Round 22 vs Canberra

[blacksafake]

Pretty or Ugly a wins a win & they deserved it tonight. Credit to the boys for putting in 80 minutes & unsettling the Raiders & high competition on tough conditions.

I’d like to see Sloan moved over to the left if that’s where we’re going to go 80% of the time & let’s face it you need a court order to get the ball off Suli. There’s been at least a dozen times this season where tries have gone missing because he doesn’t pass.

It’s obvious that the team haven’t given up and this bullshit that Flanno has lost the dressing room is just that, bullshit, which certain people in the media drive all the time and get their jolly’s over.

They have been up to their eyeballs in every game over this tough stretch. Canberra, Roosters, Bulldogs, Cowboys and tonight. A bee’s dick away in all games and could easily have been 5-0 over that period. Couple of good signings for 2026 and we’ll be shooting up the ladder no doubt

Emre Guler has finally shown something in recent performances. Shutting me up if he continues to perform well.

How good was that win, soo many people saying (hoping) we wouldn't win another game. Proved them all wrong. Molo with another great performance on the edge, I was surprised a few people were saying he's no good even though he played 80mins on the edge v raiders a few weeks ago & played very well that game too. He was up against Hudson Young tonight & imo played better than him.

 

[Dave03]

LKT short kicking game, especially in the 1st half was soo good. The win meant a lot to the players which is great to see. Hope they get confidence out of it, especially with our next match against the gummy sharks.

 

[RedVHeartbeat]

Jack, Luch, Hamish, Mike our best in the engine room. LKT getting better tho his defense is still a worry. Liking his short kicking game, brings another set more often than not. Kyle dug in plus kicked two from the side line which were instrumental in the win. Improvement from both Guler and Gutherson.

Suli not passing or offloading is soo frustrating. He has to improve that area of his game in the off-season. Multiple raiders defenders couldn't stop him tonight leaving sloan unmarked. Just offload ffs.

I was pulling my hair out when in the last 3 min Canberra dropped the ball backward on the 5th tackle. Sloan furiously competed with the Canberra player to dive on the ball and predictably got a touch to knock it forward and give them another 6.

To his credit, he finally seems to be running the ball into the defence with a bit vigour. Not just surrendering. I wonder if the club will be tempted to keep him around after all.

I hope so Ryan, considering that we have now lost Finau

Tyrell loves the Dragons and would love to keep playing for them. We know of his shortcomings and that he has been given every possible chance to improve on them sooner rather than later. However, he has reached his later and that is why he has not as yet been re-signed and has been given the green light to find an alternative club. Subject to the Dragons confirming Finau's departure to the Raiders, we will lose another young gun with speed and a good finisher. He doesn't have the greatest aerial skills, which in this current life of the NRL, that attribute is highly desirable - Coates, Nawaqanitawase, Bostock, Lomax, Tupou etc to name a few.

We honestly need a speedy winger with aerial skills and can take the ball up with strength and tackle with venom. I guess we would only find this guy in Marvel comic books and not within the current league clubs wanting to release such a guy.

One thing I'd like to say about yesterdays game is that LKT clearly outplayed Canberra's very highly rated 5/8 about the same age as LKT.
