How the Dragons swerved a grand final hangover ahead of the blockbuster NRLW rematch

How a team reacts to a grand final defeat can either define or destroy them, but the Dragons have avoided the hangover as they prepare for a rematch with the Roosters.

Roosters get the Ref calls in the WNRL also

No salary cap in women's game either.
Roosters 1,3,4,6,7.
Dragons are slow.
Six tackles in 2nd half they went right when the chooks had 3 or 4 defenders on the left.
No smarts in this club at all.

bad luck girls, good 1st half but that is where the bar is set now, they are the team to beat.

I think Bar #6 we had all those players at one stage..

The Roosters will be wanting to dominate in the womens' league just like they have been in the mens. The Roosters women will win the grand final again this year is my prediction.

Totally agree. I think their team is run along the line of the mens - professionalism. They don’t do things half arsed at the chooks and have everything in place for the players, and I don’t mean just on the footy side.

[Number of the Beath]

The Friendly Jordies lookalike with the whistle was just looking for an excuse to give Brisbane a pen and they score off the ensuing set after Saints looking good earlier on. Brisbane can't kick. 0-4

 

[Number of the Beath]

Pretty ordinary effort so far - doing nothing with the ball and their defensive line is Swiss-cheese like.
Must have been training with the blokes.

 

[AyiosYiorgos]

i think we got ourselves into the game and in front in the last 10 or so minutes, if we can keep that momentum in the 2nd half we should come away with the 2 points.
Elsie Albert has been disappointing this season, she is too slow around the ruck in defence, i think as the girls are getting better they can handle her now, the game has improved since the 1st season even from the last season, Bent as well has been disappointing this season.

 

[Number of the Beath]

After the fightback at the end of the first half they needed a strong start in the second but instead are putting themselves under pressure with poor handling.

[AyiosYiorgos]

Too many mistakes and not keeping any pressure on the Bronx, hopefully we don't collapse like last week, our left side defence is atrocious today, Zali Hopkins the main culprit.

 

[jeffdragon]

Surprised they are leading.
Forward pass and errors by Apps and bad reads in defence by the outside backs
Lucky to get out of this one if we do.
Sowie must be pissed off.

 

[AyiosYiorgos]

Shocking kick by Zali gave them 7 tackles and BOOM try time
