Small smile on my face.

Do you mean John Eales was playing?

Rein must've got the idea from McIness, who also flipped a pass to no one against the Gold Coast.

I didn't smile.

God I hope you're wrong mate.
If Duges is out, he's got to give Dufty a shot even on the Wing and switch with Nighty in attack.
Mann must be 7 again regardless, surely Mary wouldn't move Mann again? Doesn't he f**king read this forum?

 

[Overseas dragon]

1 Dufty
2 Thompson'
3 Dugan
4. Lafai
5 Nighty
6 Mann
7 widdop
The backline id like to see but 1000000 to 1 chance if Dugan is playing it's nice to fantasize..what do you have to say drags .

 

[Dragonslayer]

I think the named 21 will be:

1 Dufty
2 McDonald
3 Aitken
4 Lafai
5 Nightingale
6 Widdop
7 Mann
8 Packer
9 McInnes
10 Ah Mau
11 Sims
12 Thompson
13 JDB
14 Host
15 Sele
16 Lawrie
17 McCrone
18 Dugan
19 Frizell
20 Vaughan
21 Leilua

Stuart will have his side primed for this game on Friday and I predict we will play the Raiders back into form and watch them string 4-5 games on the trot.

Meanwhile - McJetski will be working overtime re-reading the book of Excuses which will consist of origin, short turn arounds, injuries, 100 metre grounds, wingers that can catch, tries of kicks, tries of passes, tries on the last tackle etc etc.

And that's just volume 1.

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

McCrone back to half, no matter what.
You know he'll do it.

Making 4 line breaks and only scoring one try, Monday night hoodoo etc.

Dennis Papaioannou , agree with the Monday night hoodoo , more so down at Canberra.
However I going to back the Dragons on this one .
As should Vaughan and Dugan both play , they may very well give our team the impetus needed to pull of a much needed victory .
I say this as if the Big Red V is going to change our season around , then now is the time to do it .

 

[Overseas dragon]

No Monday night hoodoo it's Friday night boys

 

[possm]

No Monday night hoodoo it's Friday night boys

Two day turn around for Dugan, Frizell and maybe De Belin.

 

[Overseas dragon]

Much better than 5 day turn around they say possum

 

[Gareth67]

Two day turn around for Dugan, Frizell and maybe De Belin.

I did not realise which day they were playing , but it seems that we make things tough on ourselves during the night , whatever day it may be . That being the case , and now as Possum has mentioned , about the 2 day turn-a-round , the chances of Dugan , Frizell and De Belin playing are indeed greatly reduced .

As the earlier posters on this page have already said , it may come down to Mary ( throwing caution to the wind , by his standards ) and making the appropriate changes to the teams lineup . By introducing some of the younger players that do have the potential , to add another dimension to the Dragons attack .

At the very least , select those players in his 17 and should the starting line-up not click , then throw the younger blokes in . As each week passes so does the likelihood of a semi-final appearance , the man must try something different , perhaps the introduction of some young game-changers , may very well be the catalyst , for a late season Dragon revival .

The reality I'm afraid IMO is two teams playing poorly. They have bigger forwards and vastly superior backs. They are playing at home. For both teams it is a fork in the road game, lose and really for Canberra season over for us just a week closer to season over. I never like or want to see the Dragons lose however on the last 4 weeks efforts and remember the rot started after the last bye I can't see us winning this. Having said all of that I would love to be made to eat humble pie!!!!

I thought the rot started when Mary signed a new deal. I believe they were playing well to impress the new coach coming in. Now that Mary is staying they know that they have to put up with his tunnel vision. Can't we tear up his contract? Players do it all the time!

 

[Smack]

I just get a bad feeling that we will get f**ked over by the refs to make the top 8 closer.

 

[2010]

Say he puts Dufty on the wing. I am sure the Raiders are well aware of his speed and maybe, just maybe give him extra attention. That might prove beneficial for our backs.

 

[saint06]

No way that Friz should play this game. Josh should be rested too. JDB should be ok, as he won't play on Wednesday night.

I know we are playing poorly at the moment, however, if there is one team worse than us atm, its the raiders. They have a few injuries too, players way down on form.

I reckon they are ripe for the picking, this is very much a winnable game down there compared to previous years when we have played down there.

 

[grouch]

Adequate not "great", in my opinion.

Meanwhile his predecessor is steering Penrith to an obvious semi finals berth.

Food for thought.

lol what kind of food? A chicken mcnugget that fell down between the sofa pillows?

Rein has played 3 fkn games, and one of them was an absolute flogging at the hands of Souths. Hardly "steering" anything. McInnes shits on him from a great height.

 

[jeffdragon]

What has happened to jai field
Inj again?
