Honestly this has been the same old story under Flannos reign great footy one week appalling the next week we haven't strung 3 consecutive wins since 2022 that's a seriously concerning stat! I won't get excited or optimistic until this pathetic steak is broken.
Apparently there’s a bloke out there who said he won’t cut his hair until the dragons win 3 in a row IMG_9929.png

Suli and Luch the worst players 😂. Mate honestly they were probably our best..

and the rest of you Blaming coach, blaming recruitment . But not many blaming these f**king players who literally do school boy errors.
A f**king coach can teach you how to play shape and defend in shape.
attack wise thought much better than Vegas- got over the advantage line and scored some decent tries.
But when we MISS 47 tackles (not a coach fault)
When we make 12 errors and f**king hand over CHEAP possession

We kick balls out on the full and that changed momentum both times? Ah shit forgot, coaches fault also.

when you throw offloads to the opposition player . Yep coaches fault.

Honestly watch the f**king game, and realise the coach can’t coach stupid errors out of players! That what f**king players need to do themself. It’s called “ball security” not coaches security.

a lot of you just love coach bashing.. and putting the club down.

if we lost 50-0 for 3 weeks in the row then ask questions. Ffs!

The one gets the boot will be the coach.
Is he the one who picks the team?
He was resigned with no improvement in results for 2 years
After all its a results driven business now.
And of his key signings who are getting old are the biggest culprits.eg Gutho.
Knock on thrn give-away stop out thrn kicks out in the full also Cook

Start by pissing off the defensive coach
Young who is the worst in the league.

Yeah. It’s a results driven business. But the dragons are known to hold onto dead wood for as long as possible. It’s crazy that the dragons longest serving coach in their merger history is Mary McGregor. With very little success. That’s what kills me about this club. They never learn.

But after 2 games call for a sacking? he said all along and if everyone on here is a die hard fan knows of the dire we were in!
if people can’t see a slight progression, with players signing (keon) the back room staff and everything’s that’s going good behind the scenes at the club then I can’t help you.
Yes it’s a results driven game but every plan takes time.
Can’t blame Flanno for the 10 years post Bennett era. He’s trying to get the wheels in motion and I do think slowly things are happening.

But to call for a sacking and another coach g change (unless we are getting smashed every game) doesn’t help the club. It brings it backwards

if anyone follows the English premier league. It took Alex Ferguson (best soccer coach) 4 years to win a trophy . These succession plans/building take time!

and if you can’t see how Couchmans /stewart haven’t grown and will be again betting in 27 .

remember they’re only 22 years old

OK, it's early days, but this year so far we have been trounced by a reserve grade side in the charity shield, demonstrated in Vegas that we still can't win close games, and fell over in a heap in our first home game appearance. Early signs are not good so why wouldn't you ask questions. And it's not putting the club down after two games, it's putting the club down after 10 years of mediocrity and irrelevance to the competition. For what it's worth I hope they start winning against good sides, I hope our juniors end up in discussions for SOO duties, and I hope we finish higher than Flanno's previous high water mark of 11th. But from what I've seen so far, it all looks like crap again.

We had Dean Young before he did nothing then and our defence has got worse in the last two years.
We signed Keaon but thsts not enough.
He isn't the saviour
Look at other clubs players want to play with them. Because they never sit in the doldrums for so many years like we hsve.
Not many want to sign here.
With a new coach 2 years ago we are supposed to see some improvement
11tb and then 15th.
This year I dont see us getting any better.injuries or not.
With two new tesms in its slim pickings.

The loss to Souths was definitely down to players not putting in due to not wanting to get injured for Vegas. I’m sure Vegas Close loss/effort has put trial game defeat to bed ..

Don’t get me wrong , hate the position we’ve been in for 10+ years but to always want to change coach personally don’t think it’s the right decision..


coming up against 1 grand finalist in 25 and a potential top 4 team is 2026 . Start losing to poor team badly then ask questions.

Im definitely not saying young should stay though we all know he’ll be the last out that door.
Unfortunately if Flanno goes young is next in line. I personally don’t f**king want that!

cant blame the club for not attempting to sign players. You can convince them as much as you can but when we have had 10+ years of poor back room staff/st George /illawarra fights. you would think people are weary.
I would be. Though the keon signing is a sign it’s looking bright in my opinion .
ceo is outstanding. Things are getting brighter. Just need patience

It doesn't help when we reward poor performers with continued employment. Our coaches need to be held accountable.

It’s called trying to get some unity within the club. Showing some faith!
Keep changing coaches you’ll be in a cycle that is “always building” as a coach will want his squad.

Supporting this club has given me depression. Wish they would fold so I could actually enjoy watching footy and not care so much.
Have you considered cutting off kayo and getting Stan Sports? Switch codes?
I mean, presuming you select an Aussie team to support like Waratahs , your team will still mostly lose but at least you’ll be less invested than you are with dragons?
Im considering it.

Unfortunately a 0-3 start and maybe more is season gone .
Titans and others are no gimmes by any stretch.
Whos to say we win that.
We havent got enough to comeback from that.
We might win 1 here or but we need to bt the big teams too improve.

Mate. Like all us diehard fans, it’s in my blood. I follow a lot of sports but the dragons are the only team that I really care about. I try to stop caring, say that it’s just a sport and there are more important things in life. But these f**kers still put me in a bad mood. I use this forum as group therapy
