Speaker 1 (00:02):
The story telling the Mad Dragon that my mother off
my side. You were four fans, certain Nutty is Duss
with pull the Dragon's Pride, with.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Shining to Tony make your Jess Mystery podcast. That's how
we drop the dragon stock mat Dragons, Bad Dragons. That's
(00:52):
the wa carrying the back dragons.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Come a dragon man's.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Up, We'll get a dragons fans and welcome to the
Mad Dragons Podcast, brought to you by a complete warehouse Solutions.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I just wanted to quickly go through our lower grades,
didn't get a chance to do it. On Sunday's show.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
I'll talk a little bit about Reserve Grade and Jersey Fleet,
but mostly I'll focus on the Junior Representative season, which
has come to a conclusion.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Well, certainly the regular season.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Has come to a conclusion and we've got finals to
come on and luckily we've got a few teams that
will be involved in finals.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
But starting with the Reserve.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Grade, it was a gritty draw that we got against
the PARAMOUNTA Reels. We lost Harley's la to another hamstring
injury five minutes into this game. I don't know that
he had a run on the on the field. I
think he maybe did his hamstring running out of the tunnel.
I'm not sure, but it was described as hamstring tightness,
(01:58):
so maybe it's not a tear, was just a bit
of a hamstring awareness that he knew it was there
and decided he didn't want to want to take the
risk by going on any further for another seventy five minutes,
so he was ruled out for.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
The remainder of that game.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
We also lost Connum on Hyphen to a concussion fifteen
minutes into the game, and then Tommy Hysen heard this
one was really sad. It was actually a bit of
a crusher tackle, didn't seem to be too much in it,
but it was his first game after having two months
on the sideline with concussion symptoms and was ruled out
(02:35):
once again with the concussion in this.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Game that was on about the half an hour mark.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
This activated the eighteenth man, but the alieenth man was
Ben Rumbles, so we lost an edge forward, we lost
a middle forward, and we lost the dummy half and
the eighteenth man was a winger center fullback, not exactly
the person that was going to help us fill the role,
so that we had lost. So it was a brave effort,
(03:04):
and the Dragons actually fought back late in this game
to get a draw, so it was it was a
brave performance from them against the Neil's side that to
start the game had more NROL Top thirty players in
their side than we did, and we lost two of
our top thirty players in that opening half an hour,
so it was a much stronger Eels team than we
(03:27):
fielded and still managed to come away with a drawl.
With everything against us, I think that the boys can
take a lot of hard out of that, and you know,
I think Willie Tonga will be very happy with the
way that the Dragons performed. Jersey Flink, I haven't had
a chance to look at this game yet, but we
did lose twenty eight to sixteen. I saw Toby rumbles
(03:47):
length of the field try that this certainly looks.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Like it was a real highlight moment for the for
the Dragons in that one.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
But going down twenty eight to sixteen hasn't been the
best to start for George Laura Dragons in that competition.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
But as I said, what I wanted to focus on
was the junior reps.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
The regular season for junior reps wrapping up coming to
a conclusion, and this is how our team's fared in
the least the Fiola Cup, the Under seventeens girls, the
Steelers finished in at night and the Dragons finished in tenth.
A very disappointing season for both sides obviously, but I
(04:27):
would say the Steelers in particular.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I look at their.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Side and I think there is enough talent in that
side to have actually given this this entire competition a shake,
but for whatever reason, they just did not put it
together as a unit all season. And yeah, I think
it's definitely a very disappointing season to see them finish
down in ninth position.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Harold Matt's the under seventeens boys.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Though the Steelers finish as the minor premiers, they'll get
the first week of finals off. If the final system
is as I expect, I think it's a top six,
so I think the top two teams get the first
week off and that should mean we play the winner
of the Newcastle Knights and the Central Coast Roosters in
the preliminary.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Final in a four nights.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
So yeah, the boys, they've had a great, great season
so far and then they're one game away from being
in a ground final, so.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Hopefully they can go on and bring home some silverware
for the club. In that the Harold matts the Dragons
in the same competition.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
They finished fifteenth of the seventeen teams in the comp
so certainly a poor season from the Saint George Dragons
in the Harold Matthews Cup. In the Tarta Gal Under
nine Teams Women's competition, the Steelers finish as the minor
premiers top of the table. They will get the first
(05:52):
week finals off and again I'm not one hundred percent
sure on how that the finals brackets work, but I
think they will take on the winner of the pen
of Panthers and Paramatta for a place in the grand final.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Similar story all the way through. The Eloris Dealer is
very good.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
The Saint George Dragons quite not so good, a tenth
of thirteen sides in the Tasha Gal Cup and in
the Under nine Teams Men's competition, the Steels they finished
the regular season in fifth.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
That they will take on.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
The Roosters in and in an elimination final. Got me
done around that easy for you to say, elimination final.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Next weekend up against the Roosters. If we win that
not an easy task if we manage to get the
victory out of the Roosters.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
We've got the unbeaten Eels waiting for us in the
preliminary final to try and get a spot in the
grand final. Again the Dragons they.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Finished fourteenth of sixteen clubs, so a good year, really
good year.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
For Ilwara and the South Coast because they're the Ilor
South Coast Dragons. They wrapped up the Andrew Johnson Laurie
Daily Cups last week, with the the Ilawa South Coast
Dragons getting the premiership in.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
The under eighteens competition.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
So overall and across the boys and men's teams at
least we finished as minor premiers in under sixteens, minor
premiers in under seventeens, the premiers in the under eighteens,
finalists in under nineteens. Well the under nineteens women's team
also minor premiers. So the Alura Steelers they're doing the
(07:30):
club route. The Allora South Coast Dragons as well last week,
so they're holding the club up. We've got a lot
of good juniors coming through those systems with final still
to come.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
So color Dragons fans.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
But where.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
That's tell tales, Agens and Junior Doni and the NV
who will deliver very best. Yelling at Je from Mad
Dragging Vodcast that she the Covernado wheel navigating Randstand rabbit
holes in the land, those being wiki and so I
