Round 2 vs Sharks

[Lovemedragons]

I'm tipping duges to have a blinder..

I think you will be right, he will be so up for this one as he prefers fullback and will want to cement that spot plus he comes up against his former club.

Im a bit worried about Dugan. Hes one of those annoying players that can really perform when he puts his mind to it. I can just see him having a blinder and then we will have to listen to all the noise about how we never should have let him go.
There I said it. Now it cant happen!

Had a dream last night about this game. We won 16-1.

So that's my prediction.

so.....

in this scenario do cronulla go in with a slender 1-0 half time lead, or kick a meaningless, yet hilarious field goal at the end of the game?

I say you will win 20-12
2 trys each with St George kicking an additional 4 penalty goals

question for you dragon nerds

if you had a gameplan that worked brilliantly one season with a certain spine combination.

but then you only had one of the four spine players two seasons later

would you keep the same gameplan?

 

[ruthless dragon]

Yeah, Why are there 2 threads

 

[ruthless dragon]

I really hope that you are correct muzzy . The man has everything going for him - height - big solid build - speed , I am not so sure . This match will tell a lot about him , up against some very good Sharks ( and Aussie reps ) , would love to see him come out on top .

I would like to see him in some space, I haven;t seen him run free yet.

How ironic that poor Kurt Mann is sponsored by Wollongong Diagnostics. Save the money & I can diagnose that he suffers from Benchtitis. A condition when the useless coach sits him on a bench all game bar 10 minutes!
Get him on the field Mary and replace those sick plodders before their condition spreads.

I want to see Mann on the field with proper game time, its a waste of Talent at the moment.

Im so confused. Not sure whether to follow the GAME DAY SHARKS VS DRAGONS thread, the ROUND 2 VS SHARKS thread or the CHANGES FOR ROUND 2 thread.

Lol I don't know. I remember seeing the score at full time, breathing a sigh of relief and then waking up.

I have weird dreams.

Just arrived in Sydney after driving all day from the Goldie.
Would love to be going to the game but down for a funeral for a family member and good mate...... and was a mad Dragons fan.

I will be placing my jersey on his casket and leaving it with him, he loved the Dragons.

Hope we win it for him.

Obviously answer: Of course not. Game plan should be tailored around the players you have and their strengths/weaknesses. The loss of Maloney and Ennis for Moylan and Brailey mean that there is more pressure on Townsend to organise and take up extra kicking duties. But the obvious one is losing Barba and having Dugan/Holmes at fullback as both are primarily ball runners and dont have the instincts to act as a ball-playing fullback. So you need to adjust, use centres/backrowers as ball players and work the game plan around the strength of the fullback.
The other option is to push Moylan to fullback (to play the Barba-type role) and find an adequate 5/8 with the ability to draw-and-pass and can run when he has to. Then you can fall back on the tried-and-true game plan - although with the loss of guys like Ennis, Lewis and Bird there's no guarantees.

Mary's answer: Change a game plan? Why bother? If you lose, it's because the players have to travel further to training.

Ill pretend to be _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and rant about Latimore maybe?

Fair bit of propaganda being fed to the Sharkies for this game . How Dugan has a score to settle with us and to make matters worse the media have brought the great Steve Rodgers name into it , by saying that the 3 years he played at the Dragons were the worst of his career . Amazing the lengths that some people will go to in an effort to have the slightest advantage over their opponents . . . . are we really that good ?
