Round 12 v Bulldogs

[Slippery Morris]

A lot rides on the officials for this game. If Saints get Belinda Sharp or Kasey Badger it will be a hard slog for the boys.

Thanks @Dragon David
In recovery mode from my treatment.
It’s good to be back.

Good on you blacksafake. Take it easy mate. We hope that all will be good for a full recovery.

Cheers, DD

Recovering from my radiation & chemo.
Still a fairway to go but for the first time in a while I’ve found the urge to get back into the forum.
Have watched the games but not had the inclination to get on here & join in the banter.
Go those Dragons

All the very best pal.

How they are the favourites is beyond me. They are below us on the ladder, couldn't beat Raiders who had 2 sin bins and we are coming off a decent win against Souths and a bye, meaning we will be more fresh.

Dragons by 10

They're favourites because they are yet to lose a game at Home this year and have had close Away losses to the likes of Storm and Panthers.
They have a decent team and some real strike out wide. They probably could have done even better but their coach is a bit ordinary.
One of the worst things I've ever seen on a footy field is the sight of Brett Morris in a Bulldogs jersey and since then the Dogs have taken over from Manly as my most hated team. We have to win this one, we have to finish the year above these Doggy scum, it's a must.
It won't be easy, we'll need to slow down their play the balls and not let their speedy backs get a roll on or we're stuffed. Don't kick to Kiraz. We should put all long 5th tackle kicks right down the middle of the ground and kick chase in a solid line - don't kick wide and give them an advantage, they'll just run around us.
If ever we needed the power game, it's this week, make their backs tackle our big boys over and over and over, wear the bastards down.
They've lost 2 on the trot and will feel a false sense of security playing at Home, let's surprise them and come out hard and fast, make it 3 on the trot.

You're a Dragons fan mate, you're built of tough stuff and you'll get through this. We're all behind you, blacksafake. Glad to see you back

They lost to the Rabbitohs at the same stadium who have been bad all year and riddled with injuries. Still think we should be favourites. I agree our forwards need to step up and overpower their smaller forwards and backs.

Have I told you all how much I hate the dogs

Never cared that much for the old Berries but I attended the last ever 1st grade Bears game, being the 1998 round 2 (Minor semi) against Canterbury, at North Sydney oval.

The bears were beaten solidly 23-2 in front of a very depressed Bears faithful crowd who knew their team was gone next year. As they trudged home, heads down, they had to endure the bulldog’s fans chanting “F$#k off to Gosford” over and over.

This is the reason my N Sydney Bears supporting wife now follows A-League Mariners and why I now think that the Canterbury team is aptly named.

“dogs”

Phew at least Badger not in charge.
Also would make the weekend more enjoyable with a win.

Glad to see you back on deck Blacksafake & take it easy in your recovery.
I have spent some time as a volunteer driver taking people to their treatments for the Cancer Council and understand the mental & physical toll.
One day at a time on your positive path ahead. Cheers

 

[jeffdragon]

We've conceded just over 100 points in 7 games barring those 3 thrashings.
If our defence is on we will go close in this one.

Great to see you back & best wishes for a better days ahead @blacksafake. Speaking from experience my thoughts are with you for a quick recovery from your treatment dont forget you cant keep a good man down for long !

Hope the work experience Kid, putting together the dragon's strip, can spell INDIGENOUS

 

[shiloh dc]

If he's smart he will spell it INGENIOUS.

[This Year?]

Feels like a statement game for both clubs. Whoever loses will feel like there there is no ladder progression.
