NSW Cup and Jersey Flegg, 2025

[jodragon40]

We're winning 22 - 6 at oranges.

 

[DragonsTragic]

Judging by the play-by-play feed on the dragons page, looks like we are well in control although let them get one back a minute from HT 22-6.

 

[DragonsTragic]

And 5 mins after the break they're in again

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Finau is also off contract, isn't he?

Yes, needs to be extended. Love to know what Flanagan has against him. Hate us fans being left in the dark over these kinds of issues.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

In total control then letting Knights score last before oranges and first after hands them back the momentum. That is what a team running second should not be doing.

 

[jodragon40]

22- 18 3 tries unanswered. Time to get back to business or this could be a very embarrassing loss

 

[TheRev]

The BarTV feed has been patchy and down for the 2nd half.. I saw a couple of the tries + the highlights, Rumble back on the right is far more comfortable.. 2 nice finishes, both off Glover a nice grubber and a long cutout ball.. hes also been pinging kicks from the sideline, not sure whos been helping him in that area, but its working.

The 2 knights tries.. 1 was literally 10secs before half time after we defended brilliantly all half.. hastings onto some young gun 2nd rower Latu or something.. was too good.. the 2nd was 5mins into the 2nd half.. us attacking their line.. dominating.. and Glover got a bit carried away i think with his huge first half.. threw a pass that ended up an 80m intercept.. but atleast we were dominating..

Just gotta get back to the process.. but were gonna have to watch on replay now, cause the feed is goneskies.

 

[TheRev]

Bluddy Votano slotting every goal from left and right touchlines.. puts them in front by 2 with 4mins left.. ffaaaarrrrkkkk.

Someone said Sele went off early to be 18th man for first grade also.. Liu didnt play today..

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Bloody live stream is down now. Finau needs to be given the pill more to utilize his greater strike ability.

 

[Mug Fan]

f*ck yeah Nick T

 

[TheRev]

holy hell weve gone in lol. rumble hatrrick. plz tell me we can hold on from here.. cant wait for the replay

 

[jodragon40]

Didn't we need that try saves the blushes one hopes of what would have been a very embarrassing loss 26 - 24 , 1 to go

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Rumble back on the right is far more comfortable.

Lucky him as same as on other edge most play went his way too while Finau who'd eat Rumble for breakfast, is largely starved. The guy must feel very frustrated.

 

[jodragon40]

We won I hope that scare gets the attention of the players and coaches and against a very ordinary Knights team currently running 11th. I hope 1sts were watching, clock off, let your guard down and you will get rolled.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

A horrible last 40 from a side 9 places and 11 pts the better of the opposition going into the game. And it is being played at their spiritual ground too, or does that no longer matter to the modern Dragons.

 

[TheRev]

Think thats 6 straight wins.. we r a good side, they are all good sides though, but I think were playing better, but obv that 2nd half wasnt great.. we need to look at that. Glover is getting rly confident as we go.. will have some more notes later when the replay is fixed.. Note that the true challenge will be end of year against the Warriors with Boyd/Martin, but thats a problem for another day!

That Votano kid, I havent seen a lot of him but stuck behind Ponga, Fletcher Sharpe, Armstrong.. but the latter is gone already so who knows.. but does seem like a good replacement for Sloane.. been linked to leaving also.

Agree watched that game in kiwiland and Boyd made our halves look very ordinary. That's a big fast Warriors team hence their 1sts are also doing very well at the moment

 

[Mug Fan]

Pulled that out of the fire, what a terrible second half.
Poor plays, poor decisions and poor coaching.
Lachy should of gone long on both those last 2 drop outs.
Sione had another poor game, I would say that's 3 weeks in a row he would have the least run metres of the back 5.
Last week it was 54m.
H Finau services from dummy half is terrible and stiffels our attack. He was left on for too long, lucky Connor was dummy-half the last set.
Although Jake handled Manuleleua better in the second half with all play going thru Hastings to him I would of swapped Ray over to right.

 

[TheRev]

has something happened to Sione, like maybe his confidence is down? He didnt seem himself last week either.. but I thought he must have requested to play on the right.. but then today he got shunted back to the left.. because I think Rumble rly struggled left..... but Ben is not rly the priority over a Top30 player... and maybe there is something in which side the opposition is kicking too or we r playing too.. Glover set up a couple of excellent (right side) tries in the 1st half, but I didnt see much of the 2nd and maybe he struggled.

 

[Dave03]

Sione carrying an injury?
