Round 17 vs Eels

[Edward]

Good start but only leading 4-0 after that start is a worry.

Edit: 2 minutes later it became 8-0 kick to come which was ....... over the black dot from the sideline.

Now we lose another winger, should be back needed that 2nd try 10 zip but we have had all the ball and luck

Nice to have nothing negative to say at halftime.

First half standouts:

• Cook
• Holmes
• LKT

I know he's a lock but if they want Hamish Stewart to become jodragon40's fabled, "big-body prop", it won't take that much, will it? Though I understand they'd probably prefer him to keep his weight down and play lock.

Another random thought, I've been JDBs biggest fan for a long time. When the team was good with Widdop and Co, he was the best of the lot. When it was struggling, he was carrying the forward pack. But so far tonight Stewart and Couchman are easily outplaying him.

What happened?

Didn't look to ominous but right in the last of the warm up sprints pulled up halfway through and you could tell he was pissed, punched the ball into the ground and straight into the sheds. Hope he can get it sorted.

Well here we go, just about the best half of the season, surely we dont let this lead go. We need to come out totally switched on and nothing less.

Very difficult to treat reoccurring hammy injuries.

Beautiful start to the game, crowds been awesome. Was a bit nervous with the HIAs but managed them well and Vili came on with a vengeance. Need to keep this momentum next half and start fast again.

Good half of footy. Parramatta haven't turned up been very poor

If the coach says protect the lead at ht ill cry

 

[Justadragon]

Does anyone know what is happening with Fafita

I agree with the commentators that Parra haven't been that bad. Dragons just very good.

Surely not Jo, not after the Sharks debacle.

 

[jodragon40]

HT stats 56% possession, 85% completion rate. That will even up but the first 15 min of the 2nd half will be important.

 

[jodragon40]

The issue with Parramatta is they are doing a Dragons starting their sets in their red zone and we are squeezing the life out of them. We are avg 48m a set in possession best all year we are not missing tackles and we are completing our sets, very few errors. The early run by Cook from dummy half unsettled their defensive structures. Now 40 more minutes of the same.

 

[jodragon40]

The Eels will throw caution to the wind now. We have to stay strong and trust each other in defence

 

[jodragon40]

That was far too easy

 

[Justadragon]

Luch out, and we are struggling, cmon FFS
