KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

[Runner]

So 2from2 and were in with a shot.. the game is saturday so I suppose a player could play and back up as 18th man on sunday.. but prob we wont take any risks.. the NSW Cup side is playing busted and missing quite a few thru injury.. will be a hell of an ask to beat the jets.. its got NSWRL coverage also.

If we do win both we have to rely on both Bulldogs and Panthers losing at least one of their remaining two matches. To go ahead of the Warriors, they would have to lose both matches.

Yes I will watch the match on Saturday on NSWRL TV.

Warriors have done us a big favour in KOE by smashing the Bulldogs 42-10. Now we just have to beat the Jets to take advantage of it.

Also let’s hope the Raiders beat the Panthers this evening. We would then be in control of our own destiny.

I'm assuming this Jets game today is a must-win? I forgot its on NSWRLTV that means I have to watch it.. gonna be very tough I think with all our outs/injuries and a top opponent.

Flegg is 11.15am, NSW Cup 1pm if anyone is following.

If we lose today we have to rely on us winning next week but Panthers losing both their matches and the Dogs losing their last match. They both have matches against teams you would expect them to beat next week.

Question for those who watch the lower grades regularly.
Who are the players in the lower grades that are the most promising candidates for eventual first grade careers?
Are we stronger in forwards or backs? Who are the "must keeps"? Thanks in advance

Bunch of players just got pulled out of the Flegg side.. I wonder if we will see some NSW Cup debuts later today: Rumble, Ward & Halangahu.

Around 10 minutes to play, Sharks 48 Dragons 6.

NSW Cup about to get away, the big changes are Ashton Ward getting his debut in reserve grade @6 (Marshke injured again), RFM starting 2nd rower, Stewart back in @13, rest is same as usual, Stanley-Traill is 18th man though he just played Flegg.

NSW Cup15 minutes in. Newtown first to score but Dragons answer 6-all. Tamale nice step under the posts.

 

[Dragons4me]

Well that was quick! Dragons shooting themselves in the foot. Newtown 12 Dragons 6 - 20 minutes in. Some simple stupid plays.

 

[Dragons4me]

10 to go first half. Mulheisen crashes over next to the posts. 12-all.

 

[Dragons4me]

3 minutes to half time. Ben Johnson scores a pretty nice sweeping movement. Conversion by Glover and Dragons 18-12.

NSW Cup Notes (Half-Time lead 18-12):
o Not rly on today.. pack is good.. but bit clunky with a new spine... we have a strong breeze mind you..
o HFinau has been better than I expected chiming into the backline.. fast & aggressive running.. gets hit hard though (and usually around his melon), they obviously dont get fooled by his step.
o Tonga has gone off HIA 18th minute, havent seen him back.
o RFM has been average, Rava maybe a fraction better than average
o Buchanan missed a rly basic tackle to let that 2nd try in.. we should never have been defending though.. we messed up and let the kickoff go over the deadball line.. then got pinged for being offside from the dropout.. basically both Jets tries have come immediately they attacked our line.. we do not have that defensive strength we have had in weeks gone by.
o Ward struggling a bit, tried to run 1 time, 1 pass to ground, its not quite working.. most of the balls are going to Glover though their usual 7.
o Kind of losing our way in attack when we get to their line.. wasted a few opportunities.. but we have scored points through mostly 1-out bash barge type stuff.. no idea how this will go in the 2nd half...

We have blown 3 games at least this year.
We should of been in the top 5.

 

[Dragons4me]

10 minutes 2nd half. Newtown try alongside the posts. Conversion good and 18 all.

 

[Dragons4me]

18 minutes second half. Glover bombs and Ashton Ward scores alongside the posts. Dragons 24-18.

 

[Dragons4me]

15 to go. Lovely chip and regather by Glover who scores. Horrible conversation attempt. Dragons 28-18.

 

[Dragons4me]

7 to go. An Ashton Ward cross-field kick which Dan Russell leaps and scores alongside the posts. Glover converts and Dragons 34-18. Dragons now sit 5th on the ladder from today's win and other results. Bit clunky but a win is a win.
