Can you post on the Dragqueens forum Snow? If so, I'd love to see someone give it to them about how crap their banners looked in comparison to the massive tifo's we had!

The Barrett's a wanker chant wasn't even audible on TV. I could vaguely hear a 'x is a wanker' chant but couldn't hear who it was.
Twice though someone yelled out "You're crap Pomeroy" and I wanted to punch the guy through the TV screen. It was probably a Sharks 'fan' too. As if you'd bag your own players during a game, it's not going to make them play better FFS.

Yeah the refereeing was pretty ****e and I totally did my nut on occasions and some bloke told me to tone it down.
I can't cop a loss as much as anyone but not when we're robbed blindfolded.

DRAGONS BLOG: Paul Gallen did not score
Glen Humphries
21-Jun-2010
Two things have me scratching my head about the weekend’s footy.
Firstly, how I managed to miss making a tip in the office tipping comp for the Dogs-Titans match. That was especially frustrating, given that I would have tipped the Gold Coast but my error cost me a point.
And if I finish second by a point at the end of the season I’m not gonna be happy (but realistically, I’ll probably finish in the middle of the pack like always).
The other headscratcher is why people are claiming the Sharks were dudded after the ref denied a Paul Gallen try when the ball was on the line.
Some papers are claiming ref Tony Archer effectively ended the Sharks’ season by not awarding the try (funny, I’d have thought the Sharks being crap is what ended their season).
Even Gallen himself is insistent he scored - straight after the game he had a whinge to the sideline eye and later moaned to coach Ricky Stuart.
Those papers are idiots and, as for Gallen, well I’d say he’s telling porkies. Yes, he did plant the ball on the line - but how he got it there was against the rules.
On the TV coverage during the run of play, they showed an angle from behind (which they never showed again). That angle clearly an irrefutably shows the ball near Gallen’s midsection - short of the line - with the arm carrying it on the ground while several defenders lie on top of him.
So he’s tackled, yet somehow he then managed to get the ball past his head and onto the tryline. How did he manage that? By breaking the rules, that’s how.
It was a clear-cut double movement and, rather than whingeing about how the ref dudded them, the Sharks should think themselves lucky they got to keep possession. Had it gone to the video ref, as the Sharks and their deluded fans are claiming, the result would have been a penalty to the Dragons.
Rather than being cheated out of anything, the Sharks got an advantage. So, to all those ‘‘Gallen scored’’ people - shut up, you’re wrong.
This brouhaha over nothing only serves to distract from what was a stunningly good defensive effort from a Dragons side missing more than a few first graders as well as some players backing up from Origin.
People - especially arrogant Dragons fans - may always mock the Sharks but they played pretty well on Sunday. They threw their entire playbook at the Dragons, including some left-of-centre options that you wouldn’t expect a team to try.
Yet the Dragons handled all of them (though I’m a bit dubious about the hold-up of play late in the game to get B.Moz back into position. Really, that should have been play on). Several times the Sharks quickly flung the ball from one side of the field to the other searching for a hole but one never eventuated. The Dragons simply presented a strong defensive wall and kept the Sharks out.
They did it so well that virtually the only way the Sharks could get the ball over the line was by breaking the rules.

I am very happy with that performance. In some ways happier than our win over the Roosters. I know many on here will call me crazy but even though I loved our win over the Chooks, they didn't turn up. I am so proud we punished them for it, hell it shows our improvment and that we can fix this, but there is no greater measure that we have turned a corner than comparing the performance this week and the one against the Dragons a few weeks ago. Night and Day. Hornby said it himself, saying we had improved ten-fold. Both he and Bennett gave us props.
To see our team hang in there with the minor premiers and really put pressure on them and for them to have to be perfect in defence really is a credit to our team and I am really proud.
Sure there were mistakes, but that first try not wrapping up Morris and letting him offload was the only thing that made me mad and really every team makes mistakes.
Archer did cost us the chance at the win with the Gallen incident but overall he did a good job and he owned up to the mistake after which is good enough. It still makes me mad but for me the game was more about the performance than the result.
On a side note: I am not willing to say Poms is the centre we need or anything stupid like that but I will say that he was much better than Tautai yesterday and to me it really seems like his hand surgery may bring him back to top form. I know I would make alot of errors if my hand split open every game!! I think we need a better centre but for now, Poms is the man. His hit on Soward was awesome. I really liked how our team got in his face all game. Message to Snowden: You took it a bit literally with your elbow though...

Poms isn't the perfect player and I will admit does make defensive errors at times but other times shows great strength and really helps the defence. So being so mixed in defence he has to make up in attack a bit and in his first year or 2, he did, he made great runs with speed and strength. The last 2 years he has dropped the ball as much as he has caught it, basically making him worthless to the team. It is early to tell but if this surgery can fix the latter part, he still wont be the best centre but he will at least give us some value and is sadly the second best centre option after Collis right now. Early to say though I spose as its only been 1 game but he already looks better than Tautai.

