I nearly choked on my coffee with laughter.

Norman has to be dropped. Absolutely shocking...

I don't think he was too bad but Norman will be Norman, he's always going to have ups and downs.

...and there it is.

Lomax delivers!

Perhaps one for the naysayers...

Great ball Dufty.

Great ball Dufty.

Go the Duf ....

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

Great ball Dufty.

You think that try was the only thing he did well in the game? If so than you watched a different game to me.

 

[Gold_Coast Dragon]

Dufty and Lomax actually look they are enjoying their job ATM.

 

[TruSaint]

Great ball Dufty.

And it was.
A beauty. He did good today mate.

Thought Lomax, particularly in defence was also very good.

In some ways his game was better today, it wasn't as dominant but he did some unexpected things like kicking and some tough stuff. With someone his size he cant just rely on speed he needs plenty of strings to his bow so its good signs.

Well, I could put together some Norman moments. Kicks out on the full on tackle 3, hospital pass for knock on to Rava, throws ball over sideline, throws ball way out in front of Rava, should have been a try. These are just a few, there were more than this. I cringe every time he gets the ball...

Gents how did Jimmy Graham go today ?

2nd half score was 6 all. Titans had 1 sub most of it. How poor is that?

But what stood out was 1min 30 to go and with for and against being crucial, they decide to go for the 2 points....WTF? And on top of that, did not even get the 2 points.

Saints were looking good then Rava struck with his 2 drop balls per game. That is how many he dropped against Sharks and probably teh games before then. Saints should have went in at the break with 20+ points instead went in with 14. How many bad passes did Clune throw in the first half, nearly intercepts or hospital balls. I did not remember seeing Tristian throw one in his games just cruise past some Roosters players to score a try from nothing. Yeah, the benchmark team.

Clune did set 1 try in the second half and had some good kicks but in the first half, he was going to the line which was good but his passes were poor. I am sure he will improve with more game time I suppose. 2nd half he was much better so will probably keep his spot. I just feel for Tristian as he is younger and has more potential to be a star than Clune.

How good was Dufty and Lomax. They were great today. I didn't know Dufty had a kicking game in him as well.

For whatever reason, the Dragons took their foot of the pedal in the second-half tonight.

I hope Saab gets a run against the Roosters next game or the Roosters halves will be kicking to Ravalawa's wing all game.

Well, I could put together some Norman moments. Kicks ball dead on tackle 3 7 tackle set, hospital pass for knock on to Rava, throws ball over sideline, throws ball way out in front of Rava, should have been a try. These are just a few, there were more than this. I cringe every time he gets the ball...

I don't recall him kicking out on the full must have missed that one. That last past to Rava was more than catchable. Im not defending him he does drift in and out but his kicking game was mostly pretty good and he did setup a try. Far from his worst performance this year.

Lomax had a good game mate, great to see our lads putting in.

Sailor would do a much better job

Sorry he kicked it dead on 3rd tackle, that was one of the worst I've seen from him, and that's saying something
