Rd 12 V Dragons

[Bricey]

Sunday 29th May

Weekend after origin 1

Tigers should be the fresher side in key positions, as well as right across the park with some 7 or 8 dragons in line for selection and have to back up. Its on their patch.

Whats everyones opinion, can we remind them they aint the only team in town?

we have a good record against them.Hopefully they get a few niggling injuries(especially poofter marching boy)

I still believe the only way to beat the dragons is through all out attack and lots of offloads - teams that try to grind a win against them usually can't do so over the full 80 minutes and the dragons pounce once a mistake is made. I don't think any team has really thrown everything at them yet - i thought the cowboys would have chanced their arm but they tried to out muscle them instead.
Having said that we matched them at their own game in the finals last year and were unlucky to lose.

x 2.

Woods and Fifita must play this one. Draw and commit defenders and get the ball away late, create space in the line for the backs to hit the hole.

Last years game we played bad and we were still in the game with 10mins to go, then dragons ran away with it. IF we show up with good defense and no silly mistakes like the semi last year we will put on a good show.

I haven't been to Kogarah oval in years but I notice on TV that the ground has been improved. Is it worth going there? is it possible to find a decent spot to sit and watch the game nowadays or not? Anyone been there in recent times?

Just checked ticketek and there are only standing hill tickets available for this game. Unbelievable, I wanted to go but don't want to stand on the hill…....doh.

not a good ground to watch the footy from unless you are in the grandstand. if your team wins it s great gound to be a no matter where you are. if we dont nip them at the bud this time there's always september/october.
