[Bourbon Rat]

Some new names to me there - Latimore, Rein and de Belin.
Have you seen them run out yet?

YES,(Well - listened to it anyhow )
Of the three - De Belin is worth a look

[G Las D]

Yes, I looked out for deBelin today and yes he looks like a good acquisition.
I thought Dragons looked the more solid outfit of the two on the day today in the game at Newcastle,
They'd still got the beef and the big moment players

DRAGONS NAME UNCHANGED LINE-UP FOR BULLDOGS CLASH
St George Illawarra Dragons Head Coach Steve Price has named an unchanged line-up for the match against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs at ANZ Stadium, Olympic Park on Saturday night.

Price has opted to stick with the same 17-man team that secured an opening-round victory over the Newcastle Knights last week, including props Leeson Ah Mau and Jeremy Latimore who both made their respective Club debuts during the fixture.

“I was really happy to get out there on my Dragons debut and help secure victory with the boys, especially after such a tough pre-season,” said Latimore.

“It was nice to get a win first up but we aren’t getting ahead of ourselves though as we have to now back it up this weekend against the Bulldogs.

“They are a strong team who also got off to a good start last weekend so we’ll be expecting a tough clash.”

The Dragons will wear their alternative strip for the fixture as the designated away-team.

[G Las D]

Dragons didn't start playing properly until the second half by which time it was too late.
They are missing a bit of fire power.
Best of the bunch: Trent Merrin, Brett Morris, Jason Nightingale.
They'd grace anybody's team.

Jamie Soward seems a shadow of his 2011 self.

[R L Winger]

Yep Las a very slow start

Away at Cronulla this weekend.
I reckon this is a very close call.
Both teams are well matched.
Can Dragons pull off a victory away from home against a Sharks team that has pulled together more strongly this season?

Away at Cronulla this weekend.
I reckon this is a very close call.
Both teams are well matched.
Can Dragons pull off a victory away from home against a Sharks team that has pulled together more strongly this season?

The Dragons can and should win this game. If there is one team the Sharks always aim up to beat it is always the Dragons. Before the Sharks came into the comp in 1967, the Sharks area was then controlled by the Dragons.

[GezH]

YES,(Well - listened to it anyhow )
Of the three - De Belin is worth a look

De Belin reminds me of Lance Thompson, Go the Dragons

[G Las D]

I thought Dragons might just scrape a win here. The Sharks though played to their strengths and largely dictated the game. Their forwards were superb and their teamwork a pleasure to see.
Dragons backs just didn't get a look in.
Merrin is in great form. Why's he used off the bench? OK he's always effective from there but surely is in the sort of form that should deserve a starting place. I'm still keeping watch over the newcomers in the forwards. Latimore is a big unit and will have a good career. Thought he played well.

Still the day went to Cronulla who will pose any any opposition big problems in this sort of form.
