    The Rumours Thread

    Gardenia, I have been reading your input over many years now - I joined in 2016- and am normally happy to do so. But I must disagree with you here. Get Smarty plays an extremely valuable and time consuming role on this Forum and he never sets out to attack anyone. At various times he has...

    Flanno's New Signings

    Illusion, I think we would first have to see if Piggy can still manage to jump over the fence and sit in with the fans for a moment or two. That certainly beat all those limp, usually self-centred and meaningless to most people try celebrations we see now. It was pure skill and humour from the...

    The Rumours Thread

    Whatever the true stat for ball retrieval from short kickoffs and dropouts it would be shocking and cost us dearly last season. Good onya Rev for bringing it up. Hope Flanno has got it high on his massive Must Improve list. Over many more seasons but also very poor are our stats for Golden Point.

    The Rumours Thread

    I did notice the carpark inside the southern ground at WIN Stadium yesterday was pretty full early in the afternoon. Nice to know that playing for the Dragons remains a positive for some youngsters.

    The Rumours Thread

    Good to see a positive comment on here, Jak. We must remember that the off-season is our best chance to be positive. In fact for many years now it has been the only time we could be positive. Though I did feel good back in 2020 when Covid stopped the comp. Just not for long enough! We won't...

    2024 Squad List

    Sorry, Choker, didn't mean to come across as a smartA! We posters have gotta all stick together and lead the way for the club and the players. Good onya, for trying to assist the club while on night shift. Because the club certainly needs all the help it can get. And as we have seen, season...

    2024 Squad List

    Choker, Flano has only brought one player to the club so far, Hame Sele, but you can't find a place for him?

    Bud News

    An interesting discussion. My own view is: 1. I am disappointed that Bud has gone, just like many posters. 2. His injuries and Griffin's selection policy prevented Bud from having a red hot crack at the NRL over the past two seasons. 3. Bud's games in KOE Cup in the first half of this year...

    Bud News

    I admire your values, OT. In fact I share them. Obviously we grew up in an era when parents regarded inculcating excellent values in their kids as one of their most important parental roles. However where I differ from you is that because I hold the whole operation of the NRL in contempt I...

    Dan Russell

    From what I have seen in KOE Cup he has played consistently well and consistently long minutes without demanding a spot in the NRL team. But after two shocking defeats, I would reckon an injection of enthusiasm is what is required and a mature age player in his first game may be able to provide it.

    KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

    This season you have to search very hard to make a positive comment about the Dragons. But I think it is quite objective to say something good about the KOE Cup team over the past couple of months. After a shocking start to the season, they have now begun to string some wins together and today...

    KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

    It's good to get some good news with all the crap associated with our SoO rep going on. So well done to KOE and Flegg teams! As I watched the KOE highlights, the thought struck me that, with Flanagan coming on board, we may be better at working out who to keep and who to let go from our lower...

    Hunt has asked for a release

    Whichever way you look at this situation, it is a mess. I suggest the best way through it is to do a deal with Hunt demanding that he resigns the captaincy, commits himself wholeheartedly to the Dragons for the rest of this season, competing as best he can every week in return for being released...

    New recruits for 2023

    Sorry for my naivety, jak, but I have not read a tabloid newspaper for 50 years. As you know there has been quite a debate over Flanagan's suitability as a Head Coach given what happened at the Sharks. To me, there is so much behaviour in and associated with the NRL that is totally lacking in...

    New recruits for 2023

    Amazing piece of spin from Hooper - 8 weeks since Griffin was sacked! Try 4 weeks. Shocking exaggeration just to put crap on Dragons' management. We are all quite capable of doing that without needing to exaggerate. Not saying Hooper's spray is not deserved but surely journalists have an...

    New recruits for 2023

    I would say we would have been better to have kept Luciano Leliua on the left edge. I would also argue that Bird would have been a handy keeper during the seasons he played with the Sharks. Agree with Robson and Garrick. Host should have been kept even though I think Mary slowed down his...

    Coaching preference for 2024

    Silverdale P, it's the 3 year membership before you can vote. Plus here's an example of St. George democracy at work, or not. A friend of mine heard of a vacancy and a call for candidates to nominate. He put up his hand and fulfilled the requirements. He was then contacted prior to the election...

    Coaching preference for 2024

    Silverdale, in every thing I do, ethical standards are important to me. But when it comes to the NRL I believe that there are no genuine ethical standards. Basically almost anything goes or at least is forgiven. Contracts are regularly broken, drug takers and wife cheaters can become...

    Coaching preference for 2024

    CC, I am a little vague about the year now but I think the following conversation occurred in 2004. I was just leaving Jubilee Oval after a game when I bumped into an old mate. He said straight out that the Dragons were in trouble now with Doust as CEO. His reasoning: how could they appoint him...

    best wins at Kogarah

    Thanks so much for the video clip, Victoire. It was almost as exciting 19 years later. So many players to love from that era - Hornby, Blacklock, Cooper, Gasnier, Head, Thompson, Creagh, Timmins, Young, Riddell. My sincere apologies for doubting you on Jon Green.
