So Where's the Mongrel?

[13Dragons]

Absolutely agree with Jono.. we got owned all over the park last night, but only lost by 6. If I was the Sharks I would be more worried that they can be that dominant and only win by 6.
In Wayne we trust.

 

[Red_Vee]

meh, it's round 2. move on. next...

also, much like souths on charity shield game day, it was their grand final so of course they were going to play their best game this season - unquote.

easy to be upset when you get used to winning but no need to worry. we'll come good, we support a very professional mob who know how to get the job done when it matters most.

Round 19 Kogarah oval Vs the Sharks looking forward to that big time .

 

[dubopov]

any chance that the Bennett coaching decision is affecting the players ??

 

[InThatNumber]

I grow more confident by the day that Bennett is re-signing with the Dragons. Bunnies are reported as having given up hope of securing him, who knows what is happening at Newcastle with Tinkler and now that the season has started and Wayne starts working day in day out with the players (especially the emerging talent) I think he will realise how good he has it as leader of the Dragons setup.

I just think it was a loss that had to happen, End of Story. The boys have lost before and they will lose again at some point. But they know how to respond. As champion teams do. Win.

People need to chillax, Sharks played their absolute best, we played poorly and they only beat us by 6. I am not saying that Costigan & Smith are not losses to our team because they are but thats on top of Young & Weyman being out as well, the boys even though they were outplayed continued to try their hearts out till the final siren, people can't expect these kids (young forward to pack) to instantly fill the void.

Godz speaks the truth. It's round 2 people, not round 22.

Same side next week, give the boys a chance to redeem themselves and I guarantee you we'll be looking angry against the Warriors come the weekend.

why does your signature image have three x L in Illawarra?

Someone is tackling the big issues.

You want mongrel bring on Tommy Raudonikous don't know if i spelt that right, but he'll have them slapping each other silly, or better still bring back Browny to slap Trent LOL.

Finally got to view the game after not being able to watch on Monday night. Looking for the positives - there was a great fend by Merrin on Smith which flatten Smith

 

[gUt]

Surely Dean Young is due back?

 

[Father Ted]

Because if it had 4 x's it would be a beer

 

[djdragon]

Again on the positive note - Merrin in a beaten pack had the best stats after the amazing figures for Gallen.
Comparing Merrin to the touted Origin prop Snowden:

Stat Snowden Merrin
Minutes 55 51
Tackles 25 35
Penalties con 1 0
Missed tack 6 3
hit ups 16 18
metres 134 141
errors 1 0
offloads 1 2

I've had my rant, downed some rohypnol and smashed a few bottles of penfolds. I'm ok now. So basically I can't wait for the Warriors. We always do well against this team and the fact that we are down on troups and playing away from home makes me feel even more confident. Backs against the walls and up against a big, mean pack. Righteo let's see how our forwards go this time. Rip in boys!!

 

[Red_Vee]

the mongrel is back :badgrin:

 

[hardbaby]

They were great. Very happy with Cuthbo and Gower. Merrin and Hunt were awesome. Great effort by the forwards. And let's face it Morris and Nightingale got in there and helped them ruck it out all game.

 

[God-King Dean]

3/4 without Smith, Costigan, Saffy.

2/2 without Weyman.

That is it for me making bold predictions....

3/4 without Smith, Costigan, Saffy.

2/2 without Weyman.

But where's the mongrel?!

 

[God-King Dean]

7/8. First.
