Round 25 vs Bunnies (Goodbye Corey)

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

Rava still has an error or two in him, but I just loved those two monster tackles he made against the Cows. The poor Cowboy's players wondered where the Mack truck had come from!

He was flawless to begin but since coming back he’s gone back to his 2020 ways a touch. Hope he hasn’t been to any BBQ’s at Mary’s

He certainly improved out of sight in the back half of last season & the start of this season but yes his dropsies have occasionally returned recently.
Maybe it’s just a confidence thing from his suspensions.

Hands down worst signing in history my parra mate brought me a carton when we signed him.
Have a beer everytime he does something shit on 4th tackle against south's.

I feel bad for Clune. Been here a decade, and doesn't even get to play his last game with the club, but Norman somehow manages to retain the same jersey he wipes his ass with... sucks man

 

[muzby]

Corey Norman to be M.O.M this game.

Massively Overpaid Motherf**ker

I understand that Sloan will benefit from every NRL game he plays so Dufty not playing makes sense but playing a loan player in the last game of the year ahead of long serving Clune doesn't look good to me.

 

[Draginzaaar]

He can take the hit up from the kick off, game over within 15 seconds

Look I know Norman is rubbish but the last 2 weeks he has run for more metres than any forward except Burns V Roosters and Lawrie V Cowboys. I think this says more about our forwards more than Norman.

 

[Draginzaaar]

Lomax out means we get to see even more of Corey as he will be taking our goal kicks as well, can’t wait.

Bird might kick.......if we score any tries?

 

[Draginzaaar]

That assumes we score a try, without Lomax we lose our left side attack.

Lomax playes on the Right

GOOOD BYEEEEEE COREEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

YEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

 

[Mjab]

I’m a little surprised Hook didn’t pick Dufty so he could get a final game in the Red V like Beale & Norman do.

Lomax’s rebroken thumb is a worry I do hope it doesn’t become a chronic injury for him.

I reckon Dufty has made public comment that they dont see eye to eye and I suspect thats the reason
Not sure why he picked him against Roosters and not Sloan
I just wish norman and Hook didn't see eye to eye as well !!

Thumbs are fragile and complex structures and A good off season to mend, he then should be fine

 

[st.phil]

wonder if these thumb injuries happening post the TM Rava flick as he's bracing for contact ?

Possibly because he's an actual dummy half unlike Clune or Sullivan.
There's also been suggestions Lussick may be offered a contract too, but who knows.

BF we are talking about a game that essentially means nothing. There's nothing at stake here so whats the problem in selecting players in unfamiliar roles particularly as he already has with Sullivan at hooker ?

 

[muzby]

Just to make some of you feel old..

This week we have 5 players in our squad who weren’t even born when we lost the 99 grand final..

And 2 of them have never known the sweet bliss that was a competition that didn’t include souffs…

 

[JubileeJeffro]

Hook seems very risk adverse. Maybe Norman's shuffling is a result of having any instinct coached out of him.

Norman has been ordinary his whole time at the dragons, and a fair amount of his time at the eels also. Was a knee jerk signing when Widdop left. Key playmakers should win you games, beyond a golden point field goal I cannot recall as single game Norman won it for us with his display. Finally we move on from 2022

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Corey might end up gagging for a club on the beer money and I hope the Tigers pick him up.

But no one seems very interested.

 

[SEAT 1A]

Unable to make the eight so, not much motivation however, would like to see the club get a win for the kids

and let them rip into to song as first graders.

You get no arguments from me DP.
I’m just putting it out there.

 

[Evil Emperor Zurg]

I’ve been a big critic of Dufty but he deserves a last hurrah way more than Corey does. This is just wrong.
