    Sack Flanagan

    3 rounds in and I Can't believe I'm hearing this rubbish about sacking Flannigan. Yee of little faith should find another club to support. The guy inherited a second rate team (like he did at Cronulla- premiership 3 years later!) and as the saying goes: Rome wasn't built in a day. His post game...

    Coach Flanno

    As Dragons fan for 63 years, I'm mightily impressed with coach Flannigan's aims and aspirations for OUR club. However, the rebuild he intends will take time, so lets not have the 'sack the coach' idiocy if results don't come our way immediately. Remember he is basically starting from ground...

    Coach Flanno

    Well the season from hell has thankfully ended. Thanks to all fellow posters for keeping me entertained. My take on recruiting is: 1) must add speed 2) must add size and aggression to the forwards 3) recruit from the the best systems - Penrith, Storm and Roosters 4) buy 3 elite players rather...

    The Rumours Thread

    Lomax at fb, wow and it's not 1st April. I recall he was tried there before, too slow and doesn't have much of a passing game. Any incursions into the backline would offer little threat, oppostion defence would slide and belt our winger over the sideline. Sloan offers far more in attack and...

    The Rumours Thread

    In a couple of years we'll be wondering why the Dragons ever let Bud Sullivan go. Then again, we might buy him back after the Tiges give him the opportunity to grow his game and Hunt moves off into the sunset. Sullivan's departure sends completely the wrong message to our up and coming local...

    The Rumours Thread

    We desperately need a top class hooker so targets now, or when they come off contract should be: Robson, Egan, Kenny or either of the Brailey brothers. Ben Hunt should be released immediately and the salary saved put into securing 2 really good props. Moses Suli should be released ASAP- he looks...

    The Rumours Thread

    How many 1st grade games have Bud, Junior & Sloan played? Ans: bugger all! They all would be further on in their development except for Griffin's woeful selections. Bud, in particular has been given limited opportunity- stuck behind the $m man Hunt. More faith in our locals please!! Can all 3...

    Indigenous players -Dragons

    Congrats Dragons for supporting NAIDOC week. I spent 4 years working at Brewarrina and Bourke in the late 80' and early 90's made many Koorie friends. You don't have to guess how I';ll be voting in the Referendum!

    The Rumours Thread

    Lomax's play is hamstrung by the team's safety first mentality. No block plays, 2nd man plays or fullback sweeping into the backing helping to create overlaps. Better system would help unlock his potential. Too often he takes hit ups into the teeth of defence, never doubt his bravery! One of...

    Hunt has asked for a release

    Blamming Hunt for the team's abysmal form is unfair. Week in week out he has been one of our best players. The independent Daly M judges regularly vote him points. Put the blame where it should lie- squarely at the feet of the Board and their ineptitude. Ask this question: why can other clubs...

    Hunt has asked for a release

    Although I'm annoyed re HUNT's request to leave, after tonight's game I can't really blame him. Why wouldn't you want to play where you occasionally get to sing the team song! Our once proud club is a rabble with most of the players lazy, disinterested and lacking fitness. Interesting how well...

    Coaching preference for 2024

    Flanno would certainly put some pep into the team and may change the tide. No, all jokes aside he understands footy and what it takes to rebuild a club. As far as Ben Hunt goes- for a $m a season he should bloody well play where the coach picks him. If hooker is best for the team, so be it...

    What is the first rule you have learnt playing junior football... play to the whistle !!!

    Sorry, very tired and typing skills abandoning me. Sullivan hands over better than Amone and Sloan too much a liability in defence both with his tackling tackl

    What is the first rule you have learnt playing junior football... play to the whistle !!!

    Team has improved under Ryan Carr. Twice they had the opportunity to challenge decisions. Sometimes a challenge can be used in a tacital way to allow the defence to reset. Best player for Penrith was Billy Burns! Zac Lomax is being wasted as a hit up merchan9merchan9t

    Sack Griffin

    The SGI Board have sacked Griffin (about time) BUT in another show of stupidity have given the job to assistant coach Ryan Carr as an interim. An outsider should have been brought in- fresh eyes without biases was what was needed.

    Sack Griffin

    Mate- a mop and a broom wouldn't scratch the surface to clean up the mess the Board and Griffin have created, better bring in the Gernyi! Treatment of Bud Sullivan was absolutely disgraceful.

    Dragons selection are head scratchers

    Getting the Dragons out of the hole they're in is going to take shrewd recruiting. Currently journeyman (cheap) players are bought from other clubs.. Melbourne Storm are very successful using this approach but their ability to 'value add' leaves the Dragons for dead. This should change to...

    Sack Griffin

    Are the Dragons under coached or over coached that is the question? (apologies to Bill Shakespere) Under coached evidence: set restarts are poor, no block plays or well executed 2nd man plays. Over coached evidence: attack consists of 4 single man hit ups, one spread, lucky if it gets to an...

    And then it got worse!

    Elvis had a hit with Heartbreak Hotel. The Dragons must own the keys to the front door, back door and even the car park. Please, please hook the Hook! By the way, from now on gift 2 points need to be taken, our attack isn't good enough to think we can turn a certain 2 points into very unlikely...

    Dragons selection are head scratchers

    High Noon was a simply metaphor for two bottom of the table teams squaring off. That said, I got a good laugh from the clips and comments. I'll make sure to wear my Akubra on Sunday whilst eating BBQed Tiger Ribs!
