The Rumours Thread

[Old Timer]

It's because saints fans generate clicks. I don't know how many times we need to go over this.

You talking about it is exactly why it was written. Like literally the whole point is to stir the pot and generate online sentiment and clicks.

Saints have a huge supporter base who are desperate for success after a long period of being terrible. Prime target.

L.U. would cease to exist without our forum.

This bxllshit is all on the back of The Mole's ( Tony Adams - known Dragon hater), guessing why LPT was not on the plane to LA. Adams loves stirring up shit as far as the Dragons are concerned. You would like to think that Flanno, DA, Creagh and Tim W would have discussed this all with LPT and his family. If they haven't, then yes, that is concerning. But most likely reason is that he is carrying an injury (highlighted by the heavy strapping and lack of trial game time.
The thing that irks me the most, is all 4 other clubs left players at home that would have been close to making the trip. Yet, no discussion, controversy or rumour mongering. Adams is a fxckwit that will take every opportunity to write negative shit about the Dragons. Unfortunately, we are in a current period in our game where most of the media that promote the game have people in important positions that hate the Dragons...... Fox - Anasta, Nines Wide World of Sport - Tony Adams, SMH - Weidler, Fox - Crawley & Read, Gus Gould always finds ways to screw us - Finau Latau & Connor Tracey being recent examples.

It's the club's own fault for not getting on the front foot and telling us why he's not there.

Then all the scuttlebutt goes away.

You can’t satisfy trolls. if they want scuttlebutt, theyl create it elsewhere. if it wasnt Loko, the mole would find a way.

Coach Flanagan is on his last season at the Dragons corporate sponsors and members have now had a gut fall of his statements in the media about his son Kyle and how he needs more cattle with players on the day before the biggest game of the start of the season in Vegas that Dragons can't win the GF in season 2026 but all he cares about is protecting his son Kyle .
And doesn't have the confidence in his roster for this season no motivation from the coach for this season to all Dragons fans and members..

No it’s not. The best coaches don’t hang their young players out to dry by telling the whole world what their shortcomings are and what they need to improve on to make the match day squad.

If it's injury related say so, if it's performance related say that there are parts of his game he needs to work on.

Supportive and simple.

Not supportive if you let the world’s media know why a 20 year old player is not good enough to go on the trip. Better to ignore the stupid questions.

No need to get specific but less than supportive to let innuendo fester.

1. Why do the club owe anyone an explanation for a story that was quite possibly made up by a Facebook gutter "journalist" ??
2. If on the off chance the story is true then the young man in question can pack his bags and go. Lots of potential sure, but both Couchmans, Stewart, Egan, and Jacob H have all looked far more promising so far than Loko. I've actually been quite underwhelmed by him so far. They're all way ahead of him at this point in time.

Only if he hasn't spoken to the kid in person. None of us know what has been said and what hasn't. He doesn't need to say anything to the media if the coaching staff have already spoken to the kid in person.

The first thing Daniel Anderson said about LPT, was that we wouldn't see anywhere near his best until 2027/2028 because of his build and position he plays. I think DA would know.

Our coaching staff and fitness staff should give Loko the support he needs to realise his potential; that is their job and what they're being paid to do.

Loko doesn't believe in the vision being sold from the club it appears. He has done absolutely nothing to warrant a first grade spot I would rather Halangahu get a crack just because your big doesn't mean your intimidating. There is alot more to the game then size

will be interesting to see how long it takes before we see another 9/3 penalty count and who the clubs and ref are.

Next week against the Storm.

 

[shiloh dc]

Look very likely that ZAC LOMAX will be given the all clear to move to the Storm - just in time to play his first game against - the Dragons at Win Stadium Wollongong in round 2.
Could be a ratings bonanza for Fox Sports.
In which case i wish Zac all the best torn achilles, pecs and hamstrings possible.

You think that’s not happening? That comment is ridiculous . Potential just means his done nothing yet and he has to give himself time to grow into that frame.

Another field goal to win...

Holms should not have been selected; he was way below his best. His 2 missed Field goal attempts cost us the game.

He was injured, he shouldn’t have been taking any of the field goals
