Gee its ironic that the storm got pumped 40-0 in the 2nd half that knocks Manly out of the finals.

Same score as the 2008 GF.

The irony of Cameron Smith being suspended

Most likely made them under the cap for that GF at least, the cheating pr*cks

Last week the Tigers were still in the top 8 fight now they are equal on points with us and only a raiders converted try away from being behind us...

Raiders have been very good this year. Can’t see them going all the way though.
Yep, it's the business end of the season soon. They may only have lost four games so far this season, but I think they've got another loss (or two if needed) in them to dip out of the finals.

I think Broncos can take them in finals week 1, assuming they end up running 4th. And then Panthers or Roosters to send the Raiders packing.

Raiders draw has been pretty soft..

Play Dogs Panthers Roosters Storm Broncos Sharks only once.

Good Minor Premiership win you can only beat who you play..

As decent a coach as Flanno might be, they're going nowhere with him as Head Coach.

Even if they win this game, it's nothing to do with Flanno.

Gutho, Cook, and Holmes hide where the DragQueens are really at as a club.

Whilst we focused on youth, Dragons brought in some older experienced players on decent contracts. Our team will improve next year (barring a worse run with injuries suspensions) whereas I don't think they necessarily will.
Gutho, Cook and Val likely to be worse next year (as will Klemmer if he's still signed).
Their coach won a premiership off the back of drug and salary cap scandals while at the sharks and continues to pick his son. Glad we went with Ryles and didn't pursue Flanagan

So very glad we didn't get Flanno as a coach...
The fact he keeps picking his son over the Cup halves says enough..
He has pissed Anasta off as well the way he has treated Illias.

They will probably finish 6-8 next year and Flanno will get another upgrade. They won't do any better than that though..

There draw in the 1st half of the year was tougher then anyone's.

If anyone in the top 4 has had a soft draw its the mob at Belmore.

Flanno did his PR blitz last year after signing the triple pensioners in Cook, Gutho and Holmes.

I believe his words were they will be better next year after getting 12 wins.

Gone backwards and the joint from all reports is miserable.

Keeping Kyle in the halves is only adding to the problems.

JDB wanted out as much as the Dragons didnt want to keep him.
