Round 13 - v Panthers

[Blood Shot Eyes]

It's a media competition and the media loves a spectacle. The media also loves a villain or fall guy - and that's us. And, to be honest, after the JdB thing and the Amone thing and the Sailor thing and the bbq thing it's entirely our own fault.

And possibly there's some I'll feeling towards Flanno imo

 

[Michael Matral]

We won't be taking the Dragons lightly..Origin affected team, you guys coming off a loss..we will need to have our game faces on to beat you..

 

[RedVDave]

Su'a, Hunt & Lomax will be out maybe Molo to it's a battle of reserve grade. We seem to play extra poorly without Hunt. We are going to get touched up badly.

PP 48 - Saints 8

Thanks mate, but you will probably only need to send half your team out anyway

You guys can be blind folded and you will beat us .......

That's what we thought against Manly and the Warriors and we had our pants pulled down..no team this year can be complacent.

No no no no no no, trust me the Dragons will be up 14-6 at HT and lose 42-14 FT, you can be complacent

I just don't know what else to say BSE only that whatever we see is not what the refs or bunker see and whether or not there is any bias in their decisions. We know that all officials involved with the game, bunker, referees, sideline flag bearers, would have a "favourite" team that they themselves would have followed for most of their lives. I can remember working for a guy who was a Tigers supporter and he was a touch/lines man and having strong allegiance to the club he followed made some calls going his favourite team's way particularly forward passes. Sadly he isn't with us any more but you do know what I am saying don't you BSE??

Tell me which one of the current officials actually on the field or in the bunker is a Dragons supporter? I'm leaving Peter V'Landys out as he doesn't officiate the games in fact, I think nowadays I don't think that he gives two hoots for the Dragons as his main concern is getting all that lovely income coming in.

Who said that Vlandys is a Dragon's supporter? Just because he is from the Illawarra, doesn't mean he follows the Dragons. Has this come from the horses mouth or are people adding up 2+2 and getting 5?

If he is in fact a Dragon supporter he couldn't be accused of playing favourites where we are concerned.

Great post mate

Good on you BSE. Our hearts will be with the Dragons. Keep the faith mate.

He most probably was a Steelers supporter maestro1 when he was growing up. He was mates with Ian Millward going back to early school days.
"Millward’s ties to V’landys run deep. The pair grew up in the same street, they both attended Keira Boys High School and they played rugby league together for Wests Illawarra." - an extract from the Illawarra Mercury.

I most probably am wrong he might be a Roosters fan now that he has grown up and most probably great mates with Nick Politis because of their Greek background.

 

[jeffdragon]

No Hunt, Lomax & Sua no chance.
Points?

 

[jeffdragon]

So CT on wing.
Centre?
Pick Marshcke in halves.
Maybe one of the Couchman's into the 17 with BMM.

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

I'm hoping Marschke gets a run. He seemed to bring a fair bit of energy on the few times he was allowed on the field.

Yes, would be good to see how he fares as a starting half. Couldn't do any worse than Hunt!!

Dragon David I knew he played local league and his connection to Wests Illawarra and the Millwards, but a lot of people down here follow other clubs. I'm not doubting he is a Dragons Supporter, just wondering if that is assumed or he has said it.

I only know what you know maestro1. He really hasn't openly admitted to following any team just that he did play in the South Coast as a growing up lad. That's why I threw in the Roosters as a maybe. Anyway, who cares. He might not even have a favourite and wishes every club all the success that they might deserve.

 

[Dragon David]

We have Lomax in the Blues' SOO1 game and the Panthers have 5.

Lomax in NSW team.

I would put CT in the centre and have Finau on the wing JD, dont know about Tamale, if the rumour is true and he has been signed by the raiders, then there is no use trailing him is there.
