I'd give up my right nut to see the Raiders come crashing back down to earth this week.

The only way to beat the dragons is to out bore them.......There is no other way..Play there game, 5 tackles and kick deep into the corner.........Play a boring, risk free game..........The most important thing is, if u dont score on them, dont get frustrated, thats what the Dragons rely on, for there opposition to get frustrated and bored for 65 mins then they pounce.....

You can say the Dragons are boring or whatever, it doesn't change the fact that they execute exceptionally well in almost all aspects of the game and have multiple attacking options when they need them with some genuinely good ball players around the fringes and on the wings. As well as that awesome forward pack

I'm really hoping for the premiership this year, it'd give me enough ammo to last for decades against my mates

You can go toe to toe with the Dragons playing conservative but the Dragons have exceptional fitness level, thats what other teams lack, they will eventually feel the sting and fatigue and thats when the Dragons pounce. Nothing to do with frustration.

Bennett and his conditioning coaching staff have manage this team well throughout the season, that's why the Dragons have hardly had any real big injury list.


Touch wood...

Thats the thing, u look at the players when plucked out of that team and what do they do....

Ben Breagh for NSW, did jack shit

Weyman, got bashed by QLD pack

Morris, has he even scored a try for NSW?

Cooper, dont get me started......

Boyd, played fair for QLD,

Costigan, played fair for QLD.

Beau Scott, PLEASE.........

I know the NSW team as a team struggled, but these players NEVER stood out for origin.....not like Slater, Inglis, Smith, Locky or Thurston........Watmough, Hayne, Bird etc for NSW

The team is NOT made of superstars........They just stick to the game plan and execute it...........This team doesnt care if it is 0-0 after 65 mins, they dont care, but it bothers alot of other teams, they then get frustrated and stop following there game plans......The dragons just rely on the opposition to crumble, then they pounce.............The team that wins will go out there and say, fuck it, our focus is on defence 1st and foremost........

This may well be the silliest thing you have ever said.

Silly boy

Really don't think the Raiders would've troubled the Drags if they'd got this one tonight.

Campese gone
