If the lads cannot motivate themselves for this game, they've got no pride in the team, the club or themselves. Time to right the abortion that was final round last year.I have a good feeling about the this game for 3 reasons. They’re safely in the semis so there’s no pressure on them having to win to qualify.
Nighty’s last home game.
And of course Bloodnut “Thommo”
The Cowboys are doing it for Thurston , if our lot cant do it for Thomo then they should not wear the red V again .......
I have a bad feeling about this game. I hope I'm proved wrong. We may be in the top 8 but the Dogs aren't looking too bad atm.I have a good feeling about the this game for 3 reasons. They’re safely in the semis so there’s no pressure on them having to win to qualify.

Dragons 2018: Latimore out to make it count
Dragons Den
FINAL COUNTDOWN: Dragons veteran Jeremy Latimore has urged his side to make the most of their 2018 finals charge. Picture: Robert Peet
HE'S played more than 150 games with five clubs and Dragons veteran Jeremy Latimore is well aware that finals football is a privilege and not a right in the NRL.
Just five of Latimore's 160 NRL appearances have come in the finals arena. He was with the Panthers in 2014 when they upset the Roosters in week one of the finals and fell just short of a fairy tale grand final berth.
He was also with the Panthers when they were pushed out in week two by the Raiders and the Cronulla side that was upset by eventual grand finalists North Queensland in week one of the finals last season.
The 31-year-old has gone without finals action altogether in seven of his 10 seasons in the NRL, leaving him desperate to make the Dragons finals push count.
“I've played finals the last two years and both years I thought we were a really good chance,” Latimore said.
“We made the second week with the Panthers [in 2016] and last year [Cronulla] bowed out to the Cowboys. In 2014 we had a really good team at Penrith, we beat the Roosters first week of the finals and I remember going to the prelim thinking 'how good's this, we're going to make a grand final’.
“We lost to the Bulldogs and then the year after that we were playing [to avoid] the wooden spoon in round 26 against Newcastle. That's something I've tried to tell the boys, these opportunities don't come around a lot.
“I'm getting a bit older and next year could be my last year so I'm all in at the moment, I'm ripping in at training, making some sacrifices off the field and just trying to give my all. Hopefully we get the reward come finals time.”

Gareth if they cant get up for this , nothing will inspire them ......
For me the reality is that the Morris boys are facing against Aitken and Nightingale. So, if the Dogs run down that corridor for most of the game, there is no doubt in my mind we lose. Maybe Mary has a B Plan! I really hope that Dufty has been working on his positional play, his defense, catching the high ball and involvement in attack in the last 15min of each half.
Hey possm, glad to see you're on the mend and sharing my optimism
Plan B or the correctional and strategic coaching or the non existence of will be on display tomorrow.....if we win it'll be through determination and individual brilliance I reckon
