And the likes of Flanagan were saying at the end of 2024 that it won't be until 2026 that we see the improvement...

The performances such as tonights are inglorious but the way our administrators/ spokespeople/ management string the the fans along with empty words is despicable.

Enough talk. Get us some quality.

Don’t judge this team on tonight, we were setup to fail and a reserve grade lineup could not cope with that. There are many positives from 2025, as long as you are thinking about 2026 and beyond.

Believe you me next year will be the Same, if people understand rugby league, this club have become the cellar dwellers, easy beats, 2 points guaranteed for opposing teams, the West Mapgies of the 80 and 90s, they merged with another trash club of the 80s and 90s Illawarra Steelers.
This club is absolute Trash Trash Trash Trash.
Congratulations to the Flannos easy money making trash club!

Newcastle and the Titans exist but

Now that I’ve calmed down, I reckon that if we had a few players back from injury, then we would have had a good chance of beating this team. The thing that shits me is, Souffs had as much as us out and had nothing to play for as well. Yet the only team that showed up is Souffs. That’s what f**king annoys me. And it’s been pretty much the same story for the past 14 years.

Their home game, Johnston approaching the try scoring record, Bennet avoiding a spoon, they had a bit more to play for than us. Ref helped so too with that non call on the forward pass try and the penalty against Flanagan for tackling without the ball, both decisions said all that is needed about the referees and how they referree the Dragons.

 

[sammymills]

their bench really killed us. i kinda wish fifita played we really lacked go foward in this game.

Condolences to any Dragons fan who had anything good happen to them this week. These bludgers just ruined your vibe

Believe it or not I found out just as the game started that I was going to be a grand father for the first time

 

[Dribble&Yarn]

Keaon and their forward pack totally killed us tonight. Flanno's use of our bench was criminal, we had to get some more minutes out of the bench, especially BMM. Halangahu was strong tonight, over 120m and 45 tackles 0 misses. Going to be a very special player

 

[hook hook]

Lol, how’s the bipolar of this place. Last 3 weeks and we’re gonna win a comp with a few signings and more experience in the youngsters…

This week. We’re f**ked and we’re coming last and never get to where we need to be.
Look at the whole picture for christs sake. Yes, we played shit, but we’ve only really done that 3 times this season, we’ve come a long way

Interesting comments from a reporter about the refereeing. It’s not just the supporters who think we were once again dudded how ever as also said that wasn’t why we were flogged.

 

[Not Myself]

I blame Sloan

That is the perfect example of the roller coaster we have chosen. Congratulations though, you must be pumped!

Well, I come here to commiserate over losses and laud great performances with like-minded folk, like everyone else here.
And I'd never follow another side. I just, obviously unreasonably, expect my side to make an effort - regardless of who is missing from the line-up or whether they have "anything to play for".
IMO, as soon as you pull on that jersey you have something to play for. Regardless.
PS - also, have you ever heard of the literary device known as "hyperbole"?

Spot on mate.

 

[UDGE]

Why wouldn't he have played Ilias tonight could have moved Kyle to the bench ....... We were short of first graders ....... Just my opinion .......

Watch the last month of cup games then you'll know why with all the big boppers either injured or playing firsts it's no better than last night unfortunately

 

[Corrimal Dragon]

My doggies following brother in law sent this and he's right

 

[UDGE]

When the other side is playing gridiron and the referee or touch judge look away really what hope have you got? Tonight was 2025 repeated, but without any attack, plenty of shitty calls leading to a break in spirit, I am not surprised at all. Bring on 2026.

Finally someone said something you are correct

Yep the Allan knock back that both the sutton grubs agreed on being forward aswell i nearly turned off the tele after the first cheating incident with the forward pass try but i punished my self till it was 28 zip i couldn't watch sutton smiling anymore though so thankfully missed the last 12 points put on us

Wow - The saints roller coaster support base
Full of Chicken Littles

I thought we were pedestrian at best
No spark, no fluency
Looked to me that we were knackered after 15 mins

Reckon physical fatigue from the outstanding effort last week, played a big role.

You can't pin that game as proof our future is Farked

Dragons forever!!!!

P.S. I confess - I went to bed at half time

Yeah I must have had a sixth sense of what was coming up - I turned it off at half time too. Terrible refereeing plus a really lethargic first half didn't bode well.
Was still shocked and pretty angry to see the final score.

Should have been him instead of lawrie and Lui instead of guber and no i didn't spell him wrong guber is his name now

They had a bit more to play for than us....not 40 points to nil more to play than us....also, whatever happened to showing a bit of pride in the jumper? Not letting the fans down?

Send Gutherson back to parramatta. Flanno made a huge mistake signing him for 3 years on a million each year - he's limping in every game and was sidestepped easy by back rowers

The only reason Flanno signed Gutherson was to save himself in the short term and buy him time - hence his new contract.

Sure Gutherson tries hard but 3 years will prove flanno got it very wrong
