Round 3 - DRAGONS vs Eels at CommBank

[Xuiz]

if we lose 3 in a row there has to be massive change in the spine, if he keeps it the same then he is cooked

1. Gutho
6. Lykhan
7. Atkinston
9. Liddle
14. Cook

As much as I’d love to see that spine, there’s more chance of pigs flying than a certain player being dropped from the matchday NRL side

Flanno has lost his mind

 

[Mug Fan]

Is JDB struggling.

 

[redv4life]

Yep. Been awful
Just quietly all their recruits have been. JBD, TDS, Brian Kelly.

TDS was good against the Broncos

Surprised seeing JDB dropped that quickly though

Yep we're not there yet.. and lets hope we win on the weekend and don't get there... but if we lost a 7th game in a row or an 8th etc.. something will give.

 

[Mailroomsgi]

Seen a bunch of parra fans buzzing that JDB is not starting

 

[Justadragon]

I think we will beat Parramatta. But if we lose three in a row, what does Flanno do then ?

Get his name engraved on the longest losing streak trophy

 

[jodragon40]

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

I understand that but Cook loses his impact

Dont know maybe they dont want to put any pressure on him coming up against his old side, one would have thought he may have wanted to prove a point.

 

[jodragon40]

Yep 100% even though Sele's stats weren't too impressive against the Storm, we definitely need more out of him otherwise a likely candidate not to be here next year.

They ran at him whilst he was on for 33 min made 34 tackles, 1 missed, had no impact as an attacker

His attacking stats were poor. The Eels are going for an attacking line up against us

 

[Morgan]

His attacking stats were poor. The Eels are going for an attacking line up against us

As bad as Kerr and Sele?

 

[George Sancti]

I am happy for Sele to absorb the early pressure, and then bring Stewart on once the early aggression has gone out of the game.

Just me they will score points ...... The problem is can we out score them ........ ?

 

[jodragon40]

He was the worst in the Eels pack by quite a way

I've said that since last year tbh, whether he stayed with us or not... if ppl arent happy with him doing long minutes anymore... hes still a wonderful bench player.. makes an impact in attack or defence, whatever you need.. same with Cook.. these r old legs, just keep their minutes down, especially over a long season.

Problem for us is we have quite a few potential bench middles like LPT and Kerr.. possibly Leilua, maybe Stewart for this year.. so maybe we just didnt need Jack as another bench middle.. will say I do wish we had 1 or 2 blokes who could do 60 or 70mins without dropping off.. most clubs have atleast 1 (KK will be ours next year) who can pick up the slack when there are injuries etc.. especially with the extended bench potentially knocking out a forward from your rotation.

My game plan would be attack CT wing up against a far quicker player in the Fox

Agree I think 2 x 20 min would see him out now. He played 50 min in game 1 against the Storm and 5 runs only 50m, last week only played 37 min 8 runs 70m.
