woow!!! 7 dragons players in total!!! i reckon if Head hadn't of gotton injured today, he would of been on the interchange bench if not on the starting line up...

speaking of today, dragons realli came home in the end!!! but seriously, that first dragons try seriously shouldnt of been awarded, he sooo dropped it...same as hornby's try...i reckon he didnt get it over the line...but ennis's try, the ref's call one, that should of been awarded!!! he so got that ball down, if if their was doubt, they should still of awarded it, casue dragons were attacking side...anyway, tigers should of won that game, they were the better team ~ not that im complaning, but dragons, the way they were playing in the first 60 minutes...

and damn gasnier is awesome!!! haha, hez as much of a freak as blacklock was when he got top tryscorer...but when his nose hit the ground after the flick pass...ouch...

didnt they say they will pick test players this time round ? did they back peddle or was it just a brushed suggestion?
does that mean rooney, kimorley, mini, fitzgibbon, ben kennedy, hindmarsh, wing, priddis and waterhouse are safe?

nah, no test players are allowed. good to see orford can show his goods, though we'll see how he gels with anasta.

I wish he gets a lengthy suspension coz Stevens didnt even make the tackle, he just came in to give him a wedgie and then ran off. Theres not much difference between that and Hoppa's fingering incident

Yeah it's weird isn't it? Stevens acts all religious and stuff off the field, and people see him as a decent guy, but then he thinks it's ok to just go and give players wedgies...

Too late. Matt Cooper (groin) and Mark Gasnier (wrist) are out of City/Country. They've brought in El Masri and Sherwin...now there's too many Bulldogs!
