Good move on Bird. Credit to the coach for that and believing in JDB. Wincing a bit at the centres but what can you do when inuries hit...

I give us a chance but too much Kerr for mine. Not a fan. Too much Norman too.

Jack de Belin ends NRL exile as Blake Ferguson dumped
The Dragons are set to gift a former star a return to the NRL while Parramatta Eels have sensationally dropped a star man.

St George Illawarra have confirmed that former star Jack de Belin will make his long-awaited comeback to NRL this weekend against the Brisbane Broncos.

It has been a long wait on the sidelines for the forward, who was stood down in February 2019 due to the sexual assault allegations against him.

De Belin made his return to the footy field in the NSW Cup on June 29, and Dragons coach is ready to throw him back into the NRL against a Broncos side who have struggled this season.

Dragons centre Zac Lomax is a close friend of de Belin, and was in attendance to see his return.

“To see Bomber back and what it meant to his family and teammates as well – everyone who turned up in support of him last weekend – it was a huge relief,” Lomax said.

“He’s the hardest trainer and in immaculate shape. It was good to see his lungs burning on the weekend. However, Hook (Griffin) wants to plays him, it will benefit the team – when Bomber is back he’s one of the best forwards in the game.

“I can’t wait to see him go (around). I think if anyone handles (the new game) it will be Bomber. It’s the hardest game in the world, especially with the six-again rule … you can do as much fitness as you want, but match fitness you need under your belt.

“It will take him a few games to find his feet, he’ll be the first person to tell you that, but Bomber out of all people has looked after himself every single day, been going to the gym and looking after his body. I can’t wait to see him get back out there.”

[Dragons4me]

I'm looking forward to seeing an Amone/Sullivan halves combination. I like the excitement and enthusiasm they bring which is infectious to the team. I don't see that excitement and enthusiasm in Hunt and Norman. What we see from them is it. That's the best we're going to get, week after week. It will only happen when we're out of contention for the finals.

 

[George Dragon]

Lomax is close mate, hopefully next week.

He is not close, his plaster doesn't come off until next week.

Our goal kicking will benefit from that but to be honest I am more excited to see more of the Feagais in first grade. When are they due? Matt was really impressive in his debit and Max also has shown he knows how to find the line.

Max is due back next week
Mat back in a few weeks.

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

Dunno about this one. Broncos will lift knowing this is a winnable game for them. Broncs usually get off to a good start, but then go to sleep. If we are not far behind after the first 20 then we should have points in us with Dufty and Rava back. Forward packs look about the same. Our halves are more experienced, their halves are more dynamic. Our centres are crud. Could go either way.

Saints 13+

I wish I could share your optimism.

 

[blacksafake]

The Broncs have played some good footy at times & look to have some points in them against teams like us.Would like to see us start well, score a couple of tries early which would allow us to control the game. Defence & ball control are the obvious points we need to do. Oh & reduce the 6 agains.
I also don't want to see any of our players, especially Bird being baited & losing control when TPJ does his usual grubby tricks.

 

[2010Dragons]

If we can fix all 9 critical but simple issues below, we should win ever game including the finals.

1. Unforced forced errors= Kerr, Bird, Dufty
2. Too many dropped balls = Kerr, Bird, Dufty
3. Dumb last tackle kicking options = Norman, Hunt
4. Poor defensive line, Too many missed tackles, = Whole team, excluding Maca
5. Repeat 6 again over and over. = Whole Team
6. Unnecessary penalties given away = Whole team, mainly forwards
7. Slow lazy defensive line speed = Whole team, mainly forwards
8. Slow lazy hit ups by the unfit soft forwards, excluding Lawrie !
9. Dumb poor attitude. Most of the players are playing with zero passion, zero ticker. Just go through the motions and pick up your pay check

Mate, if we could fix 4 of them I’d be doing cart wheels down the street

Make sure you’re watching Thursday night Johnno. Bird into the pack, he’ll be buzzing and so will JDB. Vaughan and Lawrie will lift too. I’m very confident this week

It’s the best side we’ve fielded for some time. When Fuimaono and McGuire are back it creates a very nice headache.

Throw in Dufty and Ravalawa this week too and we’re looking a lot stronger

 

[Dragsters]

I'd like to see something experimental like:

1. Dufty/Ramsey
2. Matt Feagai
3. Max Feagai
4. Lomax
5. Ravalawa
6. Sullivan
7. Hunt
8. Vaughan
9. McCullogh
10. Lawrie
11. Sims
12. Bird
13. De Belin

Unstoppable.

Yep, I reckon that could be our strongest 13...

 

[RedVDave]

I have a feeling when De Belin comes on (assuming he is definitely playing) Bird will move into the centres with Williame going to the bench.

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

Make sure you’re watching Thursday night Johnno. Bird into the pack, he’ll be buzzing and so will JDB. Vaughan and Lawrie will lift too. I’m very confident this week

I'll be watching win, lose, draw, or so many sent off for contact to the head that we have to forfeit.

 

[TruSaint]

I gather from your post you believe Bird wants to play in the pack mate ?

 

[redv13]

He loves the niggle and the in your face style. I believe he’s better suited a little closer to the action than at centre

Cool, I agree with you bro. I just wondered where he thinks he plays best.
