Mbye from dummy half scores under post.
Off a Debelin break.
Lazy AFB getting back, also missed on Debelin.

[Alan Johnson]

Diabolical. Dragons were shit AND we were gifted two tries.

Basic skills AWOL.

 

[Blair]

Dragged back in goal for dropout.
Goes 90m

90m dropout, then four tackles later the Dragons score.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Short kickoff taken by Dragons.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Montoya over but put on back and slid out before ball down.
Montoya head hits shoulder.
Penalty try, no just high shot penalty.

 

[Alan Johnson]

Montoya looks slow?

 

[Alan Johnson]

Okay. Time for 10 minutes of crying in the shower before the next game.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Mbye professional foul let go, laying in ruck to slow game down.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

We hold ball in scrum with every second needed.
SJ throws a forward pass.

 

[Blair]

28-16, them. Final.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Okay. Time for 10 minutes of crying in the shower before the next game.

Walsh and Lodge back next week.
But not sure it will fix the stupid!

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Fireworks when the away team won???

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Okay. Time for 10 minutes of crying in the shower before the next game.

2 more games like that and it will be replays for me.

 

[Meth]

Serious issues in our outside backs. Montoya was awful tonight. DWZ and Vailea not that much better. Berry was ok.

 

[JJ]

Dragons are a pretty terrible side… nuff said…

 

[TheDMC]

Our level of dumbness was outstanding

 

[Rich102]

What did they do in the off-season?
Nothing is better than last year.
Wonder how Mohawk is feeling.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Pretty depressing. There really doesn't look to be a lot of upside to this team. Our best player isn't back until May, and Reece Walsh isn't going to add anything to a team that can't get their defence right. The Dragons are a bog average team.

I don't think the signs have been this bad since Daryl Halligan said 'good luck for next year' in round 2 to RTS a couple of years ago.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Post match conference was with Brown and AFB.
Brown explained we wanting to play a more expansive/positive game of footy this year, just have to know when to do it.
SJ good but plenty of "work ons"
Aitkens most likely back row moving forward but young centre have plenty of "work ons"
AFB played longer as fatigue by others, you want your best out there when game on line.
Defense didn't make Dragons work.
AFB praised Curran and his efforts.
Walsh back next week won't fix the w
"work ons"

Walsh and Lodge back next week.
But not sure it will fix the stupid!

One thing Lodge (and Walsh to a lesser degree) will never fix, is stupid...

Aitken should probably play in the centres imo...

but hey, without O'Sullivan (and perhaps Gould), the culture should be great, so all is sweet
