Gameday Dragons vs Warriors - [Round 7, 2024]

[Tonbridge(aka Swanley)]

We're looking like we're short of troops. Depth is being really tested.

Be an interesting second half.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

I just don't our bench is going to spark much, it's all on the starting team.

We need to clean up the penalties but mam it's not looking good.

 

[tyrael]

Not sure how some of you are blaming the ref. We were leading 30-1 in tackles in the oppo half and 17-0 tackles in the 20. Yet we only led by 6....

 

[Canadian_Warriors_Fan]

Don't like to pick on one particular player but TMM hasn't touched it in general play except once and got rag dolled and missed his tackles.
Not up to NRL yet

Yes he did, he had a few runs by the try line that he got caught on. Could use more speed.

 

[tajhay]

Flanagan winning this battle so far. Easily.

 

[ToiletDuck]

Needed to turn up with gritty determination and grind it out. Didn't do that. Now paying the price. This was NEVER going to be easy. They're not the same side they were the last couple of years.

 

[Leon Black]

it is a tactic and not entirely useless. With kick chasers and the tackle on the spot, we're effectively giving the opposition only a 4 tackle set starting on their try line. Whats not working with it, is giving away penalties. That's when it becomes useless

The ones that land on the 20 metre line are dog shit. Last year we found the grass, attacking kicks we don’t contest. Last time I saw this Nathan Brown held the clipboard just saying

 

[KPWarrior]

Dominated that first 15-20 mins, Drags defence held up really well, they got the confidence now, but I still think we'll rein them in.

Half time talk from Webby and we get the 2 points.

I trust in webbys oranges

Yep we are dogshit on the left and dont know what to do there in attack exceot hope for RTS to make a break.

 

[sup42]

Expect we will lock down the leaks this half, and score two or three times off patient attack.
Gonna be a close finish.

 

[PullingTeets]

I'd say AFB, Barney and Tohu have gassed themselves playing 40, there's no comming back

 

[jono_t2000]

This Warriors team is a shadow of last seasons team... regardless of results, the balance seems so out of whack.

 

[The Shah of Iran]

I think this game is showing how important it is to have at least one offensive 2nd rower, something we don’t have

To be fair Ford has the most linebreaks of all backrowers this year, but he's also had a couple of absolute clangers

 

[The Warrior Waka]

Monty always has trouble with Ravalawa. They'll keep sending him Montys way.

 

[Worried2Death]

Seriously the amount of times in the last 18 months we have not iced opportunities in the first 20 and then bailed them out of their own end with repeated penalties is staggering. We're going to need a big arse second 40 and I'm not sure we have the bench to bail us out this time around.

We're one of the best at getting upfield into red zone but lack the top teams strike weapons, thought Rooger would bring that X factor but not so far.

 

[juju]

The body language in the sheds looked bad (especially AFB)

Amateur psychologist

 

[John Nick]

Dragons absorbed some adversity early and now are using power runners and rolling on their bench. Workhorse players are great but need some variety to our side too

Just tackle the cunts

 

[BrisbaneWarrior]

This Warriors team is a shadow of last seasons team... regardless of results, the balance seems so out of whack.

I missed the Souths game, bit our attack hasn’t looked like it’s gelling all season

He did almost score twice
