Round 25 v Sharks

[DeathBlooms]

Sharks are a different level to the dragons. Dragons are lucky to be anywhere near the 8. If they make the 8, they will just be making up the numbers…just my thoughts

Yes we would be making the numbers but reaching the top 8 helps us recruit players which we are stuggling to get anyone.

 

[TruSaint]

We should be out of this, but somehow we are not.

They are killing the field position and speed of every play.

 

[Dea]

60% of posession and they only lead by 8 if we can hold the ball we can win this

Agree. We are completing at only 74%. Cut out the drop balls and simple mistakes, put them under some pressure and we could make a game of it.

 

[Dragonsdiehard]

In light of the gravity of this one, I feel something lacking in our intensity.... lift our intensity and we are in this.
Losing Feagai won't help though and can someone put a firecracker down Lawrie's trousers 'cause damn he's soft. Post contact metres aren't in his vocab.

 

[Dragon David]

Sharks men too big, strong and fast. Brailey dictating play in attack. Sharks speed is tiring us. We need to hold onto the ball. Possession needs to increase by us. We need more sets at them to tire them but we give the ball back.

First half not good so hope the second half is better.

 

[Dribble&Yarn]

We’re doing okay with the score here. I feel like we’ve defended okay for the most part (the 2x Feagai misses aside). Hard to do much when we keep having to defend

 

[Dragons.wow]

all we are gonna hear about after this game is how the Broncos are going to get in the top 8 and can they win the premiership from 8th spot. oh my f**king god. That, together with the orgasms the commentators have about the Bulldogs is a real turn off.

 

[St Tangles]

We are a mentally weak team

3rd sell out home game with it all to play for and we implode

 

[SAP58]

Can we replace Ennis? His passion and praise for the Gummies is over the top.

I had to turn the volume off again.

 

[Spazer]

Honestly, down 8 points when we have been way below average, and sharks have had bulk possession and completions it's not the worst result.

Sharks gameplan is working well for them but it's mostly us being sh*t and not holding onto the ball. Their first 2 tries were soft.

 

[Dragons4me]

So halftime at 14-6. Which way will the 2nd half play out? Are we good enough to bounce back or will tools like Ennis (silent "P") lather himself up over a victory for his beloved flounders?

 

[jeffdragon]

Geez its frustrating.
6-4 still against 12 and then Couchman drops it.
Not giving ourselves a chance .
Ball handling poor,resulting in too much defence and poor tackling for soft tries let in.
I can't see us winning this but all l is not lost as we have been good against teams around and below us.
Teams above us besides that Storm win has been hard to crack.
We just make it hard for ourselves everytime we have a chance to cement our spot.

 

[DeathBlooms]

Important games these players never turn up. Haven't for years. Always get belted.

I think we get tired and lose.
We could of set ourselves up in the 1st half but we fell very short.

 

[Tomaraque]

On the positive side

Couple of key / brave tackles from Hunt and Sloan.

Jack Bird leading the side well

Zac Lomax is fired up and would love to see a golden 40 minutes from him.

It is a funny game and it doesn't take too much to turn it on its head.

I don't how but we are still in the chase.

Flanno...blowtorch needed at the break, couple of the forwards need to hit the line hard and not looking to play a linking role, hit the line hard.

We can do it, they are very beatable.

 

[OneEyedDragon]

40% possession and plenty of dropped ball - we are lucky to he only down by 8! Hold the ball and no dumb penalties and a win is still a slight possibility. Must he first to score on the second half.

 

[dragon75]

We know which dragon team showed up in the first half. Absolutely terrible. Hopefully their attitude improves in the second half

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Yes we would be making the numbers but reaching the top 8 helps us recruit players which we are stuggling to get anyone.

Sorry mate. Not having a go at you. But making the 8 isn’t going to help recruit players. Just my opinion.

 

[DeathBlooms]

They don't look fired up in the sheds. So don't think anything gonna change.

 

[56to66]

I fear a smashing coming along 38-10
