why do people say they dont want to be negative and then are negative... if u dont want to be surely you dont say anything!? i keep hearing double speak like that all around me

I disagree... I think we've been witnissing a weekly fine tuning from Bennett... and no question our attack has gotten better as we've gone along...

Maybe not win by 30+ but we will have more points in us then 12...

One thing we need to be prepared for is a lopsided penalty count. The officials always look after Parramatta when they play at home.

Anyone thinking this game will be a walk in the park is mistaken.
This is a massive danger game for us.

Parra will be hurting after 2 crap performances.

Saints will very much be on a high, and possibly on a let down after beating Brisbane last Friday.

The only positive for me is it's a full week between games so that should be enough time to get off that emotional high from last week and get focussed on this match.

Parra are going to want to come out and stick it to us.
Every Dragons fan who can make it, needs to get to Parra stadium to combat the Parra fans boo-ing which always intimidates the refs.

I guess the refs are constantly misinterpreting the parra fans booing their own team as them booing the officials... :)

ahhhhhhh the eels...the masters of making it look like the opponents have stripped the ball from the runner in a 2 man tackle when in actual fact they flick it out to milk the penalty.

call me crazy but i seen em do it too many times for it to be a co incidence.

Foi Foi up against Weyman. What a match up that will be........

Is Grothe or Wendell's wing? If so Wendell will have plenty to say to him in the sledging dept. This will only fire Grothe up. That will also be a good match up.

100% right Thommo,

Won't be an easy game, but we should win by up to 12.

After Parra's poor performance last week, they will wanting to stick it up us this week. Playing at home they will be especially fired up after last week, and they always like to give it to the Saints.

Having said that, this is a new StGeorge. Last year it would have been a toss up, but this year Bennet is the difference and the boys consistancy is beyond reproach. Our defence will see us through and if Sowards kicking game continues, we will score a few.

I reckon you are spot on mate. Parra will be looking at this game as their chance to get their season back on track. And being loaded with Polynesians, they are going to be hot and cold all year. Probably hot this week and will get plenty of help from the ref(s), the home ground, and big slices of luck.

Still think we can do them but it is going to be tough for any team to win more than 3 in a row this year, even us.

Bennett had the boys firring for the game against Brisbane, it will be hard for them to back it up with an equally spirrited performance. this is a danger game for us, I still think we'll win, but I don't think it will be a walk in the park - Dragons by 6 for me.

I think Bennett will have the dragons up , he tell them to play like they are coming off a lost, if they dont improve they will be dropped
