For the first time this year:

For the first time this year:- we played with flair.- we had almost zero errors.- didn't get dominated by the opposition fowards.- we didn't get pushed over the sideline.- our kicking game was slick..- we started to offload.- we didn't throw a foward pass.- we had quick play the balls.- the refs didn't seem to be against us.What else?....

  • We didn’t give up a lead at half time.....
  • They really played well, but in saying that nothing went right for the Dragons. But I'll take the win because not always things fall our way, sometimes we loose by a forward pass or a knock on.

    But I have to say, how bloody expensive is that stadium, $70 for the 30m line seat, $22:30 for two mid strength cans of bourbon, food expensive. Wow, I'll hate to take a whole family.
    • Fantastic win by our boys tonight.

      FINALLY we completed 90+% of our sets & were much better disciplined & didn't give the dragons repeat sets via dumb penalties & errors to fatigue us with.

      Instead, we caused the dragons to get fatigued and give us repeat sets from penalties & errors because we controlled field position and completed our sets & remained fresh enough to be able to defend against the fewer errors we made & fewer penalties that we gave away.

      That simple really.

      Look at the commentators make excuses for the dragons saying they're missing Paul Vaughn, Nightingale, and Widdop didn't play much if at all in the second half. 3 players missing is enough for the commentators to use them as an excuse for losing tonight. We still had more players missing than the dragons tonight. MANNAH, Manu Ma'au, French, Matagi, Edwards, Scott, T-Rex, Pritchard, King, & probably more.

      But on 1EyedEel, AT LEAST 16 OF OUR PLAYERS MISSED BETWEEN 1 & 2 MONTHS AND THEY SAY WE HAVEN'T FACED ANY ADVERSITY????
      • Last paragraph was supposed to say >

        When I tell everyone on 1EyedEel that we've had around 16 players who have missed from 1 to 2 months of our season and PLUS guys like Kaysa, King, Scott, Edwards, Evans, Matagi, Vave, and T-Rex have MISSED MOST OF OUR SEASON THIS YEAR & people say that's no excuse for our dismal season.

        But Fox League commentators believe it's okay to use 3 dragons players missing tonight as an excuse for losing.
        We still had more players missing than the Dragons tonight and most other clubs.

        Mannah, Ma'au, Matagi, French, Pritchard, King, T-Rex, and probably more I can't think of right now.
    • Nothing went right for the Dragons? Screw that! The way the Dragons played is the way we have been playing all year. Dropped balls, set plays not working, injuries, hight penalty count. I won't take that as an excuse for our victory in the same way we don't make excuses when we lose.
      • Exactly. I know people get frustrated with BA, but if you don’t make excuses when you lose, others can’t make excuses when you win.

      • Nothing went right for the Dragons because we played to our game plan, completed our sets and put them under pressure. That is why they kept coming up with errors.

  • Reed Mahoney has made a massive difference to the side.
    • Agreed, you could tell when he went for a spell our attack went clunky, when he came back it righted itself. He’s our man, I don’t think we need to chase Seggy.
