Will the Dragons hit 40?

[rented tracksuit]

Geez, I wish had signed Molo, or any 1st grade standard front rower when we had the chance …

Or let them go.

[Lydon]

Oh...the old injury toll excuse.

Other than 2021 our injuries haven't been significantly worse than any other teams.

The Doggies are 6 - 0 and have been without Burton and Kikau for most of that period.
The panthers were missing Cleary for half of last yr yet still won the comp. Eels missing Moses etc etc. Could go on but surely u get the point.

If Wobbo is concerned about injuries, them perhaps getting rid of ur least injury prone player i.e. T May...isn't a good idea.
And perhaps when u lose 6 or 7 experienced ur replace them with anybody. well anybody other than shank Townsend.

Mate like I said I’m as frustrated with Robbo as any other supporter at the moment,but we need to also be honest with our assessment..

Losing 2 rep players to acl injuries in the one game for 4 years since 2020 is unheard of,and something that would put a lot of pressure on any roster..

Surely you can admit that through your dislike of the Coach?

I also don’t disagree with you about letting May and other big names go at the same time,that’s not acceptable in my opinion..

Fair enough, fair points...nothing against u but I'm kind of over peeps using injuries as an excuse...accountability should always come back to those who put the squad together or released players that they shouldn't have.

Sure, no denying we got many ACL injuries but some of those were not to key players i,e Egan Butcher or Brandon Smith (Watson has outplayed him and we were better off with Watto).
Sure Walker was a loss last yr but ultimately with walker or no walker we were never gonna beat the storm or the panthers last yr...they smashed us in the forwards.
When we lost Manu (In 2022 or was it 2023) in the second last regular season game our finishing position was not effected in coming 6th. Manu or no Manu, u cannot win the comp without finishing top 4.

So yeah, I'm still not prepared to blame it all on injuries..there are other factors for our lack of recent success.

[Rocky Rhodes]

$1.90.

How much did you have on? $5?

Odds about right but a bigger outlay than that. Not a big gambler at all...mostly for the fun of it.

Best win was not turning up to the game and saving $80 for a decent seat...plus $50 other expenses.

When Coach and management white flag a season, surely u can't blame the fans for doing likewise.

Yes I agree their are definetly other factors for our lack of success,just pointing out injuries also affected us during that time..

With parra winning today we will be heading into round 8 in 17th position
what a slide

Parras F/A is much worse than ours. We head into Round 8 in 16th position.

[Andrew Walker]

The exciting new is we are still 16th on for and agsinst

I make it that Roosters and Eels are now on 4 points, with our for and against better.

[Chook2]

Yes I looked at points scored wrong column
still not exactly that exciting is it

[Hawkeye]

Parra have the bye next weekend. So a loss to the Dragoons will put us dead last !

[Eggspert]

Sir - tell me one time the coach has acknowledged the fans - and said thank you. Yep I hope he has the team fired up for the Anzac Day clash.

Good point!

Without fans there is no game.

I can't remember the last time Robbo acknowledged the fans but do remember his criticism of the fans for the Lattrell booing & the rainbow jersey saga.

[BondiBob]

Geez, I wish had signed Molo, or any 1st grade standard front rower when we had the chance …

We had one Tyrell May and those idiots got rid of him as well as Sitili - Both are playing better than at the Chooks

[bondi.boy]

We can win this game...but only if we play our best footy.
High completion rate, no dumb mistakes, no high tackles, wingers to stay on their wings in defence and not allow tries to be scored outside them.
Dragons obviously believe "big is better" and "muscular and fast are essential".

Makatoa must start at prop with Whyte.

Jason Ryles believes in "too big, too strong, too fast"...obviously.

I nearly choked with excitement on my ice cream and coca cola today when I saw Eels no 11...191cm 111kg Kelma Tuilagi run over Tigers defenders out wide to score.

Maybe not, if Penrith lose to Manly by 70 then they would be last if we lose.
I think I may have doubled up on my medication.
