Dragons performance

The saddest part is that we are at full strength and still lost to the dragon who have injuries. I think Sivo has always been a bit overrated. 95% of his tries are served up on a platter for him to walk over. It's michael Jennings or gutho who does all the work for him. We are better off with a winger who can actually defend, is knowledgeable about the game and has a better work ethic. Blake and fergo needs to learn how to read plays in defence and play together as well as actually tackling people instead of arm grabbing. Moses and Brown need to have their hands on the ball more often especially inside the 20m cause it's too much one out shit. Plus our shape needs to be revamped. Surely with Johns mentoring our halves, we can make our attack better otherwise I dont see the point of having him. We score points and then play such boring footy. Moses really struggles to provide in big game moments and is no where near the level of Munster, Cleary and Keary. Our fowards and Gutho are the only reason we are third on the ladder this season. 

In regards to the actual game. The first try could of been defended if people actually marked the players around the ball and the second try if Sivo knew how to defend. Also our attack is so bad. Gutho try was nice, but Fuimaino just stopped trying which opened the space of Blake. Evans try was just soft. The funny thing is that whenever we have looked good in attack we somehow manage to bomb the try. E.g Dyaln Brown never passed when there was a 3 v 1 from junior paulo's offload. When Dylan Brown intercepted Jenko decided to ponder from dummy half instead of taking advtange of a scrambling defense. We also had another massive chance cause an overlapp but Lane ran a horrible line means Dylan Brown threw a lofted ball to Sivo which by then was too late.
