Probably the worst starting prop duo in the game.

Turbo one of their best players never on the field for more than 2 games.

Burbo a bench player at best.

DCE is SJ 2024.

The fact that it was this close also shows how bad dragons halves are.

God, we're going to lose to both these teams aren't we?

Luckily we’ve already beat one, and they were full strength

Your first comment reflects badly on us because their starting props are ex-wahs players haha. They do have huge middles (ie Paseka who is out) but in some sense maybe they are too big. They lack the fitness to maintain aggressive line speed for 80 minutes which was exposed against us and especially against Melbourne. Other than the two home games (v Cowboys, Raiders) where the ref was bullied into humping the away side, their pack has been soundly defeated virtually every week. Their best middles are their smallest (Brown, Bullemor).

They are almost the complement of us. We could do with some of their speedy wingers and they could probably do with one of our middles haha. Bunty for Saab? Seibold is dumb enough to go for that one.

Now give some thoughts to what the Warriors have to put up with regards travel

 

[Bay39er]

Noting that Shipley has been sent straight to the judiciary for his “hip drop” tackle is astounding

The commentators weren’t even sure that it was a hip drop (not saying they are rugby league gurus by any means)

Is this a new standard for this type of tackle?

 

[MrFrankWhite]

I had to turn the pregame off. Mick Ennis gargling Bulldog testes. Someone should call the rspca.

Too true, Bronco's and Storm would never, get a draw like that. Have the Bronco's had an away game yet?

Yup. The travel was brutal.

And they have the audacity to claim there's a conspiracy against them, the delusion is astounding.

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

70,000 expected at dogs vs bunnies tonight

 

[Canonball]

Not a bunnies fan but will be wanting them to hand the dogs their puckered arsehole tonight

Didn't he get hit in the head at the same time? If I remember correctly he got took a head knock and it looked like he was working off instinct.

Even then I didn't think the hip drop part was too bad.

Cool seeing such a big crowd for a regular season game. It will be nice if a lot of fixtures on specific days packed out the big stadiums.

A lot better than the days they'd play at the Olympic Stadium in front of 8-10k. The atmosphere on TV was terrible.

 

[Mr Drag]

Our former players doing good except for Walsh!

 

[Ref]

Burton was in front of that kick.

 

[Naynay]

Burton was in front of that kick.

I feel crazy he was clearly off side?

 

[Canonball]

that's a shit call ... sure his arm was out and he withdrew it and there was very little impedance... blah

 

[Rizzah]

Burton was in front of that kick.

Surely they have more angles to look at that. He looked at least a foot offside.

One of them just got sin binned.

Did Aitken get sin binned last week as well?

He's only just come back from injury I believe. Getting 10 minutes rest as he builds up his match fitness.
