Well trying to live the dream. With a ticket ordered a few weeks in advance and a chance to catch up with some mates, I decided to live the dream again. Front row southern side of the beloved Kogarah Jubilee Oval. Sitting behind the goals is great for footy ONLY if you are taking pics. The bad part is, you only get to see half of the game as that's about as far as the eyeballs (I'm talking about mine) can identify red and white vs maroon and gold. Thankfully there are HUGE screens to catch the action when the ball travels beyond the half way point.
This game is for the Dragons to go 5 in a row. All has turned around for my beloved Dragons after the first 2 rounds of the NRL 2015 competition. With the threat of rain imminent it's time to deliver some shots... Enjoy ... oh here are the stats first
St George Illawarra Dragons 12 (Eto Nabuli, Mike Cooper Tries; Gareth Widdop 2 Goals) defeated Brisbane Broncos 10 (Daniel Vidot, Sam Thaiday Tries; Anthony Milford Goal). Crowd: 13,029. Half-time: Dragons 6-4. On report: Dylan Farrell (Dragons).
