Wayne Bennett is sticking by his side, despite their thumping at the hands of Souths, with the only change to that side being the addition of Jason Nightingale to the interchange bench.The Dragons also announced only 1,000 general admission tickets are left for the big clash.1.

Dragons coach Wayne Bennett insists he can “sort out” his club’s tendency to struggle at the business end of the season, declaring “I’m not a choker”.

The biggest deficiency i've noticed with this dragons line up of late is at rake - Dean Young is a hard ass but really lacks the mobility and skill set of guys like MK and Kinga. IMO he gets tackled with the ball way too much for a hooker.

Fien has been thrown around a few clubs also and hasn't really settled in.

We got these guys covered if we can keep it together during broken play.

Soward will be kept busy in defence; and Hornby is overated fullstop!

Ha aha aha a bring it on (for a change)!

Bennet is the best hope the club has but that's not gonna save them this weekend.

I tell you I've not watched much league at all this year, being interstate these days but I did watch one of the Drags games on the net and I don't know how they got to be leading the comp. I assume their forwards have just been really good. But you look at them on paper and they don't exactly inspire fear.
