Dragons Lair General Info.

Game speed, fatigue and sustainability.

In 2023 the year before Vegas, round one scoring.
Total points 282 average per game 35, average margin 8.75.
This year round one 404 points average per game 50 average margin 20.
It's continuing in round 2 so far average above 50.

The Dragons who fans say are slow and have no attack still scored 20 points against the Storm, that would of been enough to win every game in round 1 in 2023.

I'm not sure about the sustainability of players and where the game is heading at this rate.
Last year we had record numbers of injuries and even this year thru pre season it was high.
Ah Mug Fan Mug Fan great to see a man that loves his stat's. I was getting lonely 😆

But in all seriousness I did mention that there was some beautiful attacking structures that led to tries yesterday with players in motion confusing the defence, something I hadn't seen in very many years. Atkinson on two occasions at least threw beautiful passes for tries.

Nobody is talking about our 3 unanswered tries in the 1st half and had we not let that bloody Grant sneak over on the last play of the 1st half we would have been in front at oranges.

But your right the game is continuing to get faster each year , I get fatigued watching.

The thing that noone has mentioned about the proposed kick-off rule change.. is that by the try-scorers kicking off; we should limit what is happening now where teams are putting on 18 straight points with the other team not seeing the ball.. the idea is that the game stays closer the entire 80mins...

They talk about the 2025 grand final comeback not being possible if the rule changes... but ideally we dont see those big leads in the first place... not every weekend anyway...

Unfortunately we have to fight like hell to score 20 and the Storm's players score 46 quite easily. So is it a NRL problem or a Dragons problem. I would say we dont have the right players, that is quite obvious.

Criminal what PVL is doing, constant rule changes and negotiating a shocking TV deal that is dwarfed by the AFL

I genuinely think going back to the mid 2010 rules would be better for the league, more parity. Closer games and less blowouts

The idiot in charge thinks more points = more entertainment
How quickly 6 again calls are given is the most annoying thing. It seems arbitrary most of the time.
