[Old Sid]

Picking an enthusiastic performance from the boys in preparation for next week. Should be too good, too strong.

Get up, mother lickers!

It’s game day!!!

Was just reading the Dragons forum, one poster:

I recently discovered that ‘Tu’ is actually just an abbreviation.

His full name is actually ‘Setu Turnstile.’

Feel really sorry for him. He was never going to get a start with us but I wish he had gone to a stronger club that isn't an absolute train wreck. That joint is literally killing his confidence.

Banana skin game, let's hope the boys are dialed in

Morning early birds.

Game on.

Lets go!!!

I better calm down and have me greek yogurt oats and lentils, got a pile of wood to chop, at my age you have to pace yourself, I don't want to sprain a remote control finger now do I? or strain my remote chucking arm....although I don't think I have needed me hurl and splat for a while now......since 2023 for some reason....

Same old Same old girls and boys, grind, choke, kill (talking about the game now, not the family cat if we lose).

For those going to the game, would appreciate a weather update. Has the rain dissipated in Sydney?

 

[miket12]

Ford to run riot for two reasons.... not getting selected for Origin and to teach the Dragons a lesson for keeping him in NSW Cup!!!!

Warriors by 8 Janfins!!!!

 

[Po11um]

Warriors by plenty

 

[Bluecat]

I'm looking for the boys to have some fun tonight and on paper they should win easily
But the PTSD is strong in this one. I'll take Warriors 12 and under and hope I'm badly wrong.

Tonight is a chance for TMM to help cement his place with a big game and for a couple of the younger guys to do their thing against a weaker team. I hope it goes well for them

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

The only real chance the dragons have tonight is if their young pups in the forwards rise to the occasion for 80mins and that’s a big if. Not too worried about their veterans in Gutho, Holmes and Cook who have been pretty underwhelming this season.

Looking forward to seeing TSS get some more minutes tonight. He had an awesome start to the season filling in for Barney. Hoping for a well deserved debut for Kayliss as well.

Warriors 34- Dragons 8

I can also see us looking to exploit Setu Tu all night. I was super happy for him and his strong form early in the season but he is now a big liability and very error prone. I think tonight is the night we see a AKP length of the field try.

 

[Wah's Up]

The Drag queens put a great fight against the Panthers last week so I hope we are over the hype and festival atmosphere of Magic round and settle into our tradesman like approach to this game. If we do it could well be a blowout.
