Rugby League NRL Round 3 - Saints v Brisbane (Away)
- Thread starter S J
- Start date
The first 25 minutes against the Titans were disheartening at best.
same old rubbish and running into the ruck compounded with first game errors.
The Dragons then showed glimpses of what they could be capable of as a team not a bunch of individuals.
Murdoch M certainly put some spark into the attack but that defence is still a big work in progress.
To beat the Broncs they are going to have to play the best parts of their Ttitans game for the full 80 minutes.
Sloan wasnt really pressured under the high ball and once when he was he muffed the run up.
The play was also predictable with the next play passing it to Ravi to do the forwards job and run the ball up.

Thought we were in it at one point.
Still - what a game next week - the two undefeated sides playing each other - Phins v Donkeys.

The Dragons were in the game for the first half.
Our defence moved up valuing field position snuffing out a lot of the Broncs attack.
Lomax finally got one of his "flick" passes away .
Our forwards had impact and there were even a few offloads in the tackle
Our backline did more than just "catch and pass".
The second half?
It was like watching a paper bag trying to hold in a soggy tu rd which burst in a big way ten minutes from the final whistle.
The start was worrying enough when they gave away a penalty inside the first 60 seconds.
Discipline went out the window and "six agains" were conceded with gay abandon.
Hunt? didnt seem like he ever looked before taking last tackle kicks and Reynolds put him to shame
Sloan? improving in attack but no better or worse than Dufty in defence and he has a long way to develop in that area of his game
Our forwards and backs are showing more life and willingness to play but more than 40 minutes was a big ask with Reynolds the major difference between the two teams and the Bunnies are also missing his sort of guidance in attack.

What was wrong with Chris Sutton
S J? You won the count 11-9 against Titans. Look at Souths last two games had quite a few rough calls knock ons called that aren’t knock ons a try off a knock on against us a try off obstruction against us, been penalised for not square at marker yet when Damien catches their markers not square we get nothing. Lost the count 9-5 last two weeks. Yes we have had three away games but we are yet to win a penalty count after these 3 games.
What was wrong with Chris Sutton
I find him to be a nit-picker
Rabbits 21 And its not the number of penalties - its when and where he gives them.
