    Hunt pleading for time

    The response to Ben Hunt's words has been pretty fierce on here. Some comments on the need for effort and consistency are certainly valid. So too are those relating to basic shortcomings in play such as allowing bombs to bounce, the generally poor short kicking game, goal line defence and poor...

    2021 - Squad, Signings, Re-signings

    Good, balanced perspective, OT. While I can share the disappointment of others that we have not picked up any worldbeaters and agree with those concerned with the lack of depth in the backrow there are only two players that we have lost who contributed positively last year - Frizell and McInnes...

    Trials 2021

    OT, you have made some valid points here and in a later post. For me, I do hope posters grasp that all players will be working and trying very hard and do not make personally derogatory remarks. In a similar way I would like to see Dragons fans sticking together and recognising that we are just...

    Sitveni Moceidreke

    I agree with the positive comments about Moceidreke. What was especially interesting to me was to hear him barking out instructions from behind the defensive lines. It made me think of a couple of things - during Mary's years, there always seemed to be a lack of direction on the field, whether...

    Trials 2021

    The best sign of improvement for me tonight was the fact that as far as I could see the whole NRL squad was in attendance. I was shocked that I never saw Mary at a CC game other than when the NRL team was playing at the same venue and only saw first graders at finals time. Tonight a tick for...

    Cameron McInnes

    OT, Mary was asked how he was coping with the ongoing losses. He stated he must remain composed for the team. But it must have been so much harder for the journalists and the fans to stay composed listening to his pathetic drivel every week. Just such a pity that journos refused to ask him the...

    Sack mcgregor

    What happened to Mary "bleeds red and white"? Of course it's true he bled all of us fans dry!

    The Rumours Thread

    I reckon we could find the money for Smith the hooker but the added responsibility of refereeing the game as well would cost us more than we could afford.

    Round 1 2021 semi realistic sides

    I have been a Forum member for 4 1/2 years. In that time the subject with the least disagreement amongst posters has been that Mary was a disaster for the club. On that basis I believe that high profile, highly paid players who struggled under the imposter deserve the chance to impress under new...

    Round 1 2021 semi realistic sides

    Yeah, mostly rocks early in the season and mostly diamonds mid and late season before the temp coach booted him. Significant improvement with the high ball which was essential to his ongoing selection.

    2021 - Squad, Signings, Re-signings

    Great post, thanks OT. You have correctly pinpointed the uncertainty the club still faces until the court delivers its verdict. I have no desire to speak up for the club over this period. Yet I feel I should point out that we now have the advantage of hindsight which makes the club's handling...

    4 new Dragons on Legends Walk

    Nathan Blacklock is one of the few Dragons who I have had the opportunity to meet and one of my favourites. It was perhaps 5-6 years after he retired. He was speaking at a TAFE open day on the Mid North Coast. I was able to tell him that I was at Kogarah for his last game, that fantastic...

    Kaide Ellis signs

    Maxwell, after I wrote my post last night I should have added that last week while walking along the beachfront at Wollongong I bumped into Jordan Pereira. He was very generous with his time so I was able to have a good chat with him. He seems to be a lovely, humble guy, very well spoken. I did...

    Kaide Ellis signs

    Maxwell, I don't really want to compare Kaide to the Dragons forwards under contract. But I do want to say I think he did his best and showed potential to perform well with a full preseason behind him and under a more professional management than has been the case at the Dragons since the end of...

    2021 - Squad, Signings, Re-signings

    Possum, we have had 9 wasted seasons. As a result I do not anticipate a miraculous turnaround putting us on a level with the Raiders and Roosters in just one season, especially given the limited talent available on the open market. However now that we have finally gotten rid of the cancer in the...

    2021 - Squad, Signings, Re-signings

    Saints Forever, What I like about what you have done here is put together a team, with a number of subs for injuries, from what we currently have available rather than making up some case for some highly desirable but very unlikely additions. I have no doubt that with a qualified coach this...

    Round 20 vs Storm

    For the first time in 50 odd years of following the Dragons I was pleased to hear of one of our boys being suspended. And our highest paid player at that! Now at least we will get a glimpse of Sullivan and have a chance to see Clune with the opportunity to be more in control. I had no problems...

    The Rumours Thread

    I have not been as critical of Norman as most on the Forum. I certainly agree that his performances haven't warranted his salary rather than blaming him for many of our defeats. But after yesterday's performance I am joining the Sack Cory mob - what is the point of being experienced if you can't...

    Round 18 vs Raiders

    redv13, if the Dragons do get thrashed it will be out of character. They have had a remarkable ability(?) this season to play to a level just below their opponents resulting in many competitive losses. Had they played as well against the bottom teams as they played against the Roosters or the...

    2021 - Squad, Signings, Re-signings

    Well said, George. Host is one of those young players stuffed around by Mary. He arrived in the NRL with an impressive reputation from U/20s and NSW Cup and I thought was progressing nicely until Mary appeared to see something better in Sele who got more game time before being let go. Then as...
