Team Vs Storm

[Cooper-Man]

The St George Bank Dragons will this week welcome back second rower Ben Creagh and utility Chase Stanley for the clash against the Storm at Olympic Stadium on Monday night.
Creagh, 23, has been out for three weeks after suffering a quadriceps injury in the lead up to the round 16 match and Stanley will return on the interchange bench.
“It has been frustrating to be out with the quad injury and it has taken a bit longer than first expected to recover,” Creagh said. “It is definitely back to 100% and I’m looking forward to taking on the Storm this Monday.”

[Cooper-Man]

Strong team, though I would like to see chase stanley stay in the team.

 

[Ribs]

I hope Young's service from dummy half gets better.

 

[smacky]

ye well we know thats not going to be the team that plays on monday. With gaz having that roaving fullback role. I wish they would stick to that team on paper.

 

[sting]

why is gaz still captain??

 

[Ribs]

why is gaz still captain??

I dont think Gasnier should be captain but given he just cleared things with the decision to move to union, its now his last year, he is up against Inglis after having Inglis hand him his arse in Origin 2......

I dont mind seeing what his reaction will be as captain.

 

[mightydragon]

Goes to show you how much of a joke the decision makers are. Gasnier should be immediately stripped of the captaincy. Where is Wendell? Is this the next crusade? Drive Wendell out by signing him and not giving him a go. I know it's hard to squeeze him in but show some respect for someone who respects the red v, not one who sh*ts on it.

 

[Dragon]

Needs more Dell

 

[sting]

Dell is a must! just for the passion and enthusiasm he is showing. and as he said in some artice today or yesterday in every game he's played of league since he came back he is yet to taste defeat, he's 6 from 6. could be a good luck charm for the saints a bit like crocker was for the storm a while back!!

 

[LOYAL DRAGON]

gaz should not be captain

[gregstar]

good luck fellas.

 

[LOYAL DRAGON]

good luck fellas.

yeah reality hits hard

 

[Syren]

I wanna a good showing, need to bounce back from last week, doesnt necessarily have to win to do that either cos it was quite pathetic against the Raiders.

 

[bazookabarry]

where's dell?

 

[smacky]

As long as the boys give it their all i dont care if we get beat by 50 as long as at the end of the match they can say they gave it a real crack and couldnt of tried any harder ill be happy

 

[OUSTDOUST]

Should Of Beaten Canberra Cause If We Loose To The Storm That Makes 2 Losses In A Row At The Wrong End Of The Season When The Top 8 Is So Close.

7 In A Row Was Fantastic, But 8 Would Of Got Us In Contact With The Top 4.

Luckly It Was A Week Of Upsets. It Did Work In Our Favour For Positioning In The Top 8.

If We Are A Chance Of Winning The Gf This Year It Starts Against Melbourne.

Go The Dragons.

 

[Ribs]

Gavin Badger...... worst ref in the comp. This could get ugly..... why cant we get Maxwell?

 

[dragonfire]

Ryles and Poore need to step it up this week, btw i though Creagh was suppose to be ready last week, if so did the staff give him a little extra luxury time?

 

[dragon girls]

i would have dell instead of nightingale. we need experience its the business end of the season. nightingale goes missing too much.
