there is only one way to beat saints

[Gary Worthless]

you have to beat up the saints forwards. the knights just ran and tackled hard all game and deliberately went looking for the physical contact. saints looked flogged when they let in the two easy tries. the only other times they lose is to sharks and raiders who also have big, aggressive packs.

ps would love Jason nightingale as our fullback....wasted on the wing

[John Corey]

Exactly. But can our forwards do that for 80 minutes? I dont think so. Our guys dont know the difference between being tough and aggressive ...... and being tough and aggressive and stupid and giving away penalties. They are simply not smart enough.

This is much easier to do when the Saints have a bucketload of players out like they did yesterday.

I remember a full St George side get the stuffing kicked out of them by a very agressive and committed Cronulla side earlier on in the season and I thought at the time they just showed the rest of the comp St Georges underbelly. So by saying St George had players out is valid but not the full story.

Considering this thread is about the Dragons domination in the forwards,surely they should be able to cover for Creagh and Scott?!
Werent they the only forwards missing from their team yesterday?
Compare that to the forwards we have been missing throughout the year,its hardly an excuse!

it was a bits and pieces Drags side who didnt have the nouse to stay out of a streetfight

there are no lessons to be learned from this

[Kingbilly]

Thats what I thought, until I saw them beat Manly.
Maybe Manly tried too hard to bash them, but it didn't work in that game,

Part of me wants to see the Knights win the comp this year. It would be embarrassing for Saint Benny and put him in the position of actually sending his new team backwards.
