Gameday Dragons vs Warriors - [Round 7, 2024]

[run_it_str8_again]

Well that was disappointing.

Might need to copy and paste that a few more times tonight

 

[Victor_Radley's_Scrotum]

Aight imma head out

 

[gpred]

JFH a big signing, but Dragons trumped us by signing Adam Gee.

 

[1995warriorsfan]

No bench, webby is keeping tired player on. It's not working.

 

[The Shah of Iran]

Can't fault the dragons. We need to be better. Our 2nd halves have been good this year but I think the fatigue factor will play a part

 

[Canonball]

fuck me - could have afforded a bit more swagger at the 10 - 15 mark - should've chucked it around at that point and demoralized them ... the opposite of arrogance being the turnabout

 

[Makasene]

- Cold drops
- Missed tackles
- Multiple penalties to let them out of their end
- No support runners early when on top
- Second phase lacking any purpose, just dumped out the back

About as piss poor as you can get with nothing on the bench likely to turn the tide.

Can only think the short turn around and GP has had an effect

 

[Hamish]

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

 

[ToiletDuck]

Genuine question - don't come at me.

Have we improved at all since round 1 v Sharks?

I'm not so sure...

I don't think so.

They look really slow and laboured in attack. Defence is definitely worse.

At this point I'd say we're an 8-10 sort of side, nowhere near top 4.

 

[PullingTeets]

The worst thing about this score line is that the Dragons are a trash team and they've made us look like the Titans on attack and defence.
Meh just believed the hype

 

[Leon Black]

This clunky slow side, no hope of making the 8 on last 2 weeks performances.

Those high kicks on tackle 5 are fkn useless and obviously a game plan designed by the coach.

Predictable in attack, playing conservative shit. Miss Metcalfe for his speed as we have fuck all.

 

[Boats n Hoes]

We're not handling their physicality, losing in the contact, hence we're under pressure, scrambling and giving away penalties.....not sure how we get out of this one.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

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.

 

[Makasene]

To add to my point about last weeks match

I rewated a couple of days ago. The intensity was pretty massive late in the game and into GP, more noticeable on replay than when watching in the moment.

We would be silly to think it has not had some sort of effect.

 

[The Warrior Waka]

No use having speed it we have no brains to utilise it.

Capewell is as bland as they come

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

We can come back... It's a massive fucking hill to climb.

 

[Worried2Death]

Getting carved by Hunt and they seem to have Musses everywhere like a team of Niukores, and we've got none. Even BMM looks like a rangy back rower now, how the hell did Flanno do that? It all turned on that stupid TMM penalty, we could be fucked here.

100% this is it. Well put. It has been a constant theme this year. But it almost seems like they dropped their heads knowing it was going to happen. An incredibly soft performance.

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
