Round 8 v Roosters Anzac Day

[Number of the Beath]

Please tell me that Flanno didn't say "It won't happen again" in the post-match presser.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

No way we are equal on paper.
Teddy,Sualli,Manu Keary Walker.
We have who?

Kyle Flanagan.

 

[Dragon the chain]

We may have been ok last year against them but there was a lot of circumstances (eg Hook's sacking. Usually teams go to another level when a coach gets sacked)
But this year as I said here yesterday their backline had an edge over us and with our front row not matching which was due to the weight of possession 53% we lost big time. Don't forget this is the era of the 7 tackle and repeat sets.

Hook was coach for ANZAC day.

 

[HenryTatana]

Wtf was Sloan doing with the bombs?
Go up and try catching it you idiot.
Every one of them had an absolute stinker today.

Yep and it was a dry track.

 

[Sage63]

We were a better coached team then as hard as it is to admit.

Really????

 

[DeathBlooms]

3 games in 11 days. We always get f**ked in the draw.

No.he didn't.

He was pretty calm for the presser and it didn't go long.

 

[ALX25]

The loss of Suli hurt/morale was low.
The forwards were bullied.
Hunt & Lomax blunders costly.
Bird was clearly hampered by injury and shouldn't have been selected.

I wouldn’t make the boys sit through the video of that one.

Write it off and move on.

So much went wrong, it’s a wasted effort chasing the tail.

It just wasn’t the SGI we know this year.

It’s only a worry if the delinquency takes hold.

I’m going to erase all memory of it myself. 60 points…very disappointing.

 

[Illusion]

Just when you think it can't get any worse ........ They go to another level of worse .......

So 4 wins.
And 4 floggings .
It is the Dragons I know so far this year.
When we got flogged we run away
When we get down by more than 10 we are toast.

Roosters
Sharks
Rabbits

The blowtorch of expectation. Its good for the club.

 

[RedVDave]

We've already lost by not one but TWO record scores this year and people are saying we are on the right track sorry but I just don't buy it.

 

[2010Dragons]

Teddy,Sualli,Manu Keary Walker.
We have who?

Both teams had 13 on the field.
The chooks played with more intensity and the Dragons looked rattled from the first kickoff.

 

[Mojo]

It couldn’t be more obvious: the difference between the two sides was the quality of the halfbacks. Pretty much everything else was a function of that.

That's what happens when you are playing people out of position. We have the incumbent Australian Test hooker who thinks he's a half-back. Sadly his coach does too.
Christ knows why...

Hunt has done some clever things this year with ball in hand. The vision is definitely there when he is on his running game.
His kicking game bar a few nice dinks into the corner against Titans and Manly has been very boring. The one trick bomb to Lomax cannot be our only weapon.

Coach talking up the Roosters halves today, all good but let's be real Shane, your 7 was found wanting many times today. Completely flat footed and failing to take control at any stage. A player, no doubt with something to offer, but definitely on decline this year.

Great find Illawarra a halfback!
Bring back Trent Barrett!
I have two years before I start the bombs of killing this disaster merge!

 

[Lennyb]

Sportsbet had us as a no chance. They where correct.

I was unsure how, until.

If we tanked that game, it would be a stroke of genius.

Cant fix the ANZAC game NRL. It ends badly.
