anyone know if fifita is injured ? not picked for either team

 

[TheRev]

Herring still needs a contract first.. he could potentially take Ramseys slot.. problem is the seaosn will be nrly over before we can get Flanagans support staff into the building and grab someone.

Interesting to see that LK-T has been picked as a bench player for KOE Cup.

Many have a very high opinion of him. His progression over the latter half of the season will be one to watch.

Hamish Stewart and King-Togia both playing off the bench. I think Stewart is going to be a gun for a long time. Dolphins wanted him bad, but we were able to resign him for 3 years. King-Togia potential 6 option in future years but also big enough to play backrow

We are playing now at 10am in NZ.
Even the nrl website hasn't got a score up and it's already after 10.

Dragons leading 18-16 with just under 5 minutes to play according to the NSWRL website. (Not sure if the website's clock has stopped or has frozen)
Along with Fifita, also no Treigh Stewart playing today.

 

[KogarahWarrior]

At least one of our sides can perform. 18-16 win

Dragons were down 16-6 at half time, so in a very positive sign, kept the Warriors score less in the 2nd half.
Did not think I would post the following comment this year, but after watching Stewart play last Sunday, I would be okay to see him picked at fullback, with Sloan to the wing for Feagai against the Sharks.
Tough game for the young bloke to play in, but I give us very little chance of winning, so why not give him a chance is my thinking.

 

[KogarahWarrior]

I think it's time to debut Ryan couchman as well, he may be a year behind in development but come on... He's been one of the, if not the best in KOE every single week this year

I'd be tempted to give Sione Finau a jersey in place of Feagai. It's a long time since I've seen a Dragons winger with so much speed (just watched the Dragons V Wests KOE cup highlights from Round 16). He's a big boy and also brings the ball back strong. What is there to lose.

This season you have to search very hard to make a positive comment about the Dragons. But I think it is quite objective to say something good about the KOE Cup team over the past couple of months. After a shocking start to the season, they have now begun to string some wins together and today they came from behind playing away from home against a Warriors team ahead of them on the ladder, while missing regulars Stewart, Moga, Burns, J.Hunt, Fifita and Musgrove. Their for and against tally is now 0, quite an achievement after their huge early season losses.

It’s weird I’ve seen him in the flesh and he looked slow … rapid as in those highlights so perhaps he was carrying an injury

As a defensive fullback Stewart makes Sloan look like Slater.

How do we not have the size of our reserves players. What a joke. They need to televise every reserve game too. We have highschool games streamed but can't do it with the reserves comps. Pathetic.

I am all for first-grade and reserve-grade teams playing at the same ground each week with 10 players from reserve grade sitting on the bench for first-grade. Introduce the rule, when you come off, you stay off. This would solve a few problems:

Fans would get a look at players with potential coming through.
Inexperienced players would get a taste of first grade.
Players could be promoted to the top 13 based on their performance of the bench in previous weeks.
The coach could include some backs on the bench.
A serious injury to a player would not come with expectations that he would play on injured to help out his mates.
No need for an 18 man rule.

Correct - and Slone is showing minor improvements... as in he is moving towards the attacker... but long way to go - lets hope putting size on helps
