Terrible stuff for the Dragons in all honesty. Half time was the best thing that could have happened quick enough for them. Not saying we havn't been exceptional though - very one sided match thus far.

When isn’t Sezer clunky though, it’s the way he plays

Yeah really good pass selection today. He’s linking with Wighton well too.

Yeah, so much better there in attack. Not so great there in defence.

Good first half, if our hands were better we would be more up. Should have the wind in the second too.

Oh you ARE still here! I was thinking about you when Sezer made that beautiful break and pass, and then when Croker kicked that lovely goal! You must be enjoying yourself!

They are playing into a really terrible wind by the looks.

Our play is always sketchy after a bye. Good to see after a slow start we began to lift.

Second half needs to be about completing sets and nailing our kick chase. The Dragon's will certainly lift and is a team that can get on a roll. Just can't gift them possession.

Hodgo having his best game of the season by a mile. Sezer also good. If we can hold the ball here, Hodgo, Wighton and Bateman should give us enough in attack to get over line. Wighton is killing their RHS edge.

Yeah, we've been very good tonight but no doubt the Dragon's poor play has been a big contributor.

Bit worried about that wind now that you mention it. Hopefull it isn't a 17 point breeze.

He should always be there. What other NRl coaches are so unprofessional? You can't see nothing from the sideline; that's why I buy Grandstand seats.
It's a simple game; tackle, back-up, pass, hold the ball! What did I say? "Hold the bloody ball!!"

43rd min TRY RAIDERS to Bailey Simonsson in the corner, what an effort! What a pass from Croker! Croker misses the conversion from the sideline.
