    The Rumours Thread

    I refer back to my original post....have a look at some of the other areas players are willing to go to play NRL eg Canberra .... surely you would have to concede that the Illawarra is not an inferior area in comparison. I still say location is a furphy ... and it didn't stop Wayne Bennett...

    The Rumours Thread

    All this talk of Sydney/Wollongong is a furphy... players are going to Canberra, Melbourne and Penrith to play... I would think these areas would be a lot less desirable than Wollongong and Kogarah. I do however think an enquiry should be conducted within the club to determine why we continually...

    Round 14 - v Tigers

    Someone might have had the white ant exterminator in?

    2025 Squad List

    We can all speculate on here but surely with our continual failure to secure high quality recruits despite having salary cap space, our board should be conducting an enquiry to determine the root cause of this failure. I would have thought that this was a board function, to address systematic...

    Sack Flanagan

    I think we all knew it was going to be a tough season for the dragons. At the moment I think we are operating above par with our roster. I don't think it helps when so called "supporters" leap into a back stabbing frenzy when we have a couple of losses. I think Flanno is the current best option...

    David Fifita

    Fifita is rumoured to be leaving because he wants to win a comp. From all reports he is on a good deal at the Titans.... I think we will only bringing more misery upon ourselves if we get our hopes up that he will come to the dragons.

    Rnd 6 vs Tigers

    I don't know which way to go with this one. Sloan is brilliant in attack but it must be deflating to team mates when he continually fails to make the tackles and clean up the loose ball that most top level fullbacks would do, or at least put his body on the line in the attempt.

    Wasn't he trying to flog Schuster to the tigers.....sorry pass for me.

    Sack Flanagan

    I think our attack is a big improvement on last year. There are signs of life there. Having Lomax on the wing has been a masterstroke from Flanno. Still a lot of work to do but it was never going to be a stellar season from the dragons with the current roster. We've got to be patient and let the...

    R2 v Dolphins.

    For me the dragons suffered from poor defence and a failure to get into the grind. Sloan failed to tackle the Hammer in cover for his first try. Sua's miss on Nichols for his try was terrible. Just basic one on one misses. You can't afford these mistakes against tough Bennett coached sides.

    Flanno's New Signings

    I'd like to be proved wrong but a loose canon and a lazy defender for mine! Not what is required to establish a positive culture in the club. Some on staff at the club have had experience with him so I guess it's their judgement call.

    The Rumours Thread

    Initially I was disappointed that we missed out out on AFB but when you considering the massive money he would be on, and that he would not arrive until 2025 and then such a long term contract at his age? Also, his track record doesn't scream stability and commitment to his terms of contract...

    That was a massive blow missing out on AFB but it is just so hard to attract players to a club that is perceived to have the poorest roster in the NRL. On the flipside though if you look at AFB'S record we were never going to get a committed clubman for our mill + per year.

    OT: Tiger’s board dismissed

    That was only pure arse..... We can only thank our lucky stars that Rylsey knocked the job back!

    The Rumours Thread

    We need this guy even if we have to pay overs. I'm sure his signing would make the dragons more attractive to other potential recruits. No elite playmakers or backs want to play behind a popgun pack with no go forward.

    Flanno's New Signings

    Maybe he would be an option at a club with an established strong culture, but not at a club trying to stamp out a poor culture.

    Fonua Blake has all of the attributes we need in a front rower and a forward leader, as long as he passes the "No DHs" test. He appears to be the forward leader we desperately need and would increase our appeal as a destination for other recruits.

    Do you mean with an another overpaid bench forward that bursts into life for a couple of games prior to origin?
