Analysis:
If there is any advice I can impart to you that you can use in everyday life, as well as this game, it’s to not take Nangs solo. While the Dragons have had more meat pies put across them by left side wingers than a bakery counter, they have surprisingly given up just one single try to a right side winger this far. Having said that, outside of the Melbourne Storm, the Dragons haven’t actually gone up against any team with a heavy hitting right side yet, but since Warbrick and Howarth got past them with relative ease, I’m still confident Toia and Nangs get at least one between them, so it’s probably best to combine them to be safe.
The Dragons have to be looking with misty eyes at the Manly Sea Eagles’ 2026 campaign as a surefire blueprint to success. Surely all a team must do to win is break free of their evil mean old coach who has been holding them back this whole time, in favour of a more recent ex-player at the reins and then boom, the wins start rolling in, right? Right?
You’d have to have Gwyneth Paltrow rocks in your vagina to believe that will happen here. While I would actually fucking love to see a reality where Kade Reed steps in and shows us all just how fucking underwhelming daddy’s special little halfback has been for them, the more likely scenario is that the Dragons get fucking annihilated by a Roosters outfit that is clearly planning on giving DCE the ol’ Cooper Cronk send-off this year.
But still, it’s not all bad news for St George. The Roosters have given up 3 tries at the very least to everyone so far this year and their defence against Left side CTW is equally as shit as the home team. I would only really feel good about getting on the Dragons fullback and Left side attackers, if any. Still, I’m having a roughie on Reed, because it would be really fucking funny if he scored immediately.
Most of the action here should happen through the outside backs, with some consideration to the Roosters halves and right side forwards. Feel free to fuck around with player combos for 2+ or even 3+ from the Roosters 1-5, someone is fuckin doubling up my little puntlets, I can smell it in my boner.
