That’s possibly the worst half of footy from any side this year from the drags …. Let’s hope they beat it in the 2nd half

Well, I didn't think we'd put a solid 40mins of football in, let alone only let in one try (albeit due to sloppy ruck defence by I think Ogden amongst others).

Brown is popping up everywhere in attack and having one of his better games - just like he could have done when Moses was first out... but instead BA heaped the pressure on him, gave him the #7 jersey and the rest is now history.

The big question - can we keep it up for another 40mins? Will Trent's half-time talk and desire to beat his former Dragons side push us to greater heights... or will we put our cue in the rack during the break and get out coached, out played and run down in the second half, classic Parra style?

In all seriousness we've actually been competitive for most of the last 10 weeks...with a bit of luck we should be 2 or 3 wins more on the ladder.
Especially the games against dogs, riff and Broncos.
Still feel NRL wants us to get the spoon so tuggers don't get a 3peat

We all know which scenario is most likely !

Our third try, great work by I think Asi to Blaize with the mini break and one hander to Sivo... but why was Gutho already so far down the field on the 4th tackle? :laughing:

Fourth try - Tago's one. Pretty much a repeat of the first try to Peninisi, but Brown with more options to choose from with Gutho chiming in.

Ripper of a pass from Brown, and well taken and scored by Tago!

I think we've only used 2 interchanges in the forwards too so far - Moretti for Ogden, and Makatoa for Joe Offa?

So we should have plenty of petrol for the second half.
