Why Dragons are better than the Dogs?

[giant]

I must agree. Their backrow is over ours besides Stagg. I wouldn't swap Stagg for any other backrower/lock in the comp.

Ben Creagh>>>>>>>>>>Andrew Ryan
Jeremy Smith/Neville Costigan>>>>>>>>>>>>>Waburton

Stagg>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The world.

They also have unbelievable depth.

They lose Jeremy Smith(A Kiwi International, they put in Neville Costigan(A QLD Player)

Where as when we lose David Stag, we replace him with Daniel Holdsworth.

best post today and w bennet too

Here are some stats that have the Dragons on top:
+ Most milked penalties in 2009.
+ Least penalised side due to NRL favoritism in 2009.
+ Commonly overlooked offside/infringements in tackling in 2009.
+ Anything goes mentality, as biting in a Red and White jersey = overlooked.
+ Soward's GODLIKE status. So much as fart near him and you get sent off.
+ Most favoured side with Video Ref calls.

If the Dragons got the same treatment every other NRL side have, they wouldn't be top position.

lmao haha so true.

 

[Mr Invisible]

They also have unbelievable depth.

and an unlimited salary cap!

It's true no one remembers the minor premiers, but everyone will remember Dragons getting their arse handed to them twice in a row during the finals and being knocked out

The dogs should be on top of the table. WE deserve to be leading the competition. Its easy to get caught up in the most recent loss, a convincing loss to Parramatta, but other than that our only losses all year have been 1) A loss to the 3rd place Titans away from home (where they are undefeated, and the dragons have also been beaten at) by 8, an incorrect loss to the Dragons AWAY from home (a match essentially worth 4 competition points because they got the 2 points INSTEAD of us), a match at Newcastle (after we were denied a clear try, and they were awarded one 2 minutes later, which would have changed the result IMO), and finially a loss to Manly at Brookvale (If Hazem GETS the sideline kick to give us a 7 point buffer WE WIN. If Orford misses sideline conversion to give them the lead with 6 minutes to go WE WIN) and lets not forget the 2 points that were pinched off us against Penrith.

So in the big picture, in 21 rounds, we have only had one bad loss. If Nadal gets beaten by soderling at the French Open does that mean he all of a sudden has a whole bunch of problems with his game that makes Federer the better player? Are we going to bring up a bunch of stats about Nadal that show Federer has been better all along?

The dogs have got all bases covered. The best centre pairing in the comp, the best halves pairing (IMO), the best hooker (IMO), a winger that is scoring tries like they are going out of fashion, the best goal kicker in the world, a great fullback, a great backrow, BEN HANNANT, and some very handy hard workers. Add this with great team comraderee, a great coach and a great attitude towards our approach to the game both on and off the feild and you have a premiership winning reciepe right there.

Well said Taylor believe it or not LOL.

Dragons IMO only better due to the systems in place at the NRL.

The Bennett Fairytale is too good to be true.

Agreed. I wander what team David Gallop supports? lol

 

[B-Train]

They are quite a bit better at the moment and the main thing is their defence and consistency in that area across 80 minutes each week.

Our defence is nowhere near as strong as theirs and the way they slow down the play the ball, communicate and work together to hold teams out set after set is amazing.

 

[K E]

Those cocksucking sons of $2 whores (Except Brett Morris) deserve to be favourites IMO.

They cope well with pressure anyway. Dogs can't win sht. No one likes the Dogs.

 

[K E]

Plus they have Neville Costigan who is jammed packed with aggression. He is the most intimidating guy in the NRL.

watch the bench tremble in fear as this monster is unleashed from the mighty bench. Fell my wrath as my hype engulfs you! Muhahahaha!

PS: Congratulations to Catrius Boyd for getting his first try this season. He has a whopping ONE try in 20 games. Brilliant, brilliant strike rate. Snappy Tom for dinner tonight!

Mate, you're so far off the mark it's not funny.

+ Give me two examples of milked penalties.
+ It's the same with every team
+ Have you ever had someone stick their forearm in your mouth?
+ Soward has not got "GODLIKE status". He's simply being praised on his great form
+ Come off it. We've had plenty of tries disallowed.

Do you read the paper, listen to the radio or watch games? This year has been a massive Bulldogs wank-fest. Not so much in the last few rounds, Manly has taken over as the media's fav.

Merged club. No premierships. Accept it.

Mate you've got the best team in the comp at the moment, I wouldn't bother.

It should be an exciting finals series for you.

 

[bLaQDoG..]

LOL@Carlton.

A hopeless AFL club, a beer that tastes like piss, and a train station fit for junkies.

Keep them coming mate.

My name has nothing to do with the AFL club, the beer or the train station. It's the suburb.

Yes, and the train station is located in your suburb

In all honesty though. Dragons are doing really well this year. I'm going to take the piss out of you guys if you choke come this finals series though

LOL why bother arguing on a Bulldogs forum you are going to get slammed.

Your replies to the comments were weak at best.

Just go and enjoy your teams success
