    Ryan Webb

    First calling for the next CEO must surely be a focus on our fortunes on the football field. That includes getting rid of Ben Harran and some of the other hangers on in the backroom staff. I don't know what it is, but something must really stink back there and it's not helping us to recruit in...

    Flanno's New Signings

    There is definitely going to be no quick, or even clear, road to success. We have some good juniors (U19s rep stars). These guys are still a minimum two years away from regular first grade. I believe under Flanno we will reap these rewards in time... But, in the process, continuing to be...

    Round 27 v Raiders

    The defense of Hunt seems to be around the fact that Damien Cook is coming and this will take more pressure off him. First of all, don't get me wrong, I think Cookie will add a lot to our squad both on and off the field in his leadership capacity. But one could easily argue - why did we need...

    Flanagan / Hunt - Explain that.

    I know it's cliche - but this coming off/pre-season will be the toughest and most crucial ever. This club no longer has the luxury of time. We have more expansion clubs coming within the next 3-5 years. They will be targeting our nursery looking for players who they can build their first...

    Season 2024 over

    I agree. Don't see any of this being a simple process, and we would need to try and get something out of it in return i.e. a swap deal with O'Sullivan or Katoa from the Dolphins as one scenario. Hell, I'd even take a swap with Keiran Foran at this point in time (couldn't be any worse). After...

    Season 2024 over

    The one thing I would be saying to Hunt first thing tomorrow morning. Get on the phone to Mal and Billy and tell them that you are retiring from rep footy. You're not available for the Kangaroos this international season. You've played your last game for Queensland. If you're not willing to do...

    Season 2024 over

    Flanno - just take a look at what happened to Madge at the Tigers. Take control of your own destiny as quickly as possible. Get the deadwood players out and get Haran replaced with someone you trust as soon as possible. Don't let this be the hill that you die on.

    Flanagan / Hunt - Explain that.

    1. Garrick 2. Saab 3. Averillo 4. Wishart 5. Bostock The speed and size of this 'Dragons Juniors' back five is way better than what has been running out this year, including Lomax and the back ups (+ four out of this five are capable goal kickers as well). At a stretch, maybe I'd keep Lomax...

    Flanagan / Hunt - Explain that.

    Hunt to Dolphins Sean O'Sullivan / Isiah Katoa + Jack Bostock coming the other way Tyrone Wishart RCG (and if we can't find another versatile middle/edge forward for 2025 give Dylan Egan a guaranteed spot in the pack and simplify his rookie season - tackle hard and run hard) Su'a - agreed...

    Flanagan / Hunt - Explain that.

    Regardless of other mitigating circumstances, yesterday exposed that we still have a lot of problems to fix if we are to be anything more than a below average football team going forward.

    Season 2024 over

    Agreed - I'm also sick of having hoodoos against certain clubs. It's something that's engrained in our DNA. Again, we get hope that things may be changing (such as finally being able to beat the Storm in Melbourne after 25 years), but then we see what happened yesterday...

    Season 2024 over

    I'll also say further to my previous post. I really hope that Flanno does not choose this as his hill to die on. I know it's a never ending narrative for us as a supporter base, but the days of us bagging the coach and calling for their sacking have to be well and truly past us now. This...

    Season 2024 over

    There are absolutely no words that can describe how crap we must all be feeling after that. About the game itself and the fact that our season is hanging by a thread, there are no more words. Titans potentially beating the Knights today will only give us more false hope. Rip the band-aid off I...

    Parra R 26 Now or Never.

    The way some players went today was akin to a sales team in the corporate world committing a $1million deal for a financial quarter, then backing the deal out on the last day of the quarter! What would happen to that sales team in those circumstances? I’m sure they’d be sacked !!

    Parra R 26 Now or Never.

    If you think this playing group is full of spastics, please hit the like button now!! Gutted, absolutely GUTTED!! I don't even know what lessons Flanno & the coaching staff take from this today? Doesn't matter about Liddle out last minute, Hunt on one leg, refs calls, Eels just more...

    Parra R 26 Now or Never.

    Hopefully: Ravalawa & Lomax right side. Feagais left side. R Couchman, RFM start with JDB, Leilua and Toby coming off the bench against a tiring pack. Hopefully we get an opportunity to inject LKT into the game at some point. Parramatta will throw the ball around and if the passes stick they...

    Parra R 26 Now or Never.

    Flanno should print this out and force all players to read it before training today.

    Sloan

    The dropping Sloan ship has sailed. It was attempted back against the Panthers, then he was recalled a week later and then had a 'blinder' against the competition front runners. Other than Lomax, taking him out now would leave us with next to no pace in our back five. As I've said before...

    Parra R 26 Now or Never.

    Unfortunately, I feel that if we run out with the Feagais as our centre pairing, we're not going to make it. Much the same as Sloan, both will need big off seasons coming up if they are to remain in the plans longer term. Still calling for Ravalawa to come back in on the right wing (whom I...

    Flanno's New Signings

    Let's not get too carried away comparing our recruitment to that of the Tigers. Other than Luai (whom they had to pay overs for), I don't see their recruitment as being any better or worse than what we have done so far. At the same time, they will also be going into 2025 thinner in the pack with...
