NRL Round 4 Match Thread

The spoon is between these two this year

[Graham]

Going into this round Titans were many people's favourites for the wooden spoon.

Not sure that one win releases them from that yet.

If they can keep the sort of game going they had today then yes it'll be someone else.

If it wasn't to be Titans I'd have said Bulldogs

The winner tomorrow will condemn the other to the bottom position in the ladder with a pretty hopeless season in prospect

If it's a close game then it'll be a rat fight at the bottom of the ladder.

After tomorrow one of the two teams will have played 4 lost four giving them the worst of possible starts with the wooden spoon hanging ominously over them, if that's what spoons do.

Still it is early days. 

It'd be interesting to know what R L Winger or other Dragons (or Dogs or Titans) fans have to say.

Last week the Titans played well for 20 minutes.

In contrast the Dragons looked as if they all wanted to be somewhere else.

The Bulldogs a complete basket case too many of them seem to think any law doesnt apply to them.

Good morning  all Doggies lead 8-2 after half an hour

[Irish Saint]

Dragons offside from their goal line drop out Meaney takes the 2.  10-2 Doggies

[Irish Saint]

Half - Tine 10-2 

[Irish Saint]

Vonny stating Reynolds  absence due to failing a roadside drugs test. Doggies doing their best to remove all sponsors from their shirts.

[Irish Saint]

Looking at Sky's schedule  they appear to be showing 7 games this week. The only absentee Rabbitohs / Titans

Second half just underway

[Irish Saint]

Meaney over in corner off to bunker for possible obstruction. Try awarded 14-2 . Meaney makes it 16 with kick from sideline.

Cronk states Dragons looking totally dis-interested.

[Irish Saint]

15 minutes left.

[Irish Saint]

Is that the try of the season Peirira sadly denied after off load after off load.

Doggies go up the  end and Smith over  from Lewis kick  22-2.  Eight to go.

[Irish Saint]

Final: Doggies 22-2

[Graham]

Thanks for the updates Irish Saint. It turned out the game was too early for me!

I believe nearly all of us tipped Dragons. After what we were saying about the wooden spoon, that result doesn’t look good for Dragons.

So Josh Reynolds is in the news again. He’s been through the wringer a bit recently.

The NRL integrity unit is involved.

He strongly denies the detail of the reports.

Quote

Wests Tigers utility Josh Reynolds has set the record straight on a failed a roadside drugs test, hitting back at the report on Twitter after being pulled over in Caringbah at 1:30am on Monday morning.

The Daily Telegraph reports the 31-year-old was also driving with an expired licence and is awaiting the results of a second swab.

While Reynolds wrote that he did have a expired licence, the roadside drug test was a false positive with the second test at the Sutherland Police station which came back negative after the secondary oral fluid test.

Police have issued him with an infringement notice over the driver’s licence but he was released without charge from the station.

So the outcome is that his license was out of date and I expect he’ll get a fine for that.

So it's Dragons languishing there at the bottom, 0 from 4.

They need something or someone fresh at the club. Something not right.

Graham i wouldn't bother watching that game.Even the queen turned off and it was played on her birthday

I'm glad I missed the first half hour. In the first half the Dragons were tackled twice inside the Dogs 20.
