The Choke

Has the Wayne Bennett post origin slump hit the dragons.

No, I think it's a bit different to that slump.

I'd call this a shyte attitude/no hunger slump.

 

[POPEYE]

Isn't that what happens when a team dominates the other? They hold onto the ball and don't give away penalties?

The Dragons were up 20-0 after as many minutes, of course the commentators are going to pump them up.

They were wobbly around this time last year as well, I wouldn't be reading too much into it. I'm not an apologist but I wouldn't be waiting off a Bennett coached side too easily.

That may be, but a smart thing for a commentator to do is wait to see what happens when the other team gets some ball . . . which invariably happens.

It is also prudent when you're paid to call a footy game do your job. Naming one player in a set of six and writing a team off after twenty minutes is not a good look

 

[Freddy's Girl]

Do you mean like when a team thrashes another team 38-0 when tries were worth 3 points? Or are you referring to how we smashed the Warriors in 2002?

:lol::lol::lol:

Nothing like a sunday night DnM, let it out Hutty

All legit tries too :music1:

ST GEORGE CAN'T PLAY .......... :lol: :lol:

2010 GF says we can

 

[Honkiest_Honky]

That's funny and educational!

 

[Habitual Linestepper]

He and the Bunnies rely solely on scoring more points than the other team, defence really isn't part of the game plan.

Some times it pays off

for the most part it goes horribly wrong

The comp needs teams like that, they're not/never going to win it but they do make it more exciting.

Dear Stain Merge fans,

I finally understand what 'lol' is all about. I get it now, thanks.

Kind regards,

This but 'writing' instead of waiting!

Lots of chokers calls last year too.

As a Warriors fan, I can probably take a little bit of pleasure out of seeing such performances given the Drags are our likely 3v6 finals opponent. But I'd still be very wary of them peaking at the right time. I'm sure Bennett is like Bellamy and places very little importance on minor prems (and more so on staying under salary caps)

I did an interview with Jamie a couple of weeks ago and he sounded very hungry, maybe it is a certain batch of players? Or perhaps a down period mentally?

 

[StormChaser]

The Storm have won one premiership since their inception just as the merged entity has, doesn't really matter when either was we're still even knackers. The only difference being is that we won ours against your mob :lol:

As you were......back to your sulking.

Quotes for a story which was published. Nice try though.
