Agree... we will need to move someone on though to sign 2.. the challenge is can we find someone were happy with mid season? Probably someone that needs to be signed for 2yrs+?
You are not blaming Rava for the roosters 2nd try are you? he had a 2 on 1 over lap on him, i think from memory MarkN was playing fullback, he received the ball and had a decoy runner go through, Stewart and Buchanan both tackled the same player leaving the RobertT unmarked forcing Rava to come in and he slipped the pass to the winger to score, really well executed play, don't always be fooled that Rava is at fault all the time, when the winger gets let down by the inside defence he will always look bad and its easy to blame him and yes the first try was his fault, was too close to his inside man and the pass from Smith was excellent, cutting 2 players and hitting Young was elite, if AJohns did that we would be hearing about that for the next 3months..
Wasn't Rava's fault but Lawson and Finau are better than him and Feagai based on that game.
I don't like the idea of Cook and Liddle being on at the same time. The strength of the Dragons middle forwards is the speed, footwork and ability to play a lot of minutes. Don't need another small, fast middle forward.
Looks like he is trying to either hide behind Flanagan or isn't confident in his ability to make the tackle. No excuse. If Flanagan misses the tackle one on one, his problem. Rava has to stay on his opposing winger, as you say.
Been doing that for three bloody years. Not rocket science. STAY ON YOUR WING AND MARK YOUR OPPOSING PLAYER!!!
Only on for what 20mins, ran 100m in that time. Has to be our starting wing.
Was ok, 69m, 11 tackles. Su'a low running numbers 28m, 12 tackles.
Great start to his Dragons career. 59m, 21 tackles. The other two debutants also had positive starts.
Good for a debut.7/10. 59m,17 tackles, hit hard and often in defense alongside Ryan Couchie and despite not having a lot of room to get his ample motor revving, managed some strong carries.
Very good
If you are talking about the 2nd try, you are way wrong, to say he has to stay on his winger is wrong, if he is on his winger than there is a big gap between Rava and Buchanan, Rava has to close that gap, that try is all Buchanan's and Stewart fault, they should be communicating and either trusting one and other or do better on the slide in future, it's actually a great learning experience for these guys, where coaching staff can show them where they went wrong and how to improve it.
Can't agree. He did his job, made one mistake, was constantly trying to get into the game but was given very little room to run. Their kick and chase was good on the second half. Rumble was coming out of the corner with Rorters players all around again and again.