It will come as scant consolation to a Cronulla side on the edge of finals oblivion, but competition leader St George Illawarra has praised the Sharks for lifting themselves from NRL easybeats to a competitive unit capable of mixing it with the best.
Speaking after their team's courageous but controversial 22-4 win in Sunday's local derby at Toyota Stadium, Dragons coach Wayne Bennett and skipper Ben Hornby both declared Cronulla a vastly different team to the one they beat 38-0 in Wollongong in Round 8.
"They have improved - there is no doubt about that," Bennett said.
"They defended well. I thought they made life difficult for us."
Hornby added: "They are a 10-fold better side than the side we played a couple of weeks ago."
"They controlled the ball a lot better than they have been and really asked some good questions of us."
Cronulla trailed 12-4 with 10 minutes to go when the home side was denied a possible try to Paul Gallen.
Referee Tony Archer ruled the back-rower had been held up but later admitted he erred in not referring the decision to the video referee, with Gallen appearing to place the ball on the line.
The Sharks' fightback ended there and then, the Dragons racing in two late tries to inflate the final scoreline.
Skipper Trent Barrett refused to blame the Gallen incident for the loss, rightfully pointing out his side had plenty of chances to win the match against a Saints side missing a host of frontline players.
"When you play good teams you might get four or five chances you've got to take or four or five little things that might turn it," Barrett said.
"We had a couple of cracks at them at the end of the game and came up with wrong options."
"We've got a bit better in a few areas and ground ourselves into a team that now can compete with those blokes."
"But we've got to get better on the polish and the little things and we might be able to knock a few of them off."
Coach Ricky Stuart said: "You make your own luck but I don't think we put ourselves in a position to get the rub of the green sometimes."
"I know they're a better footy team than that and that's what really ****s you."
"That was an important result for us ... an important result for our season."

The Big Boy blows up about the result of the derby.
June 21, 2010
http://letsgotothebigboy.blogspot.com/2010/06/big-boy-blows-up-about-result-of-derby.htmlAfter one of the night games earlier this year I was having a chat to Jonathon Docking and Gav Miller in the bar. This was about 3 weeks after we had been trounced by the Dragons by forty odd at that cesspit, WIN Stadium. I was there and it was one of the worst performances Ive ever seen from our boys and it hurt worse than some kind of testicular injury to see that little rat Jamie Soward running riot and prancing goals from all over the park.
I was stoked to hear that Docko was equally as disappointed and dismissive in that performance. I believe he said that something along the lines of "When I was playing, it was absolutely unforgivable to lose the derby. You just lifted for it, we hated them and would do anything to smash them". Gav Miller just nodded quietly in agreement.
Fast forward to yesterday. Bright sunny day, biggest crowd in for ages, we've had a week off and they are missing a calvalcade of troops after their insipid origin display. The dragons were ripe for the picking. Sure, they are a quality side on top of the table, but I doubt there would be a better time this year to play them.
We were willing. We tried hard. It was great to see Jamie Soward get smashed. However, we were still beaten convincingly.
Despite the effort, thats not good enough. The dragons have more money, more supporters, better players, 658 home grounds and they seem to be protected species at the moment. As an island of good in a red and white sea of filth, it is our players duty to go out there and win the derby at home. For years we fielded sub-standard teams against their juggernaut and beat them with spirit. That needs to be revived, and until it is, I will be disappointed and dismayed with any loss to St George.
I can at least take heart in the fact that we never merged, play in our area at one home ground and Jamie Soward doesnt play for us.

NRL review charges Snowden, Heighington - Ninemsn

NRL review charges Snowden, Heighington
14:03 AEST Jun 21 2010
NSW State of Origin hopefuls Kade Snowden and Chris Heighington have been charged by the NRL's match review committee with grade one offences.
Cronulla prop, Snowden was charged with making dangerous contact with St George Illawarra five-eighth Jamie Soward while he was in the act of kicking.
Snowden is likely to fight the charge because he'll miss one match whether he makes an early guilty plea or if he contests and is found guilty at the judiciary.
The tough frontrower has received heavy backing to make the Blues side for game three and will be hoping he can escape penalty and impress against Queensland bookend Matt Scott and the North Queensland Cowboys on Saturday night.
Wests Tigers secondrower Heighington has been staking his Origin claim for the past two seasons and he'll be available for Friday's clash with the Dragons if he takes the early guilty plea to a dangerous throw charge picked up against Canberra on Sunday.
Heighington has said he'll use his British passport and consider playing for England if he continues to be overlooked for his state.
