Let's hope its because we have signed a gun winger

What about the commentators crapping on about us taking the 2 in the first half. It's fine when they did it in the 2nd half.

It was the smart thing to do. Warriors had a chance in their game late in the second half, but instead went for a try (which they didn't get). 2 minutes later the Dolphins scored the match winner. So the DRagons did the right thing.

I dont give a toss about the horrendous weather conditions as both teams had to play in it.....it was a gutsy win for our blokes against the top of the table team......after another disappointing season to date it was bloody nice to come away with the 2 points after losing so many by small margins....credit goes to Flanno for keeping the boys competitive so late in the season when obviously the semis are long gone.....there wasn't a player out there for us imo that didn't at least have a crack.....nice to see Sele back on deck and hopefully he will have better days injury wise in the future.....Molo, Feiga, Suli and Guiler tried hard al night......looking to next season we will be hoping our younger brigade that unfortunately had season ending injuries will right for 2026

Geez that Sloan has nothing between the ears. No wonder they’re letting him go. Surely players are taught not to risk a knock on and just tackle the player as soon as he jumps on the ball. Dumb dumb dumb

 

[Phantom V]

Gee it’s hard to make us fans happy.

Great win tonight and good show of grit and determination - with the season essentially over it’s awesome to see the players still putting in a big effort. Klemmer great & well done KF - copped a lot of flak but keeps showing up and defends well. Definitely has a future playing 9/utility. Feagai has always been a better centre than winger.

I was thinking the same thing, thought Feagai went well at centre. Just putting out there but could we play Suli as a middle next year? I remember Rubin Wiki made the move and became a better player.

 

[Lovemedragons]

I knew t

I Knew there’d be a jibe at no7! Not many make that kick tonight. Give some credit

I did give him much credit for that goal in an earlier post, it was a great goal.

Great win have always said Kyle's best attribute is his goal kicking that conversion was just plain freakish.

 

[Old Timer]

Great win well deserved congrats to all concerned.

Somewhat an ugly game in super tough conditions but they had a real dig and toughed it out including some absolute shockers from the ref and the bunker.

Looking at the obvious limitations so much of our squad have I thought Molo really surpassed himself with a top shelf performance.

Will be interested to see how the Raiders handle the loss.

Great win, and great read in this thread....all the doom and gloom, and wrist slitting on all pages up until we got in front in the second half, hahaha. And have to feel for this guy....

I’m changing teams. Can’t support this rabble anymore. Take care gents

....which team did you switch to, mate?

Oh, and imagine what the score could have been if we had a real NRL halfback like Ilias out there today, hey Braith

 

[Wolfgang90]

That was a great win, shocked but great spirit shown by the team. A very gutsy effort & good fundamentals. Also, Tapine is a weak gutted sooky baby dog.

 

[InFlannoWeTrust]

Solid effort 2 negative posts after a win, you must be fun at chocolate parties.

Is Kit Kat, I’m Hornby’s new account? Maybe this one goes on ignore also

 

[InFlannoWeTrust]

Although I would have picked Jack x5 over Klemmer in terms of a Top30 spot.. Jack probably wants 500-600k+, Klem (if we have a free spot) probably comes in more like 300-350k.. so there is that.. Personally if we could find a way to offload a couple early and keep Klem as a cheapy.. id be happy..

The Jury is still out.. Daniel & Tim out there trying to get us 2026 upgrades.. if they succeed then maybe we dont need Klemmer.. but if they dont.. and weve tried and missed so so so many players.. maybe he stays on..

I did enjoy Klemmer laughing at Tapine who was carrying on like an absolute pork chop as always.. was it him or Hudson who were pretending like they had a crusher tackle, but they were the one that had made the tackle.. next level cats those 2.

I know were very limited in spots for 2026, someone few days ago said 4 left . Finau leaving makes it 5.
as you said I don’t think another year for Klemmer is that bad at a cheap price. Weekly he’s our top meter eater (yes sometimes at 110m) but still tops it.
though I also think Molo played a great game again.
Quite a few decision to make, obviously we aren’t going to sign 5 players /superstsrs . So some may have to be retained.
im thinking a winger & forward will get signed then the rest will be within /upgrades UNLESS we get rid of lawrie , Rav

Shocked?? Honestly all season to date to only lose 2 games by 13+ shows you that the great spirit is there, JUST don’t have the quality to ice it.

As Flanno said post game the early losses hurt us.
souths /warriors & eels by 1 !!

10/18 points

iceman Flano was the difference in a rugged game

those two side kicks were absolute winners
