They are a very big side.
If you can dominate possession like we did the first time they met, it can be a real disadvantage to them as they can tire very quickly.
But if they get a fair share of the ball they can be very hard to contain.
Weather they win or lose depends entirely on how hunt plays we contain him we win by plenty.

We just took on the raiders, who are bigger and have more impact than the dragons pack.

We also took on sharks and warriors (2 other big packs)

Our boys have been doing the job the whole season

I feel like our boys will be 100% fit with no illneses (thanks walsh u fairy) or no injuries hopefully

I really want to beat them again, it’s already sold out. We just keep bringing in the revenue for the NRLOL and still get treated like shit

This is after last nights game, you dont hear that from Bellamy talking about Canberra

“They’re a big physical side and they’ll wear you down,” Bellamy said.

Thats cause Melb can’t defend if their life depended on it. Difference between us and Melb is that we have the 2nd best defence in the game

Best thing about this game is the timing.
Sharks and Cowboys play before us, we will know if top 4 is there for the taking. Will add to nerves and excitement if Titans and Broncos can do us a favour... Not holding my breath on the donkeys without Haas though, however I think if they have mass changes the 'baby' Broncos could do better.

Uhm, Storm have conceded 38 more points than us, average that out over 19 games and that is 2 points per game.
Imo our style counters Melbourne's though.
Just gotta get that left edge attack humming and our goal kicking sorted and I'm confident we will beat them.

Dragons when they're on are a typical Flanagan side, fortunately they happen to lack the strike power he had at the Sharks. Dragons also seem to either win or get pumped, but much in between for them lol.

Agree, last time we took advantage when Eisenhuth went to centre. Getting off to a good start is crucial.

and we’re basically the wild dogs of Africa.. we’re the fittest in the comp and we’ll chase you and tire you till you can’t go anymore, then go in for the kill.

I'm not too worried about their pack at all.Kogarah holds no fears really it's just down the road from our HQ, the only slight advantage maybe is Dargons fans will presumably dominate the crowd.
Whoever runs at Hunt make his.night uncomfortable.with lots of tackling, he is generally good for a miss or two against a big mobile edge forward.

We got this game kennellers, coach and players won't be worrying too much about the other games because ours is must win regardless.

Hunt usually plays on the right. That means Kikks should run at him plenty of times.
