Well they haven't been playing for him up until now, don't see why this will change anything. There might be a bit of extra spirit for while but that soon disappears after the game settles in.
Corey Norman has had a recall, Dragons are usually good for one half, you just have to stick at it and then they tend to capitulate.
They are having off field issues, which will distract some of them tomorrow night.
We cannot become complacent and need to stay focused and make sure we put them to the sword. This game needs to be our announcement to the rest of the league to not write us off.
That really bothers me too. Even when we are up by 30 + I'm still nervous as a wet fart. So use to the normal capitulation we all suffer from being a Parra fan.
I hope we rip saints a new one , win by plenty. They can then do what they want after that.
If we maintain possession and discipline, we'll lap this mob. They have feeble defence. I am much more confident about this game than the Sharks, Tigers, even the Dogs.
What odds the Dragons having a dead cat bounce Friday?
If we start with energy we should be able to ride out whatever motivational boost they get from the inevitable 'let's do for Mary' message they'll be running with. Can't let them start fast.
I remember someone in the media recently threw up the stats about the "dead cat bounce" and they reckoned it was a bit of a myth and that it happens way less than 50% of the time.
It doesn't need to be more than 50% to be a real thing. It just needs to better than the team's win rate before the coach was sacked. When a coach gets the arse the team is normally winning a lot less than half its games.
"I think if we end up with Barnett we won't re-up JDB.
i love the idea of having Barnett and Morettti, Paulo and Tuivaiti, and Williams with Hopgood as our options. By all reports and trial form Brown, and Doorey look set for first grade roles too…"
"We can't send Lomax anywhere he has to want to go on his own volition.
Hes free to negotiate with any team in the nrl that has the cap space to have him on there roster then once that's established then we step in with our release conditions with…"
"I think Braith respects Ryles as a coach and what he's doing at Parra and obviously believes Lomax did the wrong thing, listened to poor advice and brought this all upon himself and did the wrong thing to Parra"

Why do we always play teams when they have something to prove

The Dragons board are so desperate to get rid of Mary they do t want to risk an upset victory delaying the sacking by a few more weeks?!

Yeah... seem to recall Kent talking about it recently...
