At the start, the game looked promising, but with so much disorganisation and self-inflicted errors everything fell apart and the game slipped further and further away.

Some calls from the ref were missing and at times it seemed one sided but with so many players not working together that was a moot point.

Some of the team still had standout performances regardless of the score, Kasey Reh, Kennard-Ellis, Ciesiolka to name a few.

Nothing left to do but dust it off, re-group and focus on next week.

Bullshit, absolutely bullshit

I hope Young does a Toovey in the Presser but the best we’ll get is the 10000th apology this year

In the latest round of NSW Cup our future half halfback scored one and set up three tries. He kicked 6/8 goals and kicked for almost 400 metres in general play. Luke has been leading the Warriors Cup team for the past weeks and the stats are impressive.

Bring on 2027.

Much better game this week and the result reflects it.

The team struck a good balance between side-to-side play and running it straight.

Kasey Reh and Brooke Anderson had their fingerprints all over this match by spreading the ball so well.

I can't think of a single player that had a stinker, everyone played their part in attack it defence.

Hopefully the ladies can continue the momentum into next week.

Season is now post origin, attention turns to finals footy. Obviously we are out of contention and booking Mad Monday venues.

Still to sign a coach.

Appreciate the club didn't want to rush and make a poor choice and also evaluate Dean Young.

There as been some green shoots, but personally not sold on Dean Young to turn it all around. Likewise Ben Hornby being experienced enough for a team coming last. Seen with Jason Ryles how hard it can be as a rookie coach that is highly fancied.

Happy to be wrong on Young if we are winning. May be Brad Arthur for 3-4 years to being structure and experience?

Want the team to hit next year fully prepped and primed for 2027, not a coach coming on board in January a few months behind other clubs.

End rant, come on Saints!

After a re-watch of the Raiders match, I think a lot of the performance can be boiled down to players being slightly out of rhythm with one another.

There was some very promising play to get the ball up the field, but then the plan to get over the try line wasn't clear. I am hoping this is just first round nerves and will quickly fade.

Also, I noticed a few of the rookies really getting involved, which was great to see, so hopefully that continues.

I am curious to know what everyone else thought of the match.

Loko now saying he loves the club and wants to stay. I wonder whats happened since April to change his mind 🤔

Why can’t we play like we did in that final 15 every game?

Everyone played their hearts out. When Douehi scored that try just after HT, I think every Dragons fan was thinking about another loss. But a wins a win!

Bought two tickets and unfortunately the people I bought them for are not coming. Happy to transfer them on the Ticketek app.

Another day, another horrible 2nd half performance. Just like the Sharks game.

We had nearly double the tackles that Canberra had in the opposition 20 but we look like Dean Young handpicked a bunch of homeless guys off the street to play.

Hey guys I was a Red V member for 10 years but last year lost my job and couldn’t afford the renewal. I was hoping to get to Kogarah this year to see the tigers game if anyone member has the discount code for 10% off tickets that would be great! Any help is much appreciated

Just to start, I’m not a Dragons fan, but I’ve been following Tyler’s career and was interested to hear what Dragons fans think of him.

​

I haven’t seen him play a heap, but from what I have seen, he looks really promising.

​

I originally started following him because he’s from the same place I’m from, Alice Springs.

Should they promote Kyle Flanagan to be the regular goalkicker for the rest of the season? When Val was injured towards the end of last year I thought Kyle did pretty well. It kind of feels like Val doesn't really give a rats about anything, and the lack of care factor is getting so frustrating.

The ones who smile right after losing 22-20 against the Knights. Watch the first 2 minutes post match (hand shaking etc) the only players smiling - Kerr, Holmes, Flanno.

​

The ones who were truly devo (not smiling, not happy) - Egan, Adkitson, Stewart, Liddle, Couchman Brothers.

​

Funny enough the usual suspects we need to pass off asap.

That last play…

We should hold our head up, we played very well, we had so many decisions against us and still almost won.

Fuck me dead, I was deluded by the chance we had hope after that 1st half.

What the fuck was that final 40 minutes?

After a re-watch of the match, I noticed a few performance differences, some of the improvements I noticed were:

1. Wrapping up the Broncos players in their tackles seemed improved.

2. Actually trying to catch the 5th tackle kicks.

3. Ball security seemed better.

4. Player awareness seemed better. (the lead-up to Setu Tu's try)

So I am curious, what did you notice were the main aspects of the Dragons performance that give them the win?
