Interesting to see LKT as 18th man, albeit that both Marschke and Brown are both out this round. It's a good acknowledgement for him, and indicates the Club likes what he's doing and how he's progressing. Even taking into account he won't get a run, just to he around the 1st grade squad, in Melbourne, would give him immense confidence.

Dragons team: 1. Tyrell Sloan 2. Zac Lomax 3. Moses Suli 4. Max Feagai 5. Christian Tuipulotu 6. Kyle Flanagan 7. Ben Hunt 8. Francis Molo 9. Jacob Liddle 10. Jack de Belin 11. Luciano Leilua 12. Jaydn Su’A 13. Tom Eisenhuth 14. Hame Sele 15. Raymond Faitala-Mariner 16. Ryan Couchman 17. Blake Lawrie 18. Lyhkan King-Togia 19. Michael Molo 20. Jack Bird 21. Mikaele Ravalawa 22. Connor Muhleisen

Analysis: Shane Flanagan has recalled Tyrell Sloan a week after axing him as Mat Feagai has been sidelined with a head knock. Toby Couchman (suspended) has been replaced by his brother Ryan, while Blake Lawrie also joins the bench with Ben Murdoch-Masila injured.

LKT is named @6 for NSW Cup, so I dont think he will be 18th man, it would be a waste anyway, he should be playing somewhere.

And yah normally he misses out on that jersey because of Brown and Marschke, but both must still be injured...

I appreciate we got absolutely flogged, but jesus you're laying on the doom & gloom a bit thick considering we played the Panthers: the Threepeat-premiers well on track for a fourth, and possibly the greatest team of the modern era. Turn the emo music down a notch. 4 of our final 5 games are at home
Good idea V, but let’s not just turn down that emo trash, let’s play some other tracks altogether!!!
How about:
Killing in the Name of - RATM,
Or
Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap - AC/DC
That might do it.
Better still, play then both, on repeat at 11.
C’mon Dragons.
Make me Happy again.

I really fear for this team, especially Sloan, anyone that saw the KOE side go around last week will know what I'm talking about with him. All I can say is good luck kid you are going to need it.

Its a good test for Sloan, I actually think we might stick with him now, unless he has an absolute doozie.

But yes I wish we could just forfeit the round and stay fresh for the week after.. not to say we dont have a small chance, but I'd put it at 10%, and 90% chance of a week of enormous pain on here.

Brethren, may I suggest you tune out for the next two rounds, enjoy something else, the Olympic Games perhaps.
Because we have zero chance of beating the Storm and next to no chance of getting the dogs.
After that, we will have a fighters chance.
Too exhausting for me Crush,

Time is hard to mange, following Olympics, whilst getting up at 5am for work.

But I will admit that last night on my way to bed, I walked past TV, stopped, and watched one skateboard trick.

90 mins later, I went to bad.

I'm going straight to bed now.

One thing is at-least Lawrie will play with some fire now, he won't be beaten on effort. Maybe beaten by speed, skill, strength & fitness but not effort.

We really need guys like Su'a to fire up too. Frank Molo has been a bit disappointing,

BMM & Toby Couchman showed some fight & desperation against the Panther while others were timid.

We need all players to show that same fight & desperation.

Thought we slim chance last week but no chance in Melb.
Most if us pencilled in 2 losses.
It would be impossible for us to he up for last week this and next week.
To be honest we're we are flatters us if you look at our results.
Too many thrashings.
Same as Griffin era.
Defence has gone backwards big time.
Raiders have been shit and are in front of us.
We are 10th because the teams behind us are underperforming.

Haven't won in Melbourne since 1999 coming off a drubbing Cameron Munster is back.

Yet I'm still stupid enough to go to the game and live in hope.

Melbourne (unfortunately) by 28
By only 28 would be a bonus

I reckon they can out that on us just while cake is on the paddock.
