Should the NRL give the dragons 6 weeks off in the middle of the season?

Guys in case you hadn't heard the dragons are REALLLLLLLLLLY tired!!

The poor blokes have had to play 57 games in the past 3 weeks! Ben Creagh had to play 8 in one day last Tuesday!

They are the only team going through this and it really isnt fair. Trent Merrin and Dean Young made 7 hit ups combined in the last state of origin!! Why should they be put through this hell whilst teams like the Storm and Broncos have it easy?

Their are a few scenarios i see that the NRL should adopt:

* giving the dragons 6 byes for the next 6 weeks

* dragons games get reduced to 60 minutes and the dragons start the game with a 9 nil lead (4 goals and 1 field goal). If it goes to golden point the dragons automatically win

* opposition teams warm up 3 km from the ground and have to run their 20 minutes before kick off


Only this can end the injustice!

Why not? They've already changed the rules to reflect the Dragons' preferred style of play.

When playing the tigers as long as the players can keep sheens off the sideline, then they have done their job .

They should get any rewards what comes with that

I think if you add these 2 rules, the Dragons might be interested :

- every game for the remainder of the season must go to 10 minutes of extra time ( regardless of whether the scores are level after 80 minutes )

- extend the byes for the Dragons until October 2nd

I guess being a Tigers fan you wouldn't ever know the meaning of a tired club. Your club makes the 8 one time every 5 years so they get a few games off there. You don't have any players playing for NSW or QLD and only one player in city vs country and one for NZ.

This is a very good idea. We are the only team that is tired and everything is unfair. I think it would also only be fair if we were given 2 points for each of those weeks.
