[Dragons.wow]

Are we any chance against raiders ?

Not a hope

 

[This Year?]

Struggle to understand why so many of our so called supporters death ride our team. I’m stoked we won and reckon we’ll get a few more this year.

I'm conditioned to being a Dragons fan through so many soul destroying losses and have a "glass half empty" mentality because of it.
We almost lost after leading 26-4 at half time, so I'm more relieved we won than happy. Our squad is now decimated with injuries and our draw is tough from here. Just being a realist more than a death rider.

Maybe Ricky will rest a few

Thought LKT was outstanding particularly first half and Fifita showed he could be a real force if he can stay fit.. both attack and defence

for 2026 LKT and Atkinson I think could be very good. LKT is very young and to me shows signs of Kotoa… who has played NRL for 2 seasons….

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Yes, buckleys

 

[SaintPeter]

Wow !!!!!
Fantastic effort by the boys and nice to do it to Parra at home.
Injuries and concussions everywhere and we had the resilience to hang on.
Who was the Parra forward who kneed Corey Allen in the head and no response from the officials ??
Anyway, great win lads.
Happy for the rest of the week

I love being a dragons fan. As a little kid I Sat on my dad’s shoulders at 75 gf and watched big artie smash us and the white boots of changa. Seen many losses since then but I revel in the victories. Go the mighty red v.

One of the highlights of a Dragons win is seeing JDB lead the side in the victory song in the sheds ....
Hate seeing Lomax in that Gold shirt
Going to hate Even More seeing Jack in Parras Colours next year

 

[steerlerbab]

finally, "No look pass Lomax" paid some of his debt to the club. At 26-20 and with Parra at our try line for nearly 10 minutes and with referee blowing penalty after penalty, I thought there we go again! But then Lomax decided to pay part of his debt. He still owes us another 10 tries.

Boys showed a lot of courage in that 2nd half, given the serious injuries and HIAs , they were challenged but also had a bit of good fortune. it wI’ll be tough even fielding a side next week.

 

[VodkaSaint]

More heart attack material. Happy to get the win but I wish they could have kept going after half time. My Sunday will now involve a trip to the chemist to get more of my stress medication.

I just finished a whole bottle of Vodka

 

[RedVDave]

Caught glimpses of the game was at a farewell and watching the game with the sound off lol but everytime I saw LKT with the ball geez he looked bloody dangerous, this kid has a real future very glad we held onto him.

 

[Gourley's Socks]

The two halves really showed what a difference a good platform from the forwards does for the playmakers and backs. In the first 40, we were on top so Kyle looked good, LKT injected himself into attacking plays and the wingers just had to catch a pass and fall over to score tries.

The second 40 was what we've all become used to. And so Kyle's kicks are finding the fullback on the full, LKT is MIA and wingers are spilling bombs when they're not letting them bounce.

This week there was a pretty decent excuse for the second 40 fade out. And in the face of numerous penalties and injuries, that they held on for the win was really commendable.

But anyone who thinks that Kyle or the wingers are the number one issue with the squad need only watch this game to see the real problem.

 

[Gareth67]

Nevertheless I believe that our boys will have a point to prove and will give a far better performance than they have of late and put quite a few tries on the Eels .

Dragons by 12 !

I did say 12 , however I will take 14 !

 

[56to66]

I hope everyone enjoyed that one, it could be the last win of the season.
