Round 26 v Warriors

[Number of the Beath]

I've only seen a replay of the game but it was enough to show that the fix was clearly on last night.
Liddle : try, any day of the week. Try as I might I can't see any separation between the ball and his hand.
Sloane : he may have nothing going for him but speed and he should have kicked the ball dead BUT he exerted downward pressure on the ball. End of story.
The Warriors are clearly getting their reward for their Covid-era bivouac in Oz.
Stand by for the "upset of the season" as Wests beat the Rorters today.

Yes, this could happen NOTB.

Some good efforts out there from us but does anyone else think that Amone is bog average ?

 

[Draginzaaar]

Piss sloan off to reserves he is useless .
Bring in Ramsey next year sloan is lazy and doesn't put his body on the line

All these blokes that we complained when Griffen wouldn't give them a run, Slone, Amone, Feagais, Sullivan etc. None of them are NRL standard. Not sure what is happening with our pathways.

Comparing him to Esra Mam, I'd say he is well and truly bog average. Likewise in comparison to Dylan Brown, Luke Keary, Cody Walker, Jarome Luai, Cam Munster, Tom Dearden, Jack Wighton, Matt Burton, Luke Metcalfe, Matt Moylan, Kieran Foran, etc.

 

[Draginzaaar]

Plenty of players busted their arse out there all game, tackling and trying to stay in the game. And then Sloan comes along with a nonchalant attempt to pick it up when he can just ground it.
Sick of his lazy, carefree attitude and he can go somewhere else.
Really hoping Ramsay is back next season.

It's not as if he was going to pick the ball up and try to get out of the ingoal.

Won't happen. NRL want the blockbuster of Rorters vs Souffs for the last round.

I agree although I thought our passing leading up to last tackle has been on the improve and looked quite good tonight. I liked how F Molo chimed in as the link man. Where it breaks down is that our halfback lacks the creativity to create any opportunities and only seems to have a bomb in his bag of tricks. Hardly ran the ball.
For mine, I thought the forwards were very good tonight. If we had a better spine they would be rewarded for all the effort they put in week in week out.

No line breaks and lack of offloads are a worry. Don't we have any offloaders?

I've never seen a more average bog.
He makes Corey Norman look like Poppa Clay.
Tbh, I think we all got excited about the new breed just because they were new - after years of Aitken, Norman, Duffty etc anyone seemed like a breath of fresh air.
But Amone, Sloane & the Feagai twins are not a breath of fresh air. They're more like a cauliflower cheese fart.
Ramsey, the Couchmen, possibly Lobb & Herring. But you can't get excited about new prospects until they prove themselves - and none of them were given much chance under Mary & Hook and now they're damaged goods.

 

[Draginzaaar]

Very disappointed. Our middles had a massive crack, but we didn't have the polish. Credit to the Warriors they dominated field position and defended very well.
I reckon Sloan grounded it, but the rule is there needs to be intent to ground it. In the replay it looks like he was trying to scoop it instead of putting downward pressure.
1 more week of torture left. Anyone that says dragons fans are fairweather supporters can go and stick it.

I'm driving down to Kogarah on Saturday because my wife is a Knights supporter. What am I doing?

From your mouth to God's ear, as they say.

You're in for a world of hurt, my friend.

Hopefully watching a dragons win at your wifes expense

 

[terrydavidson]

anyone know what is going on with the trial of amone PLEASE

 

[Rocket Rod]

Yep SLOANY was POOR Well summed up................

Agree poor Sloany
He gets paid probably 3 times more than the average wage to play poor footy

 

[Rocket Rod]

Going against the tide, we weren't rubbish tonight.

If we were rubbish, we would have got flogged. We were in it until Musgrove's dropped the ball.

We were in it all the way yet our million dollar man can never find a way to win it for us and I forgot poor sloany

 

[Rocket Rod]

I am impressed with Zac though, he is a good asset to have in my opinion

He will be a weapon next year with flanno

 

[Rocket Rod]

The two disallowed tries I guarantee would have been allowed if it was any top 4 side
The refs just do not give us any latitude

Don't know. But I know of a lot of players that I want to offload.

You cant blame Hunt for last night. It was a dewy slippery surface and I thought he tried and played OK. I blame the attacking game plan show and go sideways, drop back inside it is too predictable.
Besides they are a good defensive side notwithstanding they are quicker than Usain Bolt over 10 metres
