Peni Botiki is having a dig the Fijian international.

Agree. Lone soldier.

 

[coast_dragons]

The biggest thing for me is Warriors are a stand alone proper second grade squad the Cutters aren't surely the Dragons could go the same route next year.

For Stanley's first game in the halves for a long time. He was very solid and looked comfortable. Took on the line early and nearly scored, would like to see more of that.

 

[St Tangles]

Letting in some very soft tries. Both Groat and Aoili have been ineffective.

 

[dragonreddy]

I hope I'm proven wrong, but Sam Williams always seemed to lack confidence at the Raiders & from his limited time in first grade for the Dragons nothing has changed. He had ample opportunity at the Raiders to lock down a spot for many years, but couldn't. I think some players struggle with a lack of size and will never make it.

Quinlan might be heading down the same path, especially with his kick returns when he doesn't use his acceleration and almost walks into the defence.

Mate ive been a big pusher of Williams, but ive just watched the first half of the cutters game,WTF THEY ARE DEPLORABLE INCLUDING ALL OF THE FIRST (SO CALLED) GRADERS.I think we have a lot of duds running around for us ,Stanley included ,the commentary mentioned he is our future in the halves FMD give me a break. 40 minutes of my life ill never get back.

Thing is we are on the backfoot, so our halves and backs dont get much of a chance to show their stuff.

Agree Tangles.

Stanley's first run back in that role for quite some time, so perhaps some excuses there.
Williams though? If he wants to be the first grade 7 he has to grab these chances by the scruff and impress. If he can't impress in the Reggies he will be Drinkwater Mk II.

Mate, they just scored off a tap ala Piggy Riddell. 15 out.
Garvey, Quinlan and 2 others drop off the 13 from NZ.
Softest try you will see.

 

[bottle]

Lol, no not Garvey. We need him to muscle up and be a competitive alternative.

 

[64 Dragon]

WE haven't got the money.

 

[TruSaint]

Mata scored nice intercept pass some 60-70 metres.
One nice highlight.

 

[bhabs]

Stanley's been very average, I think Williams did well this second half... Took the line on and almost bust through on a couple occasions and has three try assists. Garvey has been impressive this second half along with quinlan

 

[bhabs]

Another Williams kick results in another try

 

[TruSaint]

Spirited comeback. Williams very involved. 8 points the diff.

 

[coast_dragons]

64 Dragon if that is the case and I'm not saying it isn't the club are pathetic and really shows how horribly run this club is they need to have a proper second grade team its as simple as that.

I have to say some of the non Dragons players had a real dig and showed up the likes of Groat who imo is an utter waste of cap space.

 

[dragonreddy]

Better second half but they need to defend with a lot more commitment and Stanley needs to learn to pass left to right if he has any ambition of playing in the halves imo.

Coast game of 2 halves matey.

Thing is, you give away 30 points early, its normally sayonara.

2nd half , catch up footy, but yes some of the "unknowns" showed a lot of ticker.

Nice pass from Williams onto our 13 (cant remember his name), strong effort.
Garvey tried hard in last 30 minutes.

Ohh well, bring on the big boys now.

 

[coast_dragons]

Your right it certainly was a game of two halves in time Stanley will get better he'll get the time he needs and hopefully Williams doesn't drop his head he also needs time to improve.

 

[The Commissioner]

Quinlan is too good for this grade but a step away from NRL.
He will make a great fist of it within a couple of years.
Harrison should be playing for Corrimal.
