We'd beat them both if only we didn't lose to the team coming dead last in round 26. Oh well

I thought Kyle Flanagan had a good year considering he was bought in to be a backup hooker & half. I’d go so far as to say that Ben Hunt looks better when Kyle is at 5/8.

Unless I miscounted... Across the last two games we scored 52 points in 31 consecutive minutes.

The inconsistency of these guys is really something else. If we could harness even a portion of that over 80 we'd be a very serious force to reckon with...

We will likely beat the Raiders now there is little riding on the game.

Boys all get on the piss and drunkenly watch an 18 all draw between the Knights and Phins slowly realising, 'oh fuck, we need to cancel our flights Monday and front up next week.

This is a joke by the way.

I reckon we still beat the Raiders, but there is no way a draw plays out between those other two.

Thoughts on the Dragons getting Holmes? I've seen the majority of Dragons fans in support of this move while others are a bit less enthusiastic about Holmes

For mine, it depends on $$$. I wouldn't do it for 900K+ but would be happy to shell out 700-750K for a max of 3 years. He's not going to get better but gives us another option at fullback & rep experience to help our younger players.

BTW I would rather save that money for a gun middle or game managing halfback.

Thoughts on the team & how we'll perform?

Line up:

1. Tyrell Sloan
2. Zac Lomax
3. Moses Suli
4. Max Feagai
5. Christian Tuipulotu
6. Kyle Flanagan
7. Ben Hunt
8. Francis Molo
9. Jacob Liddle
10. Jack de Belin
11. Luciano Leilua
12. Jaydn Su’A
13. Tom Eisenhuth
14. Hame Sele
15. Raymond Faitala-Mariner
16. Ryan Couchman
17. Blake Lawrie
18. Lyhkan King-Togia

I'm going to post more on this dragons reddit community because the other forums/facebook have interesting discussions which don't really make sense to me.

TBH I think we'll see a similar result to the panthers but I hope we continue to play some more off-load type footy. One out runs against the top teams don't work for us imo.

I hope Sloan gets more involved in attack because his defence is unlikely to improve much this season. I would love to see him get some early ball & create for others either through his speed or passing.

Feel free to let others know about this Dragons community on Reddit, hope we can have some great discussions!

Dragons by 4

Can you reserve seats in the 3 game member zone at win stadium. And can someone who isn’t a member sit there with someone who is ? Cheers

Congrats to Lomax, Sua, and Hunt on origin selection.

I thought Lomax had done enough to play himself out of a jersey, but he had made the cut.

I am now quite interested to see tomorrows team list.
I would guess Marschke, BMM, and Tuipolotu.

But might we see Fainu or Tamale for Lomax?
Or Fifita or Tuitavake for Sua?

Thoughts team?

Just a quick question, but I was wondering, with Zack Lomax signing with the Eels from next year onwards, is it possible that he can still not go/ change his mind? Like, I’ve heard people say there’s a cooling-down period. The way he’s playing atm, I’d hate to see him go. I know Flanno has a plan, but I would like to see Zack stay. And the way he’s playing and the direction the saints are going I’d hope he’d want to stay.

Cheers!!!

Solid effort and result last weekend, I will admit, I thought the Warriors would beat us.

Sure, closer than last year, but still beat us.

Just would love to see the gap between the best and worst performances narrow right down.

Hey guys. A mate and I are in town for the Dragons v Warriors game coming up. We're planning to go. Right now there are $60 good seats or $30 grass bank standing tickets. What do locals reckon? Any advice? Pros and Cons?

I reckon they looked flat from the kick off. Almost everyone was pretty quiet and the Dolphins were up and on.

Lomax is still putting in. Would like to see his consistency with the rest of them.

Was a flat performance I thought, very little energy and spark.

Whoever has discord this is a dragons server

So the first *big* signing by Shane Flanagan is none other than the player no other club wanted - Kyle Flanagan.

Seriously, this has to be a joke. I hope they have deducted Kyle's salary from what the Dragons are playing, Shane, because this is just a waste of money.

It's a complete waste of a Top 30 slot.

If this is what we Dragons fans have to look forward to, then I guess we better get used to finishing towards the bottom of the ladder.

Never thought much of the signing of Shane Flanagan; this reinforces that view.

I honestly hope there is a good showing.
Don't get me wrong, love to see a win, but if they can't get the W at least a solid fight would be great.

Anyone else?

I'm actually pretty happy with how Ryan handled this interview and situation.
