Maybe we should go after some of his players. That would really piss Bennett off

Already poached one and now have no salary cap space for next 6 years.

 

[2010]

We did, and got the 6 million dollar man. Ring any bells?

I knew that, I should have mention that.

The pathways program needs an over hall. I believe the introduction of the following measures would make a difference:

Form a pathways committee chaired by Mark Coyne with Millward and Mary as members and various player mentors as advisors.

Then plot a pathways course for those players identified as potential first graders by this committee. This committee to meet each month mainly to update the progress and time-line targets.

In this way both Mary and Millward have ownership of pathway decisions and Coyne, as chairman is the facilitator. Ex-Australian greats such as Cooper, Johns etc. could be hired as mentors.

Agree with this suggestion. I reckon this committee should also select all 3 squads each week.

you take my half I will take yours

I'm over the Bird saga tbh. I can't see any of our young guns being in that calibre. Maybe Lomax but the rest are borderline ordinary. Shoot me now.

Damn the under 20's are very ordinary aren't they.

I can say it now without any doubt you have no f**king idea.

I should have stated I was talking about reserve grade coast. NYC boys are killing it. And I do have some f**king idea.

 

[coast_dragons]

You are still wrong the NSW Cup is a developing squad this year it was always going to be that way after key players left the squad last year.

Most of the younger players are in their first full year of senior football ie Herbert and the results have been up and down but that was to be expected.

They lost a very good coach and some very established players in Wakeman, Sironen and a few others.

Head is also in his first full season of coaching at a more senior level and he has made mistakes but he is no worse then Mary.

When I say developing I am not talking about the likes of Mose, Marketo and co as most of them should have been moved on already and hopefully they are.

Thompson, Herbert, Robson, Leilua and Host will benefit or should I say are benefiting from playing at that level mind you a feeder club imo isn't what the Dragons really need and I hope it changes sooner then later.

What a great idea !

 

[coast_dragons]

What commitee is that oh wait you mean the one with Coyne telling the club to keep Mary.

Thanks Coyne you dopey merkin.

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

We should bring Salior in to first grade.
Cut Nightingale, make him play reserve grade for two years.

Ahhhhh old times.

Thanks Coyne you dopey merkin.

Yea it looks like he's just another one of the old boys club.

Actually Cronulla are first on 20s how about we poach their best! Ala Jack Bird

 

[SaintPauli]

You know this, I know this, why in hell can't the Board see this.

Because we are a development club. Havent you guys heard Doust say this a dozen times ! Its about the NRL and other clubs benefitting not the Dragons. We're not a selfish look out for themselves club like Melbourne Broncos Roosters and Lately Sharks who have all had recent overwhelming success. TIME TO LOOK AFTER OURSELVES AND GET MANAGEMENT WHO HAVE THE e.g. MELBOURNE SETUP MENTALITY.

Great suggestion...When do we get a new board and new coaching staff so that we can compete with the clubs mentioned.

 

[dragonssamy61]

You need to go to opsm why the hell would these same juniors get selected as junior kangaroos junior state of origin and kiwi junior test sides if they were so bad.the mind boggles at the negativity around here

100% correct

 

[Overseas dragon]

I genuinely believe you've hit the nail on the head Lifes Good. Also, good summation Get Smarty. I didn't say the boys were bad, just not shining. Worst mistake was letting Demetriou leave imo. I can say with confidence that Mary felt threatened by him. JD would be preparing these young fellas a lot better than Head currently is.

Your words in all honesty I can't spot a rising star in our ranks sounds very much like they are ordinary you can't have it both ways drag..I personally think we have a truck load of very promising future stars unfortunately mcanchor is holding any go forward for these same stars .

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

Actually Cronulla are first on 20s how about we poach their best! Ala Jack Bird

Cronulla u20s have scored over 600 points, their for and against is +300, why they are in the market for outside backs defeats me.

He

Or he will in fear his son will never get an opportunity with McHandbrake as coach. Dell is a huge Bennett fan as well!!

In two years time when this kid is ready for first grade Mary won't be coach and Bennett will be retired
