Round 18 v Roosters

[kit66]

I can't bare to watch them these days.
Our attack is so easy to read and defend against. We will lose any young talent we have because of being made to play our boring way.

It is hard to watch some days. I want to know what happened in the opening 30 minutes of the Souths game and why it's not happening all the time. Souths weren't that bad, we just outplayed and out-enthused them. Where's that attitude every other game ? Does my head in.

Perhaps the Dragons will do a ‘ baby Broncos ‘ on the much fancied ‘ latte - set ‘ from Bondi ? Stranger things have happened , no ?

Well then Griffin had better put his thinking cap on and ‘ think out-of-his-square ‘ so as to come up with a real game plan for the Big Red V to have a chance of coming home with the 2 points .

So, team list Tuesday has arrived.

Now, the chooks havec 2 tall and rangy wingers who they will target when attacking. Our choice of wingers this week will be crucial imo.

Sims has been playing lock, so a couple of chess moves here imo. I'd bring in Burns to play edge, move Bird to lock, and move JDB as the starting prop with Frankie Molo.

Burns has been killing it in reggies and it only took him a couple of games. We need him in this side he brings some serious spark to the forward pack

We were good mate. But Souffs were terrible.

f**k me Atkins ref, Klein in bunker

13+ Chooks. See it coming a mile away mate. Ref will cane us, bunker will cane us then the chooks will demolish us. Going to be a tough Saturday afternoon

 

[st.phil]

f**k me Atkins ref, Klein in bunker

he's ok - dunno about klein but atkins is one of the more reasonable imo

St.George Illawarra slugs…..
Got to easily be the slowest team in the NRL with a bench that is quicker running backwards & sideways than than our wingers.

 

[to_ddeath]

Moga in for Rava - Yawwwwwnnnn.
Burns too far down pecking order, Woods back on bench *groan*
Rorts by 20 plus, we never beat them twice a season like we used to back in the day…

Sullivan banished already...

that was always on the cards mickey, he didnt put his best foot forward against the broncs and id prefer him in reggies and not getting smashed up at 14. he might want to make a better fist of it next time.

 

[redandwhite4evr]

Yep, good ol' Dragonslayer to the rescue Jeff. You did quite a good job for us 4 out of 5. Let's see how we go with Dragonslayer.

I can't see us winning as well unless Teddy gets injured in the SOO but that would be unfair. Best to gauge our performance against an injury free Roosters team to see if we are done for in the remaining games or if we do better than expected, for us to have hope.

Yes, Hunt has to play so let's hope he come out of SOO #3 unscathed. I'll leave the selections up to Hook now for the rest of the season. It is on his head.

Teddy is always a threat but the match up which really scares me is Manu v Amone. Joey is a superstar in any position in the backline but close to the ruck his strength, speed and skill could kill the Dragons.

Yes and it starts at dummy half, watch McC go to d-h and stand there upright, looking around and often he'll get the ball and instead of firing it straight out to someone he'll pause, look around again then pass. Watch other hookers, they bend into their work, hands down there ready to fire the ball off to someone, already knowing exactly where to pass. He shows no urgency and provides no impetus and by the time our forwards catch the ball the opposition are up in their face. It's infuriating to watch. Kerr and others were playing the ball really fast the other day and McC was as casual as all get out, wasting the effort of others. Our lack of depth didn't help either.
We really, really, really need a top notch Hooker asap.

Manu is one of the best players in the league and will destroy us once their forwards and the ref/bunker have done their work on us early.

If we won this game I would be stunned.

 

[itsme]

Moga?? Why??

 

[dragon thomo]

Same old shit. Griffin is like McGregor picks the same old crew. There are players in first grade that should not be there. Our hooker is the first player that should be gone

 

[Dragon David]

Moga?? Why??

It's the age thing as far as Hook is concerned. The young guns are just that - young.

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Just seen the team against the Chooks.....sadly looks like my lawn is getting a manicure again after half time.....at least nows the time to get the bindi out
