    Losing more of our young guns.

    Canberra has pulled off a shock attack on St George Illawarra, pinching five of the best up-and-coming players from the Dragons' ranks. In an audacious move, the Raiders have lived up to their name by snaring five rising stars in a move that has infuriated the Dragons. The five 18-year-olds were...

    Bloke in a Bar podcast. Dragon hate.

    In recent seasons I have become more and more disappointed by how little air time and positivity the Dragons receive in pre match and post match discussions. Tom from Bloke in the Bar podcast on you tube went one step further this week when analysing the Dragons versus Penrith up coming game...

    Josh Hodgson

    The Tigers are chasing Josh Hodgson and they expect Canberra to heavily subsidise his salary. Since we have set a pattern of signing unwanted players whose salaries are subsidised by other clubs, should we chase Josh Hodgson? Just a couple of years ago he was considered by many to be the 2nd...

    Joseph Leilua

    Joseph Leilua Two time Dally M award winner. Did not get along with Madge. Only played seven games in 2021. Can be a game changer. Cannot find a club. Would he be a good signing for the Dragons?

    Can’t believe the TAB bets on the Dragons

    I thought we have bought reasonably well and if some of these buys can get half the form they once showed we must be a good show for the 8 or even better. The TAB has us at the bottom of the list in their future betting. Win GF $51 Make the GF $21. Make the 4 $11. Make the 8 $5.

    Cameron Smith?

    With Cameron Smith at a loose end and us losing our inspirational leader. Could we romanticise for a moment and ponder could Smith bring the team back into finals contention?

    How long will it take to become a top 4 side again.

    This roster has been destroyed by McGregor and cannot be saved. If we get a proper coach how long will it take to rebuild the roster to make the top 4.

    Division between 2 player groups.

    Ray Hardly on radio today spoke of a bitter division between the players caused by the Jack De Belin situation. Paraphrasing his points were. One group is backing JB uphill and down dale the other group won't even speak to him. This has put some players on non speaking terms with each. The team...

    Geoff Toovey the man to have Dragons breathing fire again by Jack Blyth July 23, 2019, 9:23am They say he’s safe, but after what appears to be another bottom eight finish for the Dragons, the drums are beating louder and louder for the sacking of Paul McGregor. And despite a lack of quality...

    Matthew Elliot as head coach.

    Last weekend on ABC radio Grandstand the compare asked Matthew Elliot would he coach the Dragons if asked. His reply was ' I would have to think about it for about 4.7 seconds and it would be a definite yes'. He would be better than Mary but would he be the answer? No for me. He was at times...

    Russel Packer. Did we dodge a bullet?

    The Wests Tigers dropped Russell Packer because of his poor form. I thought he was going to be a long term Dragon and was disappointed he left the Dragons after the club supported him during and after his prison sentence. It seems Millward was correct in letting him go. This opened the door to...

    Write the a Dragons off at your own peril.

    This is a story from the Telegraph. Many of the game’s best judges were thinking St George Illawarra were the best hope of stopping the Sydney Roosters winning back-to-back titles this season.

    So far who has been the better signing Ben Hunt or Cooper Cronk?

    When Cronk came on the market we had already signed Hunt many of us myself included thought did we go too early in signing Hunt. After 5 rounds Ben Hunt has hit the ground running and has been a spectacular addition to the team. Watching Cooper Cronk he seems frustrated at times and so far has...

    What are our chances?

    I for one are very excited about the up coming season. With the inclusion of James Graham and Ben Hunt you would think we have an excellent chance of making the Finals. But when I looked at the TAB betting there are 9 teams with shorter odds to make the top 8. I thought surely we are a much...

    Bellamy hints at leaving Storm

    Graig Bellamy has hinted at leaving Melbourne Storm at the end of next season if a position became available at the Titans. I know we tried for him a few years ago and I for one was disappointed when he decided to stay on at the Storm. He might be talking up his next contract up to stay on at...
