Round 16 vs Warriors

[Dragsters]

What an absolute debacle of a game. Dragons were dogshit and deserved to lose. We seriously have mental problems.
They have zero confidence. Next week Norman must be dropped, he was pathetic.

Norman out, Sullivan and Lomax in against manly is a must...

 

[Inisai Toga]

Come back from behind 2 weeks in a row. Never used to do that; shows plenty of spirit! Off subject,…the only petition i’ll sign is the one where we never have to play in those shit jerseys again.

I have solid information that Norman won't be playing next week.

thats because we have the bye !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dragon David]

I have been a Dragons diehard since 1958!
They did not deserve to win that game – what is wrong with their focus and attitude!
We will need a miracle for them to make the finals! What did Scomo say? “ I have always believed in miracles“!

You would have seen the greats playing for the Dragons in the 50's and 60's.

What was good though in today's game is that they didn't give up. Our first win against the Warriors in the last 7 games which will be our turning point against them in future games.

Go the Mighties!

 

[Smurf]

I am in shock
We really did win that

 

[Crush]

No, Warriors lost it.

 

[Maddragon99]

How many of our players will they suspend this week??? We have Fui and Moose back so they probably want to even out the ledger....

At least de Belin won’t have any carry over points if he’s charged

Very pleased that we got the 2 points , but geez what would the Dragons do if they actually made the semi - finals ? How could they possibly lift themselves into the same type of class as the teams they would be facing is beyond me .

There is just no pride in the team , no determination and no steely resolve in our defense . By all accounts our usual whipping boy Ben Hunt dragged the team to victory tonight against a team that had more than their fair share of problems , still I suppose that we can hope for a complete about face . Is it possible ?

Thank f**k Lomax is back next game

We win comfortably if he plays.

I don't want to come in to bat for the team as I'd imagine just like the coach, im pretty frustrated now BUT I thought the same going into 2018 finals. They seemed to switch on that year and did come close to a prelim. This is why, despite what you see during to regular rounds, finals can present a clean slate and Sims, JDB, Dufty can be big game players. Hunt has definitely seemed to have grown since 2015 too.

Having said that, we have to make finals first and Storm/Penrith would give us a shelacking any day of the year.

Some of our best performances are against the top teams. We seem to have a huge problem with complacency. If we can somehow put our best side on the field which is;
1.Dufty
2.Ramsey
3.Wiliame
4.Lomax
5.Ravalawa
6.Norman
7.Hunt
8.Lawrie
9.Macca
10.Vaughan
11.Bird
12.Sims
13.Debelin
14.McGuire
15.Alvaro
16.Kerr
17.Fuimaono
18.Faumausuli
If we can build our game and get some combos going with this side we can at least throw a spanner in the works.

 

[snogard6]

Name JDB in reserve grade next week as he needs match fitness

 

[VodkaSaint]

 

[Dragons2020]

I think the best side is possibly
Sloane possibly Dufty
Ravawala
Bird
Lomax
Ramsey
Norman…possibly Clune
Hunt
Vaughan
McCullough
Lawrie
Sims
Fumiano
DeBeln

Williame
Kerr
McGuire
?

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

Name JDB in reserve grade next week as he needs match fitness

He’ll be suspended and reserves are postponed

 

[Gareth67]

I just realized that ex- Dragon Nathan Brown is the Warriors coach , can the bloke afford to lose any more hair ?

On the back of Hunt both times.

 

[George Sancti]

The Warriors were very poor and we should have beaten them by at least three converted tries. The positives for me were Ben Hunt, Paul Vaughan and the fact that we did not roll over when we fell behind by 12.

 

[thebigredv]

Would feel bad for warriors but their two players trying to milk high contact/crusher penalties was low. I would hope our players don't do that. Poor form. Disgusting and cowardly in fact.

 

[thebigredv]

I think the best side is possibly
Sloane possibly Dufty
Ravawala
Bird
Lomax
Ramsey

Might be contentious but Ramsey doesn't make my best team at the moment. Either Feagai deserves another shot on the wing when ready.

Like Cody's heart but he is just not impacting games as I would want, very easily pushed back on returns a la Dufty. Couple chances with space tonight and he just stuttered rather than put on the speed and the stepping he does possess. Glad to see him get that try though.
