Dragons going under radar

[AusTigers]

seems that all the paper and tv talk is about benji, lote beating his old mentor. Fab four saying we can repeat 2005.
Beau ryan misquoted about smashing dragons

etc

Meanwhile not much at all is being said about the Dragons. I hope doesnt take focus off looking after our own game otherwise we could be in for a shallaking. Bennett knows how to win these big matches the best out of all the coaches in the game.

i agree, i'm not liking what i'm seeing.

all the crap in the papers should be about them, they're the fav's, but it all seems to be focused on us.

I have noticed this a bit to be honest and am starting to get a bit worried. I have been very happy and proud of the season regardless of what happens. I just hope we are not falling into a trap this week of expecting the Dragons to choke and bashing our chests about how we have a mental advantage. Geelong tried that and they got mauled by Collingwood last week. We could be in for a similar mauling if we get a bit side tracked.

Confident we will play well, but not a huge fan of talking about the opposition all week. I have not heard the Drags talk a whole lot about us.

Yeah, i'm hoping Sheensie puts them into lock down from today. I think there was a lot of chat about and interviews with our players yesterday as the media had access at the open training day. We need to go behind closed doors and focus on the week ahead now. It's game time fellas

Definetly lock down mode.Let Gareth be our only spokeman.Well spoke englismen.

I am also very worried about this media frenzy we seem to be attracting compared to the Dragons….I've read about stuff like "05 boys can do do it again.....", " Benji is the greatest player in the world" "Lui vows oscar peformance"....etc etc etc.
Makes it sound like we are the clear favourites(which we are not) - I hope it doesn't go to the players heads.

Dragons hype has been dead quiet, and they are probably loving it this way.

They are probably trying to keep Darius Boyd away from the press :slight_smile:
