Round 3 - DRAGONS vs Eels at CommBank

[jodragon40]

C

Cook first 50 at 9. Liddle last 30. Then Cook can come on if we lose a back late in the game. Or he can play last 5 or 10 at lock if we look tired.

In my view not strategically sound. Cook starts 25 - 30 min. Then Liddle plays either side of ht. 15 min stints at the best.

Don't forget its his 1st game back from a grade 3 hamstring tear if he actually is available.

If he plays the last 20 or 30 minutes, we only use one interchange.

I think Liddle should come back when he is definitely over his hamstring injury and straight into first grade,

He'll play 1st grade this week unless he has a setback.

Did you watch his ressies game last Saturday ?

I only watched the highlights. He seemed to be involved in a lot of attacking play…

Good first Half and then went back to his old habits in the second. Watch the trys the Storm scored in the second half and watch what Sloan was doing. An immense waste of talent.

How did O'Neill and LKT go?

How did O'Neill and LKT go?

I thought O'neill had a good game, it was the first time I had seen him display a few skills, looked sharp. LKT did a few nice things didn't play the second half, overall I got the impression he looked a bit flat.

If Saints show up vs Parra like they did in the 1st 60 mins vs Melb, they win and probably by double figures

I dont know mate, Parra have a pretty good spine, which really is what killed us against Melb, I think our FWD's are better. anyway lets hope you are right, but I'm not confident.

Would it make more sense starting our big fwds when everyone is fresh with the numerous set restarts causing heaps of fatigue later in the game. Like start Guler & Kerr with T. Couchman then bring on the mobile fwd trio of Sele/R.Couchman/Stewart. The increase of set restarts worry me.

The boys were well and truly going toe to toe with Melb. Cooky kick out on the full, rolled into Gutho HIA and they dropped their bundle with 20 to go. Melb being Melb, they snapped out of it quickly and the boys ran out of gas. Saints at times were terrorising Melbs right side. I’m feeling good and they will get the job done

Parra have given up 52 and 32 points so far this season, if we can’t score at least 20 it’ll be disappointing

Should be a close game here

 

[RufusRex]

we lose this game and we will be on our equal 2nd worst losing streak since the JV formed (7 losses in a row)

Against 2 very good attacking teams.
