Round 21 v Raiders

[SAP58]

Gee we let some soft tries in

 

[OneEyedDragon]

Loving the linespeed in defence so far!

Bugger, spoke too soon.

Still, that try was from a kick, so it shouldn't count ( according to Mc85)

Blocka best on field first half for mine.

What was wrong with that play the ball?

We look the better team but presented two chances and gave them easy tries.

If we can hold the ball and stop the dumb penalties we can win this one.

Agree, thought Burns was being crowded and played it ok.

He's been huge!

We should be in front again.
Hate going for 2 points instead of building pressure.
We all know how our second halves go.
We start off slowly.

 

[Dragon David]

Sims is tackling too high. Errors are creeping in. That play the ball by Burns didn't look suss to me just before half time.

The second half is our problem. Hook needs to rev them up. They can win it but please don't make mistakes. The Raiders first try was a fluke, their second was from a bomb which normally Lomax would take.

Stay focused boys.

Score line flatters Raiders
Both their tries from kicks
Silly errors let them back in
Dragons committed in defence
Opportunities on Raiders left....Keep running attack at Croker
Going along ok....

 

[carltonsouth79]

How good is it to have some troops back!

Totally agree but let see which Dragons team comes out in the 2nd half

 

[Dragsters]

let's gone clune!

 

[Trifili13]

Don't know if I'm going blind, but apart from the player playing the ball being a Dragon, can't see anything else wrong with it.

On another note, what is it with continuously playing in that crappy jersey. The big red V is iconic and doesn't clash with any other so should always play in it. The red socks to represent the Illawarra is more than enough.

 

[Dragsters]

This is the kinda team effort we haven't seen since round 5.

Yes please...

 

[Dragon David]

Sims killing us with penalties

He needs to tackle the legs not the head.

 

[I'm Hornby]

He did well to set up Tariq's try but he needed to contest the kick for Wighton's try, he cowered and waited for cover defence.

 

[thebigredv]

Watching it back again, Rapana should have been sent off.

I agree. I replayed it and I couldn't see any dramas with it. Might have been worth a challenge but best to save it for later.

The boys have turned up to play, hopefully for the full 80 minutes.
18/20 completions, only 2 errors and 9 missed tackles - amazing, keep that sh*t up boys, it's about time we played some quality footy. Rapana should have been in the bin.
