Round 20: Dragons vs Bulldogs

[Edward]

They are very beatable though they are better without Galvin in the team. Phil Gould masterstroke that one. Molo and Finau have surely gained themselves another week in first grade. It'd be nice if Toby Couchman can replace Gular or Lawrie. That would be a team I think can beat Bulldogs.

What is going on with Toby? Is he out for the season? I hope he is available and I hope Flanno picks Nick T in the 17 to come on or start in the forwards.

 

[Dave03]

Luch might be out. Had a deep laceration. I think we need one of fifita or lpt on the bench. They provide try scoring opportunities with pure size and power which we lacked v roosters.

 

[Dave03]

Would love to beat em, I can't remember the last time we played at Accor. Maybe 40k crowd? Would've pushing 60k if we were winning imo.

 

[Dragon David]

We need 80 minutes of high unrelenting intensity footy from our guys against the Dogs. Being able to withstand their attack with sustained up in your face defence and an all guns blaring attack against their defence will need to be employed. Bloody hell sounds like one of Steven Spielbergs wartime movies.

 

[Dave03]

Maybe a few offloads & our attack looks dangerous when we run from dummy half, cook had a few nice runs against the chooks.

 

[Justadragon]

Lawrie and Guler should never see another 1st grade game again.

 

[redv13]

Guler I can live with but Lawrie is beyond done.
Lawrie v the roosters:
26 min, 6 runs 56m, 21 pcm, 17 tackles 6 missed. I’m sorry but the game has passed him and he’s just a liability. If he plays vs the dogs, they’re smaller up tempo forwards will absolutely destroy him defensively. Lawrie out, LPT in. If Stewart/Luciano are no good then Nick T onto the bench

For the past year, those stats aren't even that bad for him.

 

[Mug Fan]

Luch, Hamish and Klem all trained, BMM was in the mix too.

 

[TheRev]

good to have those blokes as options.. Hamish was the one I was most worried about.. Klem too..

Think I prefer Luciano as the impact middle from the bench.. but I spose BMM is an option.. very short minutes, but def makes impact..

Well let’s hope that Klemmer, Leilua and Stewart are all good to go by Saturday. Lawrie: FMD. Can only hope and pray that LPT and Tsougranis are late additions to the game day side

 

[Dave03]

Hope LPT for Lawrie as a late change & Molo for Luch.

 

[Justadragon]

FMD Lawrie and Guler, that says it all. bring on the hidings !!!

Allan & Feagai lurking in the background.
The tortoise & the turtle. We need speed to have any hope of capitalising on any few half chances

Sloan & Holmes are quick, I think we should kick early for Sloan to utilise his speed. Suli had a few opportunities to get an offload away to an unmarked Sloan but didn't go through with it. I'd encourage him to offload more, even if it leads to errors. He does the hard stuff by breaking through tackles but doesn't offload enough. That would be a 'positive' error imo, one I would understand. I hope that right side gets the communication correct because their defence to start the game was poor against the chooks.

Homes Sloan and Finau are in the 17.
We have reached a new low, complaining about players that aren't in the 17 that we don't want selected in the 17.

So in essence you have complain about Flanno not picking players you didn't want in the team.
