I wasn't pleased to see the Dragons humbled by the Dogs today, but not totally surprised either. Our defence is very weak this year and consequently good sides are creaming us. I didn't think the Roosters were that good in demolishing us 2 weeks ago.
The attack is very promising and while I feel Benji Marshall has quite a bit to prove after his last 2 seasons, if he gets serious that attack will have enormous potential. Unfortunately, the ability to score points matters little if your forwards can't get you upfield into scoring areas or if your defence consistently leaks 20-30 points a game! This appears to be our problem currently.
I was happy to see Steve Price retained for this year as I felt he hadn't been given much of a chance with a team on the slide after winning the premiership in 2010. Unfortunately the claims about maintaining the culture established before he took over have not eventuated. The only pride in defence they are showing is pride in their ability to get set under the goalposts in a hurry so the kicker can convert! I don't think his position is solid and will be surprised if he's still coaching the team next year. Possibly he can join Ricky Stuart in looking for a job. Canberra must already be regretting that decision, they were a team that was considered to have potential! It's one thing to get thumped by Manly, but to have the Warriors put 50 on you?!! Please!

Yes, I was less pleased, though glad I didn't see it!
I'm glad I saw it! I'm you were glad you didn't see the Dragons fall to the Eels.
