Mine too ......had a discussion recently about if we could back in time and see any band who would you see? Easy ..... The Clash. In a heart beat.
Awesome era of music

Seibold said it will be decided at training today whether Talau plays. Also, he confirmed that Sipley will be on the bench.
We're still working towards being our best: Anthony Seibold

There is no A.I. Just better computers
Sipley was good in the trials.
Will be down on game fitness so listed minutes I guess.
Will be good when Paseka goes off. 10min before halftime 30min stint
‘I know a few of their weaknesses’: Shane Flanagan puts friendships aside as Dragons desperately seek bounce back against Manly
A year with the Sea Eagles could help Shane Flanagan come up with the game plan to get the Dragons’ season back on track after a couple of heavy defeats.Shane Flanagan and Anthony Seibold will put their friendship to the side for Saturday’s crucial game in Wollongong, with the Dragons coach desperate for his side to recapture the defensive resolve they showed in round 1.
“They had a really good attack coach last year so he did a really good job with them. The bloke that came in this year – Michael Ennis – he’s done nothing,” Flanagan joked.
“They’ve always been a quality team.
“I know their strengths and I know a few of their weaknesses, but it’s very hard to input all of that information into a playing group that just has to go out and do what we do best.
“If you start to get too worried about the strengths of Manly (you can get in trouble), so we should just concentrate on ourselves this weekend.”
Flanagan said he wasn’t focusing on the opposition after back-to-back heavy defeats
“I really enjoyed my year at Manly working with some top-quality people like Daly Cherry-Evans who I’d never worked with before,” he said.
“That was great, and it’s the same here. It gives me the passion for coaching and I love working with this group here.
“I’m not talking about friends tomorrow. We’ve just got to get two competition points, and I’ll do anything to get them.”
The rival coaches will probably catch up in the sheds after the game, but Seibold says pleasantries will be parked for 80 minutes.
“I’ve got nothing but respect for ‘Flanno’ but I’ll leave the chats until after the game,” he said.”
Saturday could well prove who the real Dragons are in 2024, with the Red V opening up with an encouraging win on the Gold Coast before they slipped back into old habits by conceding 84 points in their past two losses.
“We need to play like we did in the first game. We need to save tries and defend well,” Flanagan said ahead of a showdown with a team that can score from anywhere.
“All good sides are based around their defence, and we showed in the first game that we can do that and on the back of that score points.
“The last two games, we haven’t defended well. If you don’t defend well then you don’t win football games.”
Sandanista! One of my favourite albums, very under-rated.
Joe left us way too early.
It’s Bullemor out for Sipley , Waddell stays in
That's not what I would of expected
Wrong move in my mind
Seems a strange one to me
Just have a bad feeling about tomorrow
Think we will run into a completely different dragons outfit tomorrow
Playing down at the gong flano will have them primed and the last 2 week's heavy defeats will way heavily on the dragons
They are way too heavy underdogs in the betting market and no one is giving them a chance
dragons are pretty much full strength and we are coming off a short turnaround
This for me is a 50/50 game

We will rinse ‘em. Go manly
I hope you’re right
. If we are serious about making the 8 this game should be a lock.
Hope you are right
If we want to be considered a top 8 team this is the game we can't afford to drop!!!

If we cannot beat St George then we don’t deserve to make the top 8.
We will come across much better teams that we will need to beat if we expect to threaten this competition.
Just sayin’

Yes, if we are to be considered a top 8 side we should win this one and win it comfortably. Now is the time for the likes of Tom, DCE and Brooks to be clinical and put the Dragons to bed by halftime. I would expect us to be Infront by around 16-20 points at half time. I also expect us to go on with it and no clocking off or lazy plays.
