After seeing the Socceroos train, it was time to rush back down south for the extra game to be played at Kogarah this year. Round 4 is Marvell hero week and the Dragons are Ant Man ?? The Dragons had a tough game ahead against the Warriors, Kieran Foran, the big signing over the off season is meant to kick off his 2017 season.
I missed the warm ups due to the traffic congestion under the harbour tunnel. Listening on Triple M simulcast, I found out that Foran had done his hamstring, although it would have been nice to see him. I wanted to see Roger Tuivasa Sheck (RTS) in broken field, as that guy is the Kiwi version of young Jarryd Hayne.
Enough writing, here are my fave pics of the game
