sportsbarPride to fuel ANZAC Day clash
April 23rd 2008 23:57
Sydney Roosters coach Brad Fittler has warned his side to expect a fired-up Dragons side in tomorrow's NRL ANZAC Day clash at ANZ Stadium.
St George Illawarra have lost five of their opening six matches this season but Fittler says the pride of playing in the marquee match will inspire the under-siege Dragons.
“There are a lot of blokes in that side with a lot of pride,” he said.
“Everyone was pretty critical of their performance on the weekend, so there is no doubt in the world, given it is ANZAC day and the reputation of that game itself, it will make those players rise.”
Fittler says the players will need little motivation for the match with the tradition of ANZAC day and the history is represents.
