This game worries me. Dragons are very strong defensively, if our passes don't stick and we keep pushing the pass, they will eat us alive. We need to be patient. On the other hand if we start like we did agasint the Roosters, they will be forced to try and play catch up. We can't let them get a big lead on us at any time.
Also 2005 is long gone, I remember not thinking we would win that game, not expecting a win and, it was a HUGE bonus when we did. This time even though we are not favourites, there is more pressure on us, with these comparisons.
I'd like to see more pressure on them, not just the favourites tag, I reckon playing the Wayne Bennet card,
i.e. This Dragons team is different, Bennets great GF record, blah blah blah, I'd like to read more about how great the Dragons are this year because of the coach etc etc…that puts more pressure than the chokers tag, chokers tag just fires them up more
And our frigging defence on the line, two of those Raiders trys were soft....who scores from a tap? If we don't fix the defence were in trouble...
Oh my precition will be Wests 26 Dragons 10 (14-10 with 10 minutes to go, Tigers score 2 lates tries to finish them off)
