What a pair, "Puff the Magic Dragon" and his nephew. Watched the Dragons smacking the Rorters bums in an Anzac Day clash bout 20yrs back. Gas and Coops our centre pairing, one of our best ever, under rated Justin Poore and Bull Bailey our bookends with skipper and 5/8 Trent Barrett calling the shots. Nathan Brown was coach.
You guys recall the game when Brown slapped Barrett across the chops on the sideline?

I said in another forum earlier this week - " Young Couchman to my old coaches eyes is playing with an injury. Unless you have played 1sts you don't know what toll the high impact contacts have on a young body. To my eye he needs to be rested for a few weeks".

Now I know there are some on this forum that have some knowledge and experience in the NRL. Can anyone of you explain why he is playing? The coach moves him out of prop position to try and protect him but it didn't work.

I think if Flanno would pick the best available team, we would be in business this year. That is no Allan, no Sloan, no Flanagan and we have a capable team.

Now to the actual 1st half, we have had little ball our completion rate is poor 75%, Warriors is 95%, our error rate is horrendous 7 - 2, our go forward is non existent, and yet through all of that we finally target the mismatch that I mentioned earlier this week between Holmes and Capewell and manage to score a try.

We should be down by 20 but its only 10. Now possession will even up in the 2nd half, if we can just hold the ball, complete our sets and target that mismatch we are still a hope of winning this one.
