Round 6 vs Sharks

[FlameThrower]

Dont usually pick on players from other teams but Moylans game is almost a none event these days...hes gun shy and totally off his game since being at the Sharks...not tbat its our worry just an observation ive made..

They were cursed with Gallen Fiffita, Wade and Lewis all getting injured.....playing catch up football...high risk..more errors..but he does not look confident ..
Valentine Holmes, looking preety average too...

I thought our bench was a real positive for us tonight. Sele was in a lot of the dirty stuff & LAM had a couple of very big runs. Mann looked threatening & Latimore plugged a few defensive gaps. I also thought they added energy when we started to wilt.

Havent seen the replay, does Sims have a case to answer re his elbow run ?

He could have ....not dissimilar to Sam Burgess.....difference though Morris stayed down holding his throat whilst the other play was it Townsend just bounced away....hopefully he gets off other wise we could lose him for NZ and Anzac Day if hes sited appeals and loses

Another win and the team has areas to improve. For me that is a positive. I’m not sure I would want us to peak in April with no room for improvement. But this team is playing great, having lapses but still finding a way to win. The other good in all this is that the other teams are turning up to play us. I don’t think we are getting a false sense of their ability because we are winning the easy games. 6-0, I never would have thought it! But I’m enjoying each week!!!

Way too early mate. Hold fire & just enjoy the ride so far. I sure am.

i know but can’t see where the other challengers are atm it is early and we have to get through origin which won’t affect the warriors but unlinke certain people on this forum I think if our coach can manage the side mentally up to and past origin when we get everyone back and injuries prevailing I think we are a good chance to go all the way call me stupid but I support the team,coach included while they’re playing like this and Winning! Why? because I’m a saints supporter

No.
I don't thonk so

* good win. Would've been a totally different game if Holmes didn't touch that ball though! We get soft and fall asleep sometimes.

* Some worrying signs in our defence at times. That hard hitting, proactive defence from the first couple of rounds is not there...might be related to refs being more sensitive for penalties.

* brute acceleration and speed is an X factor... Dufty is that. Dugan was secure for us but dufty makes the opposition insecure.

*Warriors to beat us next week.

If he hadn't of touched the ball they would have rolled the camera to see McDonald touch it when he was out, before Dugan got to it - dead ball, no try.

Agree defence was worrying at times, it isn't right yet but it's close.

Why so confident the Warriors will take us? I agree they're good but they haven't played this round yet.

I’d try him on the wing
have faith Mickey have faith

I am starting to warm to the idea of Field on the wing. He would give us lightening speed out there. He is still building up. Right now it would be out of Field or Matherson Johns to replace Nightingale.

Hey where is that Grouch dude?

And ov.
There both hidding under the table.
Yelling the sky is falling in

Yes I know the Sharks had their share of injuries but Moylans off his game before tonight Im afraid

We haven't peaked at all. We are still improving.

Mate, you’re not stupid, just fearless!! I’m a bit nervy about it all & know we still have a long way to go. The signs are good though seeing that we seem to have a few gears when needed.

Yeah brother.
A tad worried. He is on fire at the minute.
Hope we have the all clear.

The only 2 tries Cronulla scored in the first half were when McInnes was in the sin bin.

 

[Gareth67]

Tremendous performance and the scoreline was not what I had expected , but how sweet it is ! As already pointed out , there were some periods where we seem to nod off but thankfully had enough in us to continue on with the job .

Great result for the boys and also the supporters who have suffered dismally over the last few seasons . But not in 2018 , there is indeed a new found work ethic in the Dragons and that coupled with the enthusiasm of all the players leaves the semis no longer a dream , but almost a certain prospect .

Duffy has improved as each game passes and now there will be many clubs licking their lips at the prospect of signing him after 2019 . I am sure that our recruitment already realised this themselves , so here's hoping that he can be signed long term before the poachers come knocking at his door .

I wonder why some negative posters haven't been posting after the game?

 

[denis preston]

OK great win , love how we are going but the elephant in the room ??? Aitkins defence ( as well as he is playing this will keep him out of origin ) and Nightingale's speed. Getting caught in the in goal and going nowhere near the try line when 15 metres out will hurt in close games.

AND when talking about depth Mary mentioned abour 4 or 5 players to night on C H 9 and not Host once ? Freudian slip ?

 

[BennyV]

When Gallen went off, we got a big advantage.

When Fifita went off, the game was in the bag.

When Graham went off, it was a field day.

To be fair, he was cut off before he finished listing our depth because he talked for so long

We won, by 20
I am soooo damn happy!

Dufty, wow.

Guys, we just might have ourselves a team.

Love it while it's this good!

Now I can sleep and wake up happy!
