Titans could be a worry, but we do have the wood on them, and they've got no bull, and also possibly laffranchi or minichello for glenn stewart and gallen (maybe)

 

[thommo4pm]

We play the Titans after Origin 1, so all players will be available assuming they pull through the Origin injury free.

Apparently Minichello was injured on Sunday and could be out for quite some time.

 

[BIKER_DRAGON]

With utilty and back up players The Dragons have, I think they can win all those games and if they do they will be sitting pretty good to take the Minor Premiership.....then a month later the 2009 crown.

GO THE DRAGONS

touch wood

 

[Slackboy72]

I think Origin will be a good thing for us.
With three forwards out this will likely push Beau Scott and Dean Young back into the pack with Head, Nightingale and Lett likely to come into the team. This may push Morris into the centres with Lett on the wing and Nightingale at Fullback.
But what would I know?
My names not Wayne...

 

[sting]

f**k me that's a manageable run.

i don't see any reason why we can't take 14 or even 16 points out of that

 

[DRAGONZ_RULE]

Hardest games for mine will be Round 13 vs Titans and Round 16 vs Tigers.

Titans have won all home games again this season and we were lucky to beat them at Robina last year. They have never beaten us, but it will be a very tough match.

Tigers are a bogey side for us.


When do we play Canberra??

R16: Tigers, Fri (tough one with short back up time, although they've got no Farah, SFS our third home ground )

They'll have Farah, providing he's not injured.

Should be a bloody good game though, with our defense v their attack.

We were lucky last year against Titans but remember who we had back then compared to who we have now. Titans also were a bit weak against Manly. Since Manly lost, we are the only team the Titans have not beaten yet. Let's hope it stays that way for a while!

Yeah Tigers are bogey team they've beaten us the past 3 and 5 of the last 6 I think.

As for Canberra, that's round 23. Another bogey team at their home turf. Could be a tough one...

 

[OurRedV]

Could be a tough one...

Not if we take 4 bus loads of dragon army lunatics!

I like it - not worried about Manly as they will be ex Lyon, Kite & Stewart so evens it up, and on form we smash them. Titans and Tigers definitely the toughest, although the Monday night looks better for us now than the hopeful Saturday did for the Titans game (even if it does suck the Sydney lads can't come up for a big boozer!)

 

[Steel Dragon]

Looks can be deceiving...


Bennett coached teams (ie Broncos) generally struggle post origin. I hope thats not a tradition he had brought to the club.
In theory though - we should go all right. Manly game might prove a struggle though.

Fingers crossed we should come through somewhat unscathed and in prime postition to make a run at JJ's Shield!

 

[SerbDragon]

ye but thats due to 3/4 of the qld origin side being broncos id say..

We've lost a fair few to origin - and Cooper could potentially get called up for one or two.
