Raiders show the way against Dragons

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on August 16, 2009 at 6:33am

The Raider's win against St George I think really showed how you need to play the Dragons - very physical and aggressive and I think it raises some questions as to whether they will be as dominant as the ladder suggests. I think what St George has done this year and what Melbourne did in prior years is play at a higher intensity for the entire season. While other teams are up and down, the Dragons have played a very physical, tough game all year and they've been consequently the better side most nights. However, I would suggest they don't have nearly as far to lift as a lot of the other teams in the competition, the Eels obviously included. With the tough style of play Anderson has got us playing, I think we're definitely a team the Dragons would be hoping to avoid!

The wins we've had over the last five weeks don't detract from the Dragons absolutely solid performances throughout the season. And they've got Wayne Bennett who's the Master of instilling self-belief into a team. That siad, I'm absolutely loving it that Parra has kicked into gear and given their recent form I'm sure we're going to see some great games in the next six weeks.

"Did you watch him play in this years final for Souths? He was owned by old man Gagai. Laurel went missing all game although he did pass the ball from dummy half a lot to the other outside backs to work it out of their end. Massive NO."
