Round 13 v Broncos Sunday.

[Justadragon]

What an awful last 10 minutes, gutho is so important to our defence

100%, lets hope Drinkwater can take those reigns, Sloan is useless at it.

HOW GOOD IS A BLOODY WIN

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

WE showed a big chunk of that Dragons spirit of old today. For 65 mins anyway.

HOW GOOD IS A BLOODY WIN

I just bought another beer in Caxton Street Pub on the way home. Its the best beer I could buy today and it wasn't a bloody XXXX

 

[RufusRex]

The minutes he got last week and now no game time would indicate he is not in our plans moving forward.

I mean it makes sense - but Guler/Cake aren't either are they?

 

[jodragon40]

WE showed a big hunk of that old Dragons spirit today.

The boys got very tired in the last 10 the Donkey's had most of the ball but we were well led today by Gutho, Cook and Holmes

 

[jodragon40]

f*cking hell, buzzing with the win and then Young HC permanently starts getting thrown around

Good for the young guys to get a win though, they look thrilled

They were I just finished sitting back down applauding them when they came over. Priceless the look on some of those young forwards faces

 

[RufusRex]

If Luc is not in our plans we need to find another edge forward either Nick the Greek or an import. Ryan is a very good middle forward but his carries/tackles are way better than his distribution before the line.

 

[Mailroomsgi]

Stewart on an edge is way better than throwing one of the couchmans there, he’s way more mobile laterally and has a bit of 2nd phase + good hand eye coordination. A fancy way of saying I think he’s more skilled and has traits which suit playing on an edge better than the couchmans

That being said, I think their all better in the middle,

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Toby 215m/38t. Another monstrous game by him..

 

[GCRV]

I remembered what it's like to be happy but nervous in the last 10.

 

[Eric]

The minutes he got last week and now no game time would indicate he is not in our plans moving forward.

Well, I guess he's paying the price for being bad the last 2 years. But I think he's easily in the best 17 this year.

 

[Tex mex]

Oh when the…..

 

[Eric]

Toby 215m/38t. Another monstrous game by him..

Offloads as well.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

If Luc is not in our plans

Tim Watsford indicated he was. Perhaps a niggle ruled him out today as I cant believe Dean Young'd play Guler and Kerr ahead of him. He was averaging DOUBLE what the current edgies are.

 

[jodragon40]

Toby 215m/38t. Another monstrous game by him..

Toby 20 runs, 215m, 90m.post contact, 2 offloads, 2 tackle busts, 36 tackles, second only to the competition best prop Haas who walks back into the Blues team after 23 runs 281m, 91m post contact, 7 tackle busts, 1 line breaks 1 off load. Couchman would not look out of place in the Blues squad in years to come

He's getting better and better in the backrow. Maybe that's how they plan to fit LPT, KK, Hutchinson, Couchmans and Stewart in the best 17 next year. Too many middles and no obvious partner for Egan.

 

[jodragon40]

I had a beer in each hand

 

[RufusRex]

He better be as Watsford indicated he was. Perhaps a niggle ruled him out as I cant believe Young'd play Guler and Kerr ahead of him.

If Guler/Kerr/Lawrie are on the bench i am ok for two of the three to rotate on .. but our attacking shape was pretty poor all game, a lot of tries coming off the back of kicks/luck rather than constructed tries.

Luc not playing did hurt our attacking shape and potency ... if not him then we need another.

He's getting better and better in the backrow. Maybe that's how they plan to fit LPT, KK, Hutchinson, Couchmans and Stewart in the best 17 next year. Too many middles and no obvious partner for Egan.

It is more about effective lock than effective Edge. Stewart is a good target in the air and does run the ball well ... Just think he is a lot better in 13 and lose one of Kerr/Guler/Lawrie from the middle and maybe share the couch workload a little more
