We really need to start thinking hard about these games this weekend as I'm pissed off with my efforts so far on the NRL this season as i'm sure many of you are also.

We start this weekend with the Hapless Dragons facing the fading Roosters who faded that badly that the Kinghts actually ran them down and won.

The Dragons have now lost 4 in a row to the Buldogs,Cowboys,Sharks and Raiders and things are'nt looking rosy on the surface either,no Gasnier again this week,Soward moves back into stand off and Hornby comes into half back,the Dragons have the side to take on anyone including the Roosters,their backline misses alot without Gasnier but their forward pack can if they play well match up to the Roosters side quite well,and if there is any game that if your forwards can control the tempo of a game then you have a chance to win it,it's the greatest game of all...Rugby League.

The Roosters faded so badly last week against the Knights and that is a massive worry for them,the Roosters do not score points in their second halves but are deadly in their first halves,an intresting prospect if that continuies this week,the Dragons scored points last weekend when the Bulldogs had the game won and if the Roosters don't play for the full 80 they could find an upbeat Dragons side breathing down their necks with 10mins to go in the second half,the Roosters do though have a side that have shown that they can win and against the Dragons they should have little worrys here,but once again I am not giving up on the Dragons here today and I think this game like the Knights last week has the sniff of an upset around it.

There are two sides who the Dragons have amasing records against and season after season they keep defying the odds and winning against these two teams who they have no right to beat,the teams are the Eagles and the Roosters,the Roosters win over the Dragons last season 18-4 was their first win over the Dragons in 5 matches and the Dragons have won their last two at home against the Roosters also.

Form wise and the Roosters are favs here,but with the Dragons they can get up in games when they are not meant to,they are playing that badly right now that you would have to take a shot on them to just make the game more intresting,everything points to a Roosters victory,but with the Dragons this is the knid if game they might just surprise in and i'm tipping them with the 8 point start on offer...Good Luck.
