ANZAC Day v Roosters

[Dragon David]

Better days are coming. Seriously, take away:

• The sin-binnings
• The try scored of an absolutely flagrant knock on.
• The try scored when their player had to be offside. Or at least if one of our players got up that fast, it would be a penalty for sure and sin-binning with this ref.
• If we had a NRL standard fullback and 2 NRL standard wingers.

Yes, agree with you Eric. There will be better days. There just have to be. In the past 3 years we have been caned by the Roosters. They know that they will get two easy comp points for Anzac Day games each year until we can become a force ourselves. We are building and I know that the Club knows the type of players we need for the future and those that can be turfed. Next year will be a year that will start our journey to better things.

I'm going to say the same I have said after the last 3 games. I was undecided about LKT or Atkinson. Atikinson seemed better but LKT was only 19. Now I'm definitely thinking LKT is better. But Atkinson deserves a couple more games to see if he and Reed can strike up a good combo. I'm not writing him off yet. Not writing him off period. It's just I think LKT has a lot of talent and with good coaching, can become a good 5/8.

No confidence at all, they need a big reset.
Did you see the Couchman boys showing pride and turning on players for mistakes.
Well done Toby Ryan Hamish and Cookie. Also Reed for trying different things, good on him.

 

[TheRev]

He caused all this mess. It's been 6 days since he was sacked, it will take a long long time to undo all the shit he done to the club.

was just sarcasm.

1m dollars a season thanks to his mate Shane. Absolute joke he is useless unless it's an origin where he gets paid 50gs to try

i think its more like 800k, possibly less for the final year.. I'm still backing him as our left ctr for next year, need to leave him there and get Egan and Feagai (or CT/Fale whoever) we have a lot to undo.. and he had so few carries today, I reckon it might be more that we didnt have the ball..

 

[dragonheart]

I really hope the Couchmen boys dont move on because many teams will come knocking.

 

[Mailroomsgi]

The real test is Newcastle at home in 2 weeks

If we can’t win that it’s hard to see when that first win comes

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Agree. Toby is too every game, tops carries, metres and is one of our top tacklers. Hamish too, tops tackle count almost every week

Toby 132 m, 43, run/tackle count. Only forward to crack 100m. Hamish 90m/42 tk. This pair have been our best all season. Luch down on past weeks. Guler, Kerr, Feagai, Atkinson for the chop.

 

[TheRev]

Yep Newcastle is the one, into Penrith> Warriors> Brisbane> Sharks.

I mean every game is winnable, penrith maybe the exception.. but we dont look like a team that can play 80mins of footy currently, Deano has to show that he can get us just to hold the ball and actually be in a game of footy.

 

[Mailroomsgi]

Tu involved the n all of our tries. Feels like every game he makes an error in our own 20z

HAS to cut that shit out

Life gets a lot easier for us if we have way more discipline. Stop the drop balls, forward passes, high tackles, late tackles, etc. stop putting ourselves under constant pressure. We continue to put our defence under immense pressure and cannot withstand It

And a new No.1, 2 and 5.

Kades new nick name Beaver. He is as busy as one.

 

[dragonheart]

Sloan really grates me, he is so half hearted. We have to get rid of him

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

That SAME BLOODY REF HAMMERING US AGAIN DID NOT HELP OUR CAUSE!!!

 

[Dragon David]

This year so far has been so unbelievable. There we were in Vegas playing the Dogs that we should have beaten, except for this refs blunder allowing the Dogs to get up. I think had we won that game, things could have been a little better but it wasn't to be and for the life of me I cannot see a win in us in the next 5 games after the bye. Knights, Panthers, Warriors, Broncos, Sharks. Ouch!!

 

[dragonheart]

How many times have we seen him scoop up a ball and take off and score.

 

[dragonheart]

We have lost many 50/50 calls this year, but when you are not fully committed and have no confidence the call will go against you. Our fault!

 

[Red T]

Grant Atkins. I hate him ! He ruined the game….

 

[jodragon40]

This Anzac Day contest has become a complete farce. Why play the game when all the Roosters are doing is playing touch and scoring at will. It is not a great spectacle. It is just a complete embarrassment on our Club and for us fans. I think that it is more for the Roosters to show off how they can manage to have a squad that is compliant with the salary cap and win games easily. It is just not an even playing field. The Roosters fans are laughing their heads off at our expense.

No more Anzac Day games from now on please. It is not a show piece anymore. It is a disaster for the Dragons while the Roosters ponder on who they can lure to the Club on mediocre money to continue their happy days for Uncle Nick. I've had this circus.

We go every year unless we travel overseas. The last 3 years we have had 60 48 and now 66 that's just shameful

Not with this group of players
