Tommy and Red Bear....
If you check the Roosters forum I congratulated them on their win and have no sour grapes over last night.
The weather did stifle our play, whether you want to believe that or not is up to you.

I think it's a bit much to say we were dominated, and I thought the contest was as close to 50/50 as you will get.
Roosters defence was very good, but then I thought our defence was also just as good.
The 2 try's came from a grubber that just didn't get cleaned up correctly and an unfortunate tackle that knocked the ball from Dan Hunt's arm.
I can't really say that either try was good play by the Roosters.
I'm biased, but i don't think we were dominated at all.

In the dry weather we would beat them I have no doubt, as our attack has a lot more to offer.
If you can't see that the wet weather hindered that last night then you need to actually sit and watch more games of footy....again the Roosters defence was also good.
Our try's do not always come from kicks and we like to put the ball through the hands, however the weather didn't allow for this last night.

Anyone who thinks the Dragons choked are kidding.
Most people didn't even have us making the 8 at the start of the year, and to go into Round 26 with a shot at the top 4 was a massive effort.

I for one am extremely proud of where my beloved Dragons have gone this year.
And last night's game really didn't upset me that much, cause from this point in time right now....every team has to play or win 4 matches(minimum) to win the Grand Final.
As far as I'm concerned it's a level playing field.

If we play Manly or Melb in week 1 of the finals, then so be it.
If we were to win the Grand Final we'd have to play them at some stage.

I'd say it stifled both sides play, altho admittedly roosters kicking game more suited to the conditions (altho roosters are generally pisspoor in the rain). I think the notions the dragons choked is laughable, these are too reasonably matched sides.

And yep, Dragons have done better than expected this season, despite the nuffy coach and various distractions, so its fortunate that your better players have clicked into gear at times. I still personally dont think you are anywhere near where you were 2005/06, your halves just arent up to scratch, and hornby i especially feel sorry for because i think Nathan Brown has ruined him as a player, should never have been moved from fullback. You certainly have made the best of an average situation from the position the club was in after 6 rounds.

Good luck for the finals tho.

Its that time of year again.

As much I d like to see the dragons to continue to choke, I d rather they perform and not see Melb, Broncos, OR the warriors in any GF

Maybe instead of seeing it as stifling your play you should be asking why your team couldn't come up with a game plan effective enough to deal with the conditions. The SFS isn't a Dome so they should have prepared for the possibility of rain.

And if you have no doubt that you'll beat us in dry weather, im assuming you'll take the money from everything you own down to the TAB and put it all on the Dragons to win in such a match. Because there is no doubt, right?

Mate I wouldn't say your team had a game plan either to beat us.
We beat ourselves, not the other way around. I never said the tactics we employed were right for the occasion, but the weather did not suit the style of play we like to use and and it stifled our play.

I'm not a betting person, so no I'm not going to go and place money on the footy.
I would gladly have some other kind of bet with you if / when we meet again in the finals.

I take it you have neglected the other thread in here, your "mates " are going hell for leather. Absolute tossers of the highest order.

Im pretty new to LU so im only getting to know the characters around here and i'd say that theres a couple that rubbed it in a bit too much while there a few good rooster fans who kept a level head like myself.

Of course for every club there are these types of fans and you could just pin it down to elation and how passionate they are i guess.

mate credit to the roosters for their performance tonight.

Its a whole new ball game but from now on.

The broncos are semis specialists and you have to face them as they try to send wayne out on a high.

We get a choice of the surfy teams, manly at Brookvale or Sharks at the swamp. We love brooky oval, and the sharks are chokers extraordiaire.

Like i said, congrats on tonight, but i wouldnt "crow" just yet.

i agree, tonights game was a good intense struggle in terrible conditions which suited a more direct game which the Saints didnt deliver. Kudos to the Roosters.

How the f**k was that game a choke??? By these dicks saying that means they even think we are better than them, as you can't choke unless you were rated to win! Also it wasn't even a finals game nor do or die! What f**ken tools!

Last time I saw a headclash it was just an accident. Seriously I see blokes taken off the ball (and lets face it Creagh was less than 1mtre from the ball carrier, he fell into the tackle) EVERY game ive ever watched.

If hed have offloaded to Creagh he may have scored, that big a bloke that close to the line. Sa wouldve looked a dill if that happened, so he hit on suspicion.

If you run DECOYS occasionally you get checked, its been in the game since about I dont know 1908.:crazy:

Man up gaylords.
