    2021 - Squad, Signings, Re-signings

    You can’t have a good defensive side with project players and L-platers. You must have hard-heads and experience.

    Dragons Coach 2021 and Beyond

    The Club’s three criteria in appointing a new coach Is an exercise in amateurish stupidity, almost as dumb as saying the job was Youbg’s to lose .... but let’s humour the CEO for now ... 1. Defence oriented approach 2. Disciplinarian 3. Must have been part of a successful setup The candidates...

    Board Split

    Board issues? Not a new thing. Happened at West’s, Manly, Parra, Sharks, Penrith, Bulldogs and now Broncos. Some of these boards have bordered on the dysfunctional, even with their clubs performing on the field. Even while winning comps in Manly’s case. Board ructions and Rugby League go...

    Hunt To Broncos

    Hunt is the least of our problems. The halves in general. I was never sold on Norman but let’s see what an experienced coach can do with them, if Griffin gets the nod. Norman arguably played his best football with Brisbane after being brought through the ranks by Griffin. Was poor at Parra. But...

    Which Team do Dragons Fans hate the Most?

    It’s a moveable feast. Evolves over time. As a kid in the late 70’s it was Parra, then Manly and the Dogs, then Berries and Sharks were my second and third faves. Never had and love for Souths or Easts back then either. In the 80’s under Wok, Canterbury became more reviled, the Eels were still...

    Jordan Pereira Extends

    Yes they did snot the Eels wingers. Sivo cried off for the night. Have to hand it to Air Jordan. Easily his best game with the club. He must have busted a dozen tackles. I think the conditions helped him. He’s a bit slippery to handle at the best of times. Ive been critical of his abilities but...

    Round 14 vs Eels

    Most committed 40 mins of the season by a long stretch. We should sack Mary more often :D

    He's gone

    That line about 2018 was pure fiction, in line with the general fiction of his PC’s which was always ‘we need to take accountability’ but nobody ever did. That flogging at Kogarah by a reserve grade Dogs team on the eve of the finals, was easily the low point for me. Ironically coming in the...

    He's gone

    Overall he’s handled his departure ok I think. There’s obviously some bad blood there over the circumstances of his diminished role and that’s human nature. The club has allowed him to spin this to save some face and who really cares now and does it even matter? The claim that we were ‘almost...

    2021 - Squad, Signings, Re-signings

    Hynes seems decent but still not seen much of him. And they have bought Brenko Lee, Leutele as well thus year. Not a massive show of faith in him. Hiku could hold down a centre spot for a season or two.

    Clearing up media myths

    1. Saints have a current on-paper roster that Is easily too 8 material. Mr Hooper, only the most ardent Saints fan or inattentive football judge could actually believe this BS. Take a look at our bench this week. This brain fart now suits the bash Mary backflip narrative doing the rounds in the...

    Christian Welch

    O’Brien, the coach. The mail is he has signed with Saints. Would be a good signing to start with.

    "IN WANE WE TRUST" ................ Shaun Wane that is.

    Sorry, a couple of corrections there, 34 on Manly this year and 2018 the year in question when we dusted off the Broncs and everything seemed so hopeful, sadly a false dawn. if not Flanagan or Fitzgibbon NOW, then yes, some options are there but none are obvious ‘tick-every-box’ fits: Bennett...

    "IN WANE WE TRUST" ................ Shaun Wane that is.

    Wayne Bennett would be the wrong appointment at this moment in time. It would be a ‘safe’ appointment, doesn’t show much daring or thought to a long-term vision, more a quick fix. On the plus side: He certainly would bring instant respect and attract the high quality players we need. He took...

    "IN WANE WE TRUST" ................ Shaun Wane that is.

    Dean Young’s reference from Mary should be the death knell for his aspirations. The last coaching referral that was acted on was Steve Price and we know how that worked out.

    Phil Gould reveals his 'lack of review' into Dragons after coach sacked

    Yeah don’t get me wrong. He knows hit football inside and out. He’s done it all and he gets many kudos for all that. I just think this ‘high priest’ of the game persona that channel 9 have bestowed on him is more bluster these days. He did rejuvenate the Pamthers club in a business sense and...

    Phil Gould reveals his 'lack of review' into Dragons after coach sacked

    One of the game’s true deceivers is our man Gus. Comes as no real surprise. Otherwise he would have said more in the media prior to this about the role he was undertaking. It was always subterfuge from the very beginning. An arse-covering exercise to preserve Mary’s job and allow Jonno to limp...

    2021 - Squad, Signings, Re-signings

    As good as de Belin is its time to make a clean break and move on. My signing targets to replace the following would be: Graham: Eisenhuth (Tigers) preferably or Tamou (Panthers). Others: Soliola (Raiders) J Saifiti (Knights), Rudolph (Sharks) JDB: May (Panthers), Bird (Broncos, with wage...

    He's gone

    Most logical alternative would be Flanagan, unless they can coax the Roosters into releasing Fitzgibbon. Dean Young is not a viable candidate having only narrowly survived the last review himself. My bet is the club will successful lobby the NRL to have Flanagan’s bam lifted and If that happens...

    He's gone

    It’s easy to engage in a pile-on but agree with what was said earlier, McGregor didn’t write his own cheque and doesn’t deserve it. One thing he cannot be faulted for is his passion for the club and he has worked tirelessly. It’s unfortunate that the profound failure of his tenure was entirely...
