    The Rumours Thread

    Unfortunately, I think it is part of the problem. For anyone already living in Sydney, you probably want to stay in Sydney. Look at the Penrith players, they'd much rather move to Wests Tigers than us despite their miserable record. They don't have to move house, their wives/girlfriends don't...

    Flano Press conference

    Well after 8 rounds in 2023 we had won 2 games. Our wins were against perennial under-achievers Titans and the Dolphins with a bunch a players out. This season after 8 games we have won 4, including wins against sides with top 8 aspirations in Manly and Warriors. I'd say there's been...

    The Bermuda triangle@. Sharks r9

    Recent history indicates that whenever you expect the Dragons to lift, or bounce back, they don't. I feel nauseous writing this, but Sharks by 20.

    Round 8 v Roosters Anzac Day

    To be charitable, that was our third game in 11 days. That's the only excuse I can think of.

    That's OK, we can make a run for the finals from here.

    Zac Lomax

    Just watching Parramatta get smacked around by the Dolphins. I hope Lomax is watching as well.

    Rnd 6 vs Tigers

    Eisenhuth used to play centre. Should at least know where to stand in defence.

    Zac Lomax

    Not how I remember it. Zac was playing fine in 2023. Hook sacked him and Liddle when they were two of our better players. We had way bigger problems with that side than Zac. Mbye on the bench, Bird in the forward pack, Amone as 5/8. Who did Hook replace him with? Max Feagai and we lost the next...

    The Rumours Thread

    No Cookie for me. He's not a Cam Smith who could run the team, deputise at 5/8, kick goals, and tell the ref what he was doing wrong. Cookie's big asset was his speed off the mark and the ability to make a break off quick play the balls from big Souths forwards. At 32, he doesn't have the same...

    Rnd 6 vs Tigers

    Not saying that. But Flanno was the one who made the statement about making changes. I just think he's missed an opportunity to demonstrate he's serious.

    Rnd 6 vs Tigers

    Nuh. All he's done is tell the players he's bluffing. Play as poorly as you like, you might get a mention in the press but you'll still be in the side.

    Rnd 6 vs Tigers

    Who's kidding who? It's the same team. I thought Flanno said in the last presser "there will be more to change as well". Doesn't look like it.

    Gratitude Thread

    I'm grateful we're still further up the ladder than Souths. I don't expect this will last, but at the moment I have bragging rights over my next door neighbour.

    The best full back ever

    Exactly. I was thinking more about about Dufty though, who would go for the intercept rather than the tackle. Missed tackles? Not many. Missed intercepts? Quite a few.

    The best full back ever

    I dunno what to make of this. I'd much rather have Edwards, Tedesco, Gutherson or even Rapana defending the try line. Those guys will seriously bust a gut to get to a tackle and try & stop a try. Yeah, maybe they miss a few but at least they always try. Sloane and Lattrell on the other hand...

    R5 Knights.

    I feel physically ill after watching that shemozzle. Our players have no brains, no skill, no guts, no anything.

    Zac Lomax

    I don't get it and I'm disappointed we're letting Lomax go. So far our recruitment has been the son of the coach, a bench forward from Souths, a bench forward from Melbourne, and an out of favour player from the Dogs. Every good player we targeted, Dearden, Fonua-Blake, Manu, wanted nothing to...

    The best full back ever

    Just from the NRL era - Luke Patten, Ben Hornby, the Morris boys, Darius Boyd, Duges, all well ahead of Sloane at this point. I have Sloane in the same group as Dufty & Quinlan ie some upside but with serious shortcomings. Can he can go on and achieve great things? Who knows.

    NRL 360 and FOX in general

    I don't bother with NRL 360, and I've never been a fan of Fox. But if I was a journo looking for a story, last years wooden spooners have won two games in a row against top 8 teams, and that probably is a more interesting story than Dragons beating Manly in an error-ridden match.

    R5 Knights.

    Did anyone watch the Knights Warriors game? Frizzle is definitely a danger man, but Ponga looked gassed after 20 minutes. I reckon we're a chance.
