Question

Units between 1-5Dragons Minor premiership @ 5.00 (3)Nothing has changed over the off season to suggest they won&#x27;t get their 3rd straight minor premiership this season. They have retained the core of their premiership winning team from last season. The only thing that scares me is the fact that they have to go to England to play the WCC which can be a needless disruption for a team in its preseason buildup.Other bets I have placed with comments to follow:Storm to make Top 8 @ 1.72 (5)Warriors to make Top 8 @ 1.65 (3)Titans to make Top 8 @ 2.00 (2)Hayne Dally M EW (1/4 odds) winner @ 23 (0.5) (total stake 1)Cronk Dally M EW (1/4 odds) winner @ 26 (0.5) (total stake 1)Will have a look at the season wins &amp; H2h&#x27;s  when they come up

I agree Rod......&#xD;&#xA;15 clubs play one brand of football and the Dragons play another brand.....&#xD;&#xA;The 15 clubs actually play rugby leeague and the Dragons play a game of robots......&#xD;&#xA;Seriously, it is like 2 different games......They play so boring, yet no mistakes, one out, wait for the other team to make mistakes and then bang,...its as simple as that. Bennet never coached like that at the broncs......At the broncs they played with more flair cause he the players to do it.....At the dragons he is maximising the skills of what he has,,,,,&#xD;&#xA;Unless this team gets throttled by injuries, then they will win the comp again........

[/Quote]The loss of Saffy, Costigan and Smith will test the depth of their forward pack this season especially if they encounter injuries but I have confidence in Bennett&#x27;s ability to develop players to cover for it

Storm to make Top 8 @ 1.72 (5)I still can&#x27;t figure out why the Storm are not $1.50 or lower to make the top 8 this season. Sure there is a lot of turnover in their team over the offseason but looking at who they have, they have pretty much retained the majority of their core players from the past 3 seasons - Slater, Cronk and Smith all back in the 3 key positions &#x2B; their best forward in the past 2 seasons in Blair. Duffie was scoring tries for fun last season and the addition of Champion is more than adequate replacement for Inglis IMO. Bellamy also has that knack of turning average players into decent first graders

Ace77 · Answer

Slater looks like he will miss round 1 but they will still beat Manly anyway

Rostos · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;1 decent injury to any of there star 3 and they are royally F####ed.......&#xD;&#xA;They dont have the depth they did the previous 5 years.....&#xD;&#xA;Furthermore, while u never wish injuries on anyone and i am not here, I cant remember ever Slater, Smith or Crock missing any form of extended action due to injury.,....&#xD;&#xA;Just means they are due perhaps......&#xD;&#xA;BOL though

Adding another futures bet after 2 rounds

Goodwin top points scorer @ 5.00 (2)

Only 2 rounds in but it's clear the Dogs are going to have a lot of points in them this season.

Uate top try scorer @ 11.00 (1)
