We are at $5 H2H.. Might put a double on

ps are we allowed to talk about betting here or is it frowned upon?

$20 says it's allowed

 

[Smack]

gimme a double mate, I';m gonna have a punt soon. Same game

head to head and something else

$20 says it's allowed

 

[Overseas dragon]

Well it doesn't get any harder than the Donkeys at Suncorp. But for what it's worth i predict Dragons 22 Broncos 20 watch out for our forwards to stand up. SIMS WILL HAVE A BEAUTY. go the BIG RED VVVVVVV. I rubbed my new dragon this morning and he told me the score. I hope he's right, he doesn't like donkeys either

As long as Mary doesn't dump Dufty to accommodate Aitken if fit.

At this stage Dugan to fullback is a huge backward step imo.

Good point, knowing Mary he's every chance of doing that. If fit Aitken should take Milne's spot on the bench.

We have the 17 to beat any team in the competition. Do we have the coaching staff that can prepare them to play at their full potential?

My family and I will be there tonight - 12 of us all in the big redV.
GO THE MIGHTY DRAGONS!

Looks like Milne to the wing for Nene with Friz doubtful having rolled an ankle yesterday and 2 others unknown with the flu.

Milne is a better option on the wing than Aitken and this also leaves the rest of the backline as named.

Hopefully we don't lose any more...

 

[Redhoopz]

Really hope the Dragons get up for this game and put in a consistent 80mins. I just hope come KO, Dugan isn't playing fullback.

I think if they can attack with speed (ala Mann) like they did last week, that's their best chance of beating the Broncos

 

[Overseas dragon]

And report that Dugan fullback wow if it's true he's an idiot

 

[blacksafake]

And report that Dugan fullback wow if it's true he's an idiot

There were rumblings on facebook & twitter on wed night saying that dugan would be fullback with dufty "rested".
If so he only confirms what we all know.
Idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sea dragon]

And report that Dugan fullback wow if it's true he's an idiot

In fact not a bad idea. Dugan to fullback Aitken to centre. Milne on wing.
Its better defensively, then bring Dufty on 2nd half when Broncos are tired and carve them up!

 

[jeffdragon]

Whatever team goes on the field
Lets get behind them .
GO SAINTS.

 

[coast_dragons]

Sele in doubt.

 

[Gareth67]

Surely to goodness not ? This must be incorrect , the young bloke has been of tremendous benefit to the teams attacking ability and giving opposition defences headaches .

Even Rugby Leagues ' man about town ' Reg Regan , said that for the Dragons to beat Brisbane , they must attack and never take their foot of the peddle .

If Dugan is indeed at fullback, it can only mean that McGregor's game plan is to play a defensive one rather than and attacking one - suicide against the flair of Hunt , Milford , Kahu and Roberts etc. etc .

Still , I have a good feeling about this , I am going with the Dragons to win by 4 !

 

[coast_dragons]

Donkies by at least 12.

NO .......

 

[OzDragon]

Surely Dufty doesn't get rested. Put him on the bench if you absolutely must, but wtf would you rest him for?

 

[kit66]

Can't be sure but I suspect Demetriou might have had something to do with the Bronco's resurgent attack of late. He also has some inside knowledge about the way we play. It could be a huge carve up tonight and I wouldn't be surprised but as possm mentions above, we have the ability to beat anyone on our day. If the boys can lift and sustain their efforts for 80mins we could cause an upset. Broncos are the ones to beat if we want to make a mark this year.

Dragons hang on to win by 7 after a late comeback from the Broncs.

Go Saints !

I agree where did this stupid rumour start........having said that who knows what McGregors thinking.......
