Dragons HM:
  • Had a lot of early possession on the Sharks line...and couldn't quite convert it.. couldn't find the right pass etc... Sharks came back at us.. but as the sharks attacked our line, Rokko takes the intercept and has the pace to go 70m and score under the dot.. 6-0.
  • Had a lot of ball from here and just kept them on the backfoot.. and we were able to capitalise on that retreating defence with Burns > Harper (Ctr) > Barton (Wing) into space.. it should have been a 2on1 try under the sticks but he almost bombed it.. but.. he didn't lol.. he just got there and was able to outstretch an arm as he was tackled in the very corner.. and somehow Rokko converts from the touchline... 12-0.
  • Sharks back attacking our line after some penalties.. we rush in and generate an overlap.. but the ball lands in the hands of Barton, but hasn't got the pace to go the length.. and off the back we almost scored with a 20m pass from Rokko but it was forward and missing his winger anyway.. wasted opportunity, but still 12-0.
  • Sharks player sinbinned for a lifting tackle (wasn't too bad imo) and off the back Rokko puts his other ctr into space (Fretton) but he fumbles it with the line less than 10m away, and that's half time.
  • Still a man down in the 2nd half and off another penalty we are attacking and Rokko puts on some footwork to beat 2 or 3 players and crash over himself, 18-0.
  • 2on1 on their line and passes too late and the ball gets knocked to ground.. thankfully off the scrum (sharks still down to 12), Walker gets ctr Fretton the ball in space and he falls over.. thankfully no hand on him is able to go again and score 24-0.
  • Back to 13on13, Sharks attacking our line.. Barton again has a near intercept but only manages to get fingertips to it and the pass goes to his opposite winger who is gifted a try, 24-6.
  • Had a chance to kick 2 from in front but opted against.. Sharks go on again with a fast running forward thru the front door, 24-12.
  • Sharks starting to dominate now cutting us apart mostly through the centre, hooker somehow carries numerous players over 5m to score and its 24-18.
  • Managed to go the length in the final minute and put them into the ingoal to hang on for the win.. second win of the season keeps them in the hunt, the sinbin was a huge moment with a lot of our points thru that period, and we took a lot of intercepts... Walker is still our best player a bit rocks and diamonds in terms of his playmaking.. he's probably not a 6 longterm (but maybe he grows into it).. but the side needs someone to create in the halves so it is what it is... 24-18 victory.

Dragons SG:
  • Only catching first half ahead of Steelers games, but we were very brave early, had all the running.. couldn't convert into points though, eventually had our big 2nd rower Latapu get his hands over the line but he was tackled and ruled a double movement.
  • Unfortunately off the back the sharks started to make metres, running at a huuuuge forward of ours Fililava who wasn't fit enough to get back onside and stick with the defensive line.. burnt him and our fullback was unable to stop it from there.. 0-6. He was taken off soon after.
  • The 6 Woodger had a nice dart out of dummy half which got us on the front foot.. Saukuru our livewire fullback made plenty of metres from there.. and I thought we had the try from the 13 Ayache who's a strong dude who carried plenty over.. but the ref couldn't see it from the other-side damn it.. called it held up.. and we bombed it on the next play.
  • Defended rly well all the way till nearly half time and I'm not sure if it was ctr Pupualii's fault or the halfback inside him who didn't close the gap inside him.. but we've let their fullback go thru untouched.. shame.. 0-10 Half Time.. and onto next game.
