Yep, and that was after an "honesty" session and a pep-talk. I'd hate to think of what the score would have been if mary attempted karaoke

Get you own headline Ennis. Choke watch is now gaining momentum and the Dragqueens are coming home with a wet sail..........Love nothing better as I have a few friends who support the Red V and they have been giving it to me deluxe all year. One thing they need to learn as do the players is that the finals are played in September.............

Oh dear they are so funny. In particular the last two photos.

38-0

Not enough games left for the dragons to fall out of the 8.

No, true, but they can still finish eighth if results go the right way. Panthers play the Storm and well Storm have been rock solid and played tough the last few weeks. Broncos play Manly and I can't really see anything but a massive win there for the Qld side and Warriors play Raiders in NZ and they looked good this week. Raiders are a hit and miss side and although they did win this week against Souths it was at home and Souths have been out of sorts.
Old boys day at Newy and I guess it depends on who is in and out of both sides as to which way that game might go. Stranger things have happened; St Merge lose the others win.....

I only read the headline to this thread, but the marketing department at the dragons has brilliant foresight if they've designed a choke watch. They know their club if they designed a watch to celebrate their tendency to choke when things look good.

Dragons and Penrith will surely be the two teams bowing out in the first week, unless they somehow end up playing each other.

Well the fact that the Dragons thought they could win the whole shebang by leading for the first part of the year has been the case now for three years. The competition is over 26 weeks ( well only 25 this year) yet they persist with trying to out physical every other side early on. These days with the competition being so close it just won't work. They need to pace themselves and build over time not go hell for leather first round and onward as they have found much to their dismay. They were blessed with close to nil injuries for a great part of the season and now they are finding that it is not all rosy with the following all occurring within the last week or month:
Paul Vaughan (foot, season)
Euan Aitken (hamstring, TBC)
Jason Nightingale (elbow, grand final)
Gareth Widdop (shoulder, round 25-finals)

Their depth sucks and injuries to anyone in their top 17 means that for the most part they really don't have any standouts should they need to call up a player as a replacement.

It has also been reported that De Belin has been having on going issues getting 'motivated' and has not been himself for a while, well reportedly since Origin ended. Their fans have now come to the realisation that once again they will fall at the last hurdle as they have for three seasons. They have vented their frustration with torrents of abuse on social media and some unsavoury scenes yesterday where they roundly booed the side and even went to the extent of having one person throw a scarf at Graham as if blaming him for their woes.

They should have had the one minute silence after the game for the death of the dragons in 2018

If Maloney returns he could get the Panthers through the first week.

 

[Dingo]

Dragons are choking already. They are probably on their last gasp now.

 

[Malla]

They have the Knights this weekend up there its old boys day... Knights will put a score on them lol

 

[Howard Moon]

Nightingale's final game at Jubilee/ Lance Thompson tribute and they produce that.. by the end of the game they looked very lost.. I don't think any Dragons fans would complain if Mary had the ISP team take their place for the clash against the Knights.

 

[blueyedsamurai]

They're having a similar back end to the season that we did in 2014, we only won 5 of our last 14 games after leading the comp. Lets see if they can turn it around like we did.

 

[The DoggFather]

Dragqueens are just making up the numbers, same with Penrith.
