C'mon dragons
That’s why I hate watching them. They have taken league to its cynical extreme under the current rules. Very effective, but boring as all hell, if you ask me.Ivan Clearly looks to have done a Moneyball thing, studied the game tapes over and over, and then built a team and method of play all designed to play a form of rugby league that the referees and current rules will give the greatest advantage to.
There's many examples of this with Penrith, from knowing when to do roll balls to everything else, but another is knowing that when the referee calls "Held!", that's your signal to immediately fall over to the ground with the ball carrier, as the referee won't ping you as they think you had started pushing in that last second before he called "Held!". Just practice and practice to not be obvious and the refs will leave you alone.
Dinosaur pure footy guts and effort coaching like Hasler and Toovey is no good anymore.
No common sense there at all. Just let them score apparently is the only thing you can now do.How bad was that penalty try call 🤦🏻♂️
This playing with heart something we just don’t doDragons playing with spirit, purpose,and a game plan. We don't. What a fuking bunch of morons our management is to not let the $$chaser go last year ,to keep spoony and let Flanagan go.
I said last week that the poor old Bunnies are probably the only team in the NRL currently playing worse than we are. Newcastle might also be up there. But really, I wouldn't back us against anybody at the moment.Dragons will pump us. Im not sure we will win again this year.
Come on mate, there are several NRLW teams we could probably beat. Once we get some players back.I said last week that the poor old Bunnies are probably the only team in the NRL currently playing worse than we are. Newcastle might also be up there. But really, I wouldn't back us against anybody at the moment.
Wish we could play boring footy like the Panthas Brookie. I find the Panthas pretty exciting to watch tbh.That’s why I hate watching them. They have taken league to its cynical extreme under the current rules. Very effective, but boring as all hell, if you ask me.
Exactly. DCE's kicking game last night was embarrassing for a half with his experience. I think when he's kicking he allows for wind no problem, but then forgets to allow for his ego.Look at the placement of that kick leading to the roosters first try. Why can DCE never land them there?
Lovin this…some real passion
