Dragons v Storm Round 2

[Dragon David]

While we know that the Storm games are always hard fought, we can beat them. There might be an unlikely chance that we will play against Lomax in this match even though it appears that the Eels and Storm are very close in reaching an agreement which would allow him to play for the Storm. I think by the time Round 2 comes around it might be a bit early for him to be playing for the Storm, but maybe not too far into the comp.

The game will be played at WIN Stadium on Saturday 14th March at 5.30. Go Dragons weather the Storm.

Breaking: No Agreement reached between the Eels and Storm on Lomax. However agreement reached between the Eels and Lomax enabling him to play at another club after 31.10.27 instead of 31.10.28. The Eels are willing to work with Zac and his agent to find an NRL club that wants to sign Zac in exchange for the Eels receiving appropriate value for its football program.

So it will be Dragons v Storm without Lomax definitely.

Honestly, Storm always come out fast the first few rounds. Give them the same field position as the Dogs had and they'll score plenty of tries.

Has to be a better winger or centre than anything we currently have

Sorry mate cant agree, that flog didn't realise what he had and decided to be a huge destabilising influence on the team. No thanks !!!

While Lomax might be "better" that what we have, his attitude stinks. The Dragons won't want him back after the dramas he caused us and now what he has done to the Eels. Poor Brad Arthur didn't even get to coach him and he was the one that had him over to his place for a baked dinner, cooked by Mrs Arthur to entice him to go to the Eels which we know happened.

I just wonder if Brad has a daughter and when the roll was called at school and the teacher would call out surnames - "Arthur" - a girl pops up and says "present Miss".

Sorry, I never was good at joking.

Understand completely

We could give Parra, Lawrie.

Wondering whether the hiding he got in court humbles him.

Hope we play with a bit more variety in attack, some offloads and early shift out to the edges would be nice.

Flanno will never forgive Lomax for putting his hand up to play 5/8 when Flanno had already said that was Kyle's position.

I think Lomax as a 6 would run more than twice for 17 metres.

Not to make this a thread about you know who but I think Lomax would be much better. Brad Fittler started out as a centre.

 

[RufusRex]

anyway - the backs vs the dogs were pretty under-utilised ... may have been contributed to by the narrower field or a game plan that was all around "long season get the defence right"

We will need to score more than 2 tries against the storm to get within a point of them.

 

[Dave03]

I think it was caryanis who said the game plan was to play conservatively. I assume it'll be the same against the storm and most teams.

I think we can play with a bit more freedom but still show respect to the footy. Smart offloads, shifts to edges & support play. Nothing complicated nor too risky but still has variety so oppo defences don't compress and load up like the dogs did.

We did it in our trials and looked good but hardly sighted against the dogs.
