Round 1 v Sharks

I have an awful feeling that the Dragons will be playing quite a few games on either Sunday or the Monday night this season .

Personally I believe that whoever plays the Monday game is considered to be not a contender for the big matches at season’s end - it must affect upon the teams morale , at least that’s the way I look at it . Then of course the poor sods may need to have a short turn-around the next weekend immediately putting them at a distinct disadvantage .

Still as far as our chaps are concerned I just want to see some commitment and pride in their jersey and a bit of wholehearted effort wouldn’t go astray neither . Not getting my hopes to high for the season itself , but hey Miller wouldn’t it be nice to start the year off by beating our baby brothers from the shire !
Agree on all fronts!

both clubs love bragging rights after these games!

Hopefully Wiliame drops out and Ford or Ellis come onto the bench.

Booked in most of my trips to Kogarah. Mostly Sunday arvo games but there is a Thursday in there, which imo is the hardest to get to.

Early start today, just about to board on a far too early Sunday morning, but preferable to the Thursday night rush.

Go Saints.

Forecast for the rest of Sunday
Summary

Max 21
Rain. Windy.
Chance of any rain: 95%
rain_95.gif

Sydney area
Cloudy. Very high (95%) chance of rain. The chance of a thunderstorm in the morning. Winds southerly 35 to 50 km/h decreasing to 25 to 35 km/h in the evening.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Cronulla bring in A.Fifita on the bench. It'll be a tough game in the wet. We need to hold the ball and complete our sets, play down the middle as much as possible, play with a bit of depth. Dufty, Hunt and Clune backing up every run.
I haven't seen all the games so far this weekend but I haven't heard of anyone taking advantage of the new scrum rule - a penalty if you break early - our boys should hold the ball in the scrum, it's an easy penalty ( if they police it like they're supposed to ) and a gift 20 - 30 metres up the park and great if you're stuck in your own half.

Can't wait for kick off, good luck boys.
Go Saints !
Kerr for a hat trick ( a la Sims in the 2018 final against the nags ).

Bucketing down a short while ago. Thoughts go out to those braving the hill today.
