Rnd 6 vs Tigers

[BLM01]

Best quote to sum up the game.
west tigers are a woeful SOFT FORWARDS and small inexperienced backs.
if referee Atkin’s doesn’t keep the tigers in the game, Dragons would have won by 40 plus.
A win is a win but they beat the wooden spooners.

Titans say hello

imo don't see why Rava is getting any praise. For me he did nothing except the usual kick returns which is useful but he provided nothing else (especially slow on defence)

Error free except unlucky Lomax hail mary did not go to hand

 

[BLM01]

Also, thought Sele also had a good game.
Wasn't sure about him coming back, but he looked solid.

Love blocka but the game is way too fast for him.
Flanno and Liddle are key to us taking away pressure from Hunt. It was evident today.

It's 2 points. We move on.

He will get better will more game time no doubt, good leg speed.

 

[BLM01]

It is done

Agree, his and Sulis roles seem to be bringing the ball back hard, our attack invariably goes to our right side.

EXACTLY!!!

A conundrum!

if he stays down he'll get hit with HIA protocols
He shouldn't be forced to "milk it"
Because actual injuries get greater consideration every illegal tackle, it brings bad acting into play -just like soccer

Good on Flanno for getting straight up

Regardless - still deserved 10 in the Bin - he hit him flush on the chin with his shoulder

Thanks for the heads up I haven’t seen it yet not up on the NRL web site where did u see it ?

on the NRL site

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

Happy with the 2 points, but it's the tigpies.

I really wanted to see sloan get more involved in the game, and when hunt was off in his kicking game, for flanno to take over.

We need to re-sign su'a

Name is REDVHEARTBEAT. I resent that. Have been following the Dragons for 50 years, will never change. What do you talk dragon thomo.

i think one needs to re-evaluate ones position when 'I'm Hornby' is the only one liking your posts.

just saying!

Pretty sure he had one more. Either way he hasn't provided anything else and seems a lot slower than last year

 

[Rocket Rod]

The FAT USELESS merkin, needs to be dropped to park football.

If I was negotiating the zLomax to Parra I would’ve insisted that part of the deal is they take Blocka !

 

[Spazer]

BMM has been good for us in both grades. He would be pressuring lawrie for sure.

Pleasing to see us force tigers to constantly play out of their own 20 once we had a good lead. It's not something we're used to seeing.

I don't expect us to compete with the good sides, but we need to be able to beat the sh*t sides if we want to build something for next year.

 

[Dragons4me]

I'll take any win, so well done fellas. Now to string a two-game winning streak so I can improve my last position in my footy tipping comp.

Sloan responded perfectly today. Safe game, put his body in positions he hasn't been willing to before, took some tough catches, looked dangerous skipping to the outside on that right edge which set up our first. He doesn't need to thrill us every game, this is what Flano has been getting at with him. He will be very happy with Sloan's performance

I was a fan of Blake Lawrie's in previous seasons, but that time has long come and gone.

Forget about the Bermuda Triangle or the Loch Ness Monster, one of the world's greatest mysteries is how this tub of lard has put on weight since the start of the season. His form has been absolute trash this year. If he's not dropped next week, Flanagan needs his head read.

It's good to get a win, but if we produce that trash against the Warriors next week, we'll get lapped.

P.S. What's taking so long to extend Su'a? He's our best forward by a country mile, he says he wants to stay, get it done for God's sake...

They haven’t extended his contract as they’re waiting for other clubs to make offers so they can pay him more. Is that how we roll?

On a side note i’d be asking Lomax what he needs to stay. Seriously what is it going to take to keep this talent?

It also matters who the player is injured. They have their untouchables like Ponga / Sean Johnson and had Flanno been one of those, then Klemmer in the bin.

I’d be giving Lomax a go at fullback if that’s what it would take to keep him in the red v. Solid in defense, obviously can catch anything and would love to see him chiming in with a bit more space

 

[BLM01]

Lomax MOM.

Liddle very close second.

Sua close but that dropped ball may have cost him 2nd spot

 

[BLM01]

Wasn't even a penalty. Liddle brushed him with his arm.

100% that was a poor decision but Liddle did not need to do it
