Round 5 v Souths

[BradMackay]

I feel Bird has said I’ll resign only if I get to play 5/8.
Mbye must thinks it’s Xmas for him.
Hook is done.

Max Feagai (ankle/leg) – indefinite
Cody Ramsey (hamstring) – indefinite

And Sullivan pushed back another week, that's now due back round 2, no wait round 3, err I meant round 4, no 5 this time for sure round 6.
I seriously doubt we will see him any where near first grade this year.
Loose this week and then the next 2 and season over by round 8

lol so many people jumping there gun.... whoever said Latrell vs Mbye... can you imagine Latrell vs sloan? sloan would get pushed off like a fly. just get behind the team and stop whinging

 

[Nanadragon]

How can he pick the same team?
Mbye is NOT a fullbacks bootlace for starters.

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

The charity shield win has been our high point this season. Since then we have gone backwards. Souths on the other hand have been steadily improving. Can't see anything other than a big win to the bunnies.

 

[OneEyedDragon]

Completely off topic, but ..... has anyone else noticed that we were compelled to turn off our ad blockers on this forum, and one of the ads I am forced to see is for ..... an ad blocker!

Hook is done.

I had the same thought- he has form (Cronulla) for demanding where he wants to play.

Either way, it doesn't matter. Mbye or Sloan, we just don't have the effective cattle to be really competitive. Latrell didn't play against us in the Charity Shield and if he did, who knows what the result would have been. I suppose we can whinge and complain until the cows come home, but at the end of the day, it is only a game and we don't have any say with selections etc.

Just roll with the dice that has been cast. That's what we have been dealt with so have to live with it.

are you kidding? they have won 1 from 4 lol

 

[FlameThrower]

You've got to be kidding !
This is starting to look like deliberate sabotage. Destroy the Club.

Perth Dragons he we come !

 

[be55]

Mate they did get beat by a point against the Storm in Melbourne in round 2, and they blew the Roosters of the park in round 3...

Sure the Panthers beat them at Penrith last week but i think it's pretty safe to say they are travelling a bit better than us at the moment...

Don't you think ?

yes agree they are better but they are not on the up. We can beat them. contain latrell cook and walker and we will bully them

Why compare the two fullbacks , they very rarely meet on the field.
Souths are a different team to the CS. In the CS, Ilias was debuting but has improved considerably since, and Latrell, Murray, Knight and Campbell didn’t play. On form, Souths have played three of the top four teams favored to win the competition and competed for a near win in all three. They are desperate and will be on big time for this game.

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Just saw the team list V Souths......looks like I will have the best lawn in the street again.......its amazing how may weeds you can pull out from half time to dark

One thing that I have really missed under this administration is the lack of transparency when it comes to injuries.
Every week, Nathan Pickworth would put a video out detailing injuries and rehab times.

I feel really disconnected from the club at the moment and it is really dissapointing.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

This is a winnable game if we play like we did against Penriff in the second half and Souffs play like they did against Melbourne in the first half.

Problem is, you never know what to expect from Saints these days...they usually dish out dribble.

You are so right BlackDuckSaint - the lack of updates and letting us fans know what is going on with interviews etc with our conditioner - especially with Bud Sullivan - and with our players talking in general about anything - we used to have a guy (forgotten his name as it's been so long ago) roam around the paddock on training days or in the shed to give us an insight on the fellas. The only interviews we get now are the ones with Hook before and after the games - which are not worth a grain of salt anymore.

What has happened to our club? Who runs the promotional matters at the club? Where is anybody....anybody there??????? Wake up boofheads.

 

[Gareth67]

I really cannot find too much hope for a Dragon victory this weekend , not after Sunday’s display . Unless Griffin has solved the problems that have plagued the team in their last 2 matches , then I can only see disappointment once again .

That’s hard for me to say after following the Dragons for so long however until we can find ourselves some commitment in defence and a true leader on the field I fear that this will be yet another winter of “ if only “ .

 

[mickeylane]

Everyone relax. Changes will happen before kick off
