Well it’s 2019 and I hardly made a post last year. The first post in 2019 coincides with the start of the NRL season … actually it is Round 2 but who cares it is the first game for the Dragons at our home turf! Once again there has been a name change, now called Netstrata Jubilee Oval. WHATEVER!!
Get on with the game as I say, but sadly nothing to write home about. Only if the game lasted 40mins it would have been a great victory for the Dragons considering the loss of important personnel in the back row. We came out of the blocks enthusiastically and the half time break was our worst enemy. Surprisingly leading 12-6 at half time with good line speed and some creativity with the ball.
But as they say all good things must come to an end. Bennett gave the Rabbitohs a rev up and unfortunately they just out played the Dragons in almost every major facet of the game in the 2nd stanza.
Let me get the formalities out of the way so you can enjoy the pics, hopefully I have made some improvements. Still using all the same old kit
