    New Rule Change in 2024 - contests for ball

    Interesting change coming this season to encourage more risk from teams. I can see the thinking behind it and I think I like it. See how it plays out in reality. It will definitely favour a team like the Dragons who have given countless penalties away for poor kick restarts. Less controversial...

    SpoonWatch 2023

    Thanks to some very poor coaching and some insipid performances we find ourselves in dead last after 12 rounds. Can’t remember when we were last mid season the last time. Has been a long while. Aside from the main result, the other results this week really compounded our lowly state on the...

    Round 13 - Dolphins

    A team that has never beaten us. Surely another two points! ;) I assume origin will take our best player but other than that it won't wreak too much havoc on either team. Actually looking forward to the footy now. Would be great to build some confidence from the win and should see Sullivan in...

    Nathan Brown (Eels)

    Nathan Brown has been dropped by the Eels and told by the club he can look elsewhere (Herald). Certainly he hasn't been at his best this year but most on here will remember him at his peak as being extremely powerful impact player. Gained Origin call up not long ago. The kind of player I have...

    Breakaway League

    Spit-balling here. Just interested in others' thoughts. I'm looking into a crystal ball and can see something like this happening way down the road. If I'm a league player I'm grateful for the measures taken by the NRL commission to protect the heads and legs of players. Each year more and more...

    Warney

    Absolutely sideswiped by news of his passing. So young. Felt immortal...it's Warney. No one changed cricket like him. Turned a game with a flick of his wrist. Biggest cricketing legend since Bradman. My heartfelt condolences to his family. This can't be...

    Round 21 v Raiders

    With a host of players to return against an equally disappointing Raiders, surely the excuses to lose run out for our team this round. Really looking forward to having Rava and De Belin back to add some much need starch to our play, and we will finally have a recognised goal kicker. Can't...

    The De-Merge Thread

    Pre-merger St George had a winning percentage of 60% (Illawarra 40%) Funnily enough St George Illawarra have a winning percentage of 50.8% and it would appear that this season we will fall on to the negative side of win-loss for the first time since pretty much the initial days of the merger's...

    Dragons Coach 2021 and Beyond

    We can finally look to the future and I for one am mighty excited again. The sack McGregor thread can finally be retired. We will have to trust our suspect board to complete a rigorous process, but who do the fans want to take charge of this team and bring about a winning culture?

    2021 - The Dragons Again

    I need to focus on something positive, hence this thread. The board are to answer for allowing Mary another year to screw us over. They are nearly at a place where there is nowhere to hide, and I can't see that they can justify the coach's tenure for much longer. Hopefully we can get the rot out...

    Dugan Poll

    Does he play against Bulldogs? A bit of a moral dilemma but an easy one for me.

    4th

    There are a lot of 'if's' and 'but's' in any season, like the games you could have won if only they'd called that forward pass, or if the ref had said 'try' instead of 'no try', but do you realise that if we had accounted for the Knights and Rabbits, we'd be sitting in 4th place tonight?? With a...

    Glad We Lost

    If we'd won that it would only prolong our misery. There are not words in the English language to describe how heartless, dumb and woeful that performance was. As soon as they got to ten in front they looked like a team that wanted to lose. I have never wanted Dragons to lose but a good part of...

    Fijian Home Game?

    How awesome is this! St George Illawarra Dragons in move to stage landmark home NRL game in Fiji St George Illawarra are in talks to take an NRL game outside of Australia and New Zealand for the first time as part of a bid by Fiji to stage two competition matches next season. The AFL made...

    Gareth Widdop Appreciation

    Something positive. I thought Gareth was getting back to his best last night. Result goes the other way in golden point and we would all be lauding him. I agree with others in that he basically trying to do the job of two halves, and for mine his defensive reads, especially in desperation stakes...

    Frizell and Dugan

    Sorry but that is weak as from those two. Usually I wouldn't doubt either's commitment but Frizell showed no desperation for the Dragons. Quite obviously they both thought we will save ourselves for Origin with full support of the coach. That's how I saw it anyway. Very poor leadership. I find...

    Cameron Munster

    Hi guys. Munster will be available in 2021. He is a great player. Does anyone think we should sign him?

    Origin Thread

    Dugan very average at centre if you ask me. Ineffective in attack anyway. QLD dirty as usual, eye gouges and shoulders to heads... GO BLUES!!

    A little bit of Loyalty

    I know money makes the world go round, but both Packer and Dugan were offered lifelines by our club. Any rumours suggesting Sharks or anyone else is offering Dugan $1 mill a season is absolute rubbish. Whatever we have offered would be a fair amount, even if we aren't able to match dollar for...

    Robbed

    Once again the refs help the Brisbane team over the line. Competition is good when Bronx are going well...what a joke! I'd be spewing if that was the Dragons! Milford knocks on for the clutch play when all eyes are on him, right after they let him pass the ball after his tackled. Just don't...
