raiders game

[ALSGI]

I have this funny feeling that tonight McCrone will stand up.

I'd love to see McCrone have a blinder, but that means Mary will cement him as our half for the rest of the year and ........ never mind.

 

[OzDragon]

We've got a few ex raiders playing tonight, might add a little fire to their bellys.

Yep, ironically all players they didn't want rather than lost to other clubs. Let's hope the vindication is all ours not Ricky Stuarts'.

 

[gregstar]

hopefully any tries they score from kicks won't be included on the scoreboard.

if they aren't included, we might only lose by 28.

Vaughan was a massive stuff up on their part, he's been phenomenal. Thompson is all class and has been a great pick up for us. Then Dugan got fired with Finger Rapist for poor behaviour. The only one that's really been an off cut has been McCrone. He may have a point to prove tonight. Who knows?

 

[Hills Dragon]

The only chance our young guns have of being selected is if we have a stack of injuries.jetski is the odds on favourite for f**kwit of the year.do I have someone to second that nomination

Yep. I'll second the motion. I actually don't know how much more I can take of his geniusation. It is slowly killing me. Him coaching the Dragons is about the equivalent of Sarah Hanson-Young being PM. It makes me want to self-mutilate.

Really unfortunate to see Dufty drop out, but i'm a little bit perplexed as to why De Belin has been relegated to the bench and Vaughan is starting at lock.

Not sure why Sims is in the starting 13 and not JDB. Unless Mary is thinkinh going in with a bigger Pack with LAM, Vaughan and Packer all starting.

Good to see Milne isn't stating instead of Mann, but would've liked Dufty in the17 instead of Milne

Mary's probably saving De Belin to replace McCrone after he gives away his 5th 7 tackle set.

 

[Dragon Revival]

McGregor does not believe in the X factor that Dufty could bring to the side.

Milne is a total waste of a bench spot.

Dufty honestly would have been to they could have picked leilua or Lawrie.

Curious indeed with JDB on the bench.

I was looking forward to seeing him rip and tear from the openning whistle after the blues decided to play a disabled cordner ahead of a raring fit JDB. Smart move that turned out to be hey...

Dufty must be bewildered as we are now through the origin period and he is yet to get a crack...

Having said that, I think this team can win tonight, providing McCrone doesn't gift them too many bonus 7 tackle sets.

 

[Gareth67]

I love the confidence that you gentlemen are showing and also the forward pack - a real ' knock em down and drag em out ' look about them . . . . Dragons by 10 !

 

[coast_dragons]

I still will be surprised if they win.

Dufty or another speedster would be handy as we're struggling to get over the line recently.
I like the starting side though, just what we need if we're going to get some momentum back before the run into the finals. A couple of good wins and we're right back in the hunt for a top 4 spot. Can't see anyone but Melbourne taking the trophy this year but we need a good finish to set us up for a great 2018 season.

Really pisses me off that Dufty got cut....was looking forward to seeing him play.
Some excitment rather then this really boring team.

[Dragonslayer]

I don't think Vaughn starting at lock is such a bad idea. Give him about 15 minutes then bring on jdb and give vaughan a spell for 10 or 15 and then bring him on as a prop. It would give us more grunt during that middle third of the game That we always seem to fall down on.

The way its looking we need about 3 injuries at the same time in our back line before he gets a start .... and still he might be a maybe ......

 

[Old Timer]

The run on team tonight is nothing short of inspirational so well done to coach Mc Fookknuckle it's is truly inspiring to see how things just seam to gel in the hands of a master.
Bator that is.
