Round 7 Dragons vs Manly (Thur)

I’m still suspect on the both of them. Anytime they have to play out of structure they look garbage 90% of the time.

The real test will be the 2nd half of the season when teams have figured out how to defend our shape and we have to have bits of individual brilliance or play outside the structure from the halves.

What I will commend is the young forwards + JDB.

Shane Flanagan in another world has us with a 5-1 record if not for a few cockups in 1 point losses

Things are looking up 👌🏻
💯 spot on. It's like when a new rising star has a steller season in his 1st season. The real test comes in season 2 when the opposition have worked out his strengths and weaknesses. 2nd Half of the season will be a test for our new attacking structures. In saying that the structures on both sides of the park when executed correctly are top shelf

I do not think Saints will have any origin players this year.
JDB is a bit old to be considered for a recall now and has Yeo in front of him. Cameron Murray also though he's of course injured. Holmes is a chance of making the QLD team. I don't think they have many centres. Especially after the Melbourne centre dislocated his shoulder last night.

The next NSW Origin player the Dragons have is likely to be called Couchman and is likely to be next year. Though which is a toss up. Unless it's both.

Good we need all hands on deck if we are to make the finals. I recall the days when we had multiple origin reps and we lost vital games during the three game series. Reckon this alone was what finally turned me away from SOO.

Ben Hornby wasn't bad.
Master and his apprentice. You ever see Billy play live. I did, from about '70. Even tho he was reaching the end of his prime , he was still incomparable. I have also seen a lot of footage of him as a Kangaroo during his '60s peak. He was a freak, he and Johnny Raper, at steering, nah, totally controlling a side.

JDB is a veteran now so I doubt he will play origin.
The rape case derailed his career. So Holmes will be our only loss.

PS—-I have a lot “you are ignoring content by that member” but I have not done it on purpose. How do I fix that ?

That's weird. You must have done it by mistake. Click on your name in the top right corner or in the middle top if you are using a phone and you will see a section called "Ignoring". Should be able to un-ignore anyone on your ignore list.
