what did we expect?

[galea#13]

The dragons are the best team by a mile in the comp they have gun juniors who are gonna demolish teams all season by round 26 this score wont seem so bad . We have no attack against a team that can defend the only time we got near there line was from a mistake or penalty. Have a good look at the quality of teams we have beaten this year any top 4 teams ? with all there players eg. the bulldogs game. We are a good top 8 team but i dont think we can expect to compete against top 4 sides this year, maybe next year but the dragons will destroy alot more sides as they get better. i think we will do well against the roosters as they are nowhere near the dragons they beat the dragons by luck with a disallowed try but by the end of the season the dragons will be way above everybody else .

Its not a disgrace to lose to the Dragons, but by 50??

Any team that gets beat by 50 has given up, and until today the Tigers hadn't done that this season...

The Dragons are not the best team in the comp.... certainly not by a mile anyway...

I remember people talking up the Storm as a probable top 4 team when they beat us, and the next week the Storm got beaten by Souths!!!!

Dragons were great and probably the second best team in the comp. Still no excuses we were pathetic. No ideas in attack what so ever and no passion in defense. Some players really need to look at themselves.

Storm are a serious threat, so are the dragons..... the dragons have been every year, when they get an injury free run, all there guys on the field could u expect a different result.... BRING ON THE COCKS

Edit: Double post don't know what is going on with this board at the moment.

I agree the dragons should've won

but how about a penalty or a dozen for not letting our players up to play the ball

and how many dragon forward passes were there in the last twenty minutes

now c'mon

Its just one of those games. Remember this same team lost to Cowgirls 2 weeks ago. Dragons are up and down, but when they are hot they can really kill some sides.

Especially Tigers. Defn one of our nemesis teams, they always give us a hard time.

Dragons would've given 13 other sides a touch up today and the roosters would've been well beaten too, When they play like that, they are without doubt the best side in the competition, yes were bad overall, but they were simply amazing.

As for Hampstead and the play the ball, that was bad too, he really has dropped his form, origin criticism seems to have got to him.

I think some of you here have an overrated opinion of the dragons.

To put it plain and simple, that mob always lift for high intensity games, which is what today was all about.

Big crowd, a game against a team higher on the ladder, unlike a few weeks ago against the cowboys, a game in which they were expected to win handsomely but faltered.

That came after a close loss in a high quality encounter the previous week to the broncos.

I still favour the roosters to win the premiership, but that's my opinion.

i didn't expect much when our defensive backbone was ripped out with the loss of both buckets and satts.

:lol: Gaz is one of my favourite players to watch but by the end of the match I was yelling at the TV that I hope he does sign with wigan.

 

[tigershaz]

I didn't expect that score! That's for sure!! #-o

 

[tiger78]

I didn't really have too much feeling for the game. I thought we could win it but then again I didn't realise the depth that the St George team has. *Hats off to them* They did impress the hell out of me yesterday. Not to mention, I didn't watch it on tele cause I was listening to the radio.

But for some reason or another, St George always gets fired up when they play against the Tigers. Anyone else notice that ???

Its been happening for years.

I still have nightmares about the way mundine used to carve up Balmain - I sure as hell don't have many happy memories about playing saints

God I hope Gaz doesn't take Maurice's money. The comp needs as many players of his class as possible.

Now that I've settled down I feel exactly the same way.

At the time though I would have been glad not to have to see him again.

The Roosters have it all over the Dragons. The simple fact is Saints are scared of the Roosters and for good reason. We have beaten them 6 out of the last 7 times. You better pray that the Roosters aren't "on".

Cogburn,

Your Rorters will be running scared come semi time if you play the queens, if their on, they'll absolutely smash your runner's up chokers from last year.

Mate their Premier League side outplayed your pretenders, earlier this year and you only got home on the back of some dubious decisions from Steve Clark (who I note hasn't refereed since). 11-8 against what was premier league side your kidding, I hate the Queens, but I think it your Chickens that will be running scared come semi final time.
