Round 15 vs Raiders

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

I don't think it matters who we put on the field if they care as little as they did yesterday. Going to be some very dark times from here on this season, we still have to play the good teams.

I agree. There is no resilience in this side. If it starts to get a bit hard, they give up. And the coach is starting to sound like he has no answers.

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

these pea heart overpriced shitkickers won't win another game all year, deserve the spoon tbh

We'll still win some games. But it won't be through team effort or coaches strategy. It will be on the back of a strong individual performance. You never know, Dufty might be out to impress his future club this weekend.

I am not so sure they gave up.
They look frustrated in attack and could not get hardly a 6 again call In the 2nd half where the Dogs got a few?
Dogs were at full strength and really up for the game
No excuses as we were down on that extra effort the Dogs showed and in attack could not create much at all
Poor day in the office yesterday as felt it was coming after the Broncos easy win.
I still see a team (well most) still trying.

I really don't know what it was. The tries we let in were so soft it certainly looked like no-one was trying too hard. Six agains we were warned about many times but players were still holding down too long. Is that fatigue, laziness, stupidity or players not caring too much? Buggered if I know.

I accept that sometimes you get a game where no-one fires, and the whole side can look lethargic and directionless. With us it seems to be every second game.

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

we have not won a game this year w/o Poassa

I rate him, he has great leg speed. I’d have him over Kerr all day long.

There is no doubt that certain individuals at certain times were poor in defence but that happens every NRL game
It’s funny when you talk about the 6 again’s just appeared to me in the second half that we couldn’t buy one when we were attacking in their half but they seem to get a lot more than us but that could be just bias talking there
But refs Definitely favour the team that has got more momentum as if it is all about for them speeding up the rock regardless of what the attacker does in the ruck.
Inside the 10.. well That is a lottery because nearly every play that is the case
Anyway Onwards and upwards from here I hope

 

[Coffs dragon]

We have the worst spine in the NRL, a half hearted forward pack & we are stacked with ex Broncos has-beens....what can possibly go wrong against the Raiders.

What is it with Hook , that he cant attract players that he has not coached before .... Lets see who or what big name player he can sign .....

Yep. We have the worst spine and are also missing a heart. These pricks don’t deserve to wear the mighty red V. f**k them all off I say

Ok Who would you get to coach the team ?

 

[Illusion]

Ok Who would you get to coach the team ?

Hook is better than what we had for 7 years .... I know he is rebuilding the team but gee no more ex players that he has coached ....

 

[JamesRustle]

Dragons thump Bronocs, then lose to shit team following week... I hope Raiders follow the same pattern.

 

[jeffdragon]

Won't be many changes as the nsw cup team doesn't contain Duff or Norman.

Déjà vu

Starting to look like previous years with the cut and paste approach to the team list

 

[Dragonslayer]

Basically same team named, which isn't surprising given we only played yesterday.

However, Lomax named, so I expect him to play in place of Beale. Redemption will be forced on the others this week at training I imagine.

Also, seeing Sloan's name listed in the 21 (straight back from injury) is a pointer to the future. He most probably wont be in the final 17 as he's also named at fullback in KOE Cup, but, the fact he's there is huge future forecast imo (could have easily put Matt F there for example).

I’m not totally sold on the Feagai boys. They look to be rock solid but neither look overly big or express pace from what I’ve seen. I hope I’m wrong and admittedly they haven’t had a lot of game time but from what I’ve seen they look more Tim Lafai than Greg Inglis.

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

Hook is better than what we had for 7 years .... I know he is rebuilding the team but gee no more ex players that he has coached ....

They are all just stop gaps, he knows we won’t challenge long term until we get a group of young guys that have been playing together for years and say won a GF together to all hit early 20s with some good buys in the gaps. The old guys are just helping mentor the young guys.
