    Sack mcgregor

    Friday, August 14, should be regarded as a momentous day in the history of the St.George-Illawarra Dragons. Accordingly, as a former historian trained to consider all available evidence before calmly presenting a balanced account, I would like to present an objective overview of Mary's tenure...

    2021 - Squad, Signings, Re-signings

    OT, I agree it would take at the very least two seasons to plug the holes, to recover from the cancer that has been growing in the club during the last seven years. I share your disappointment with Fuimaona who I thought showed promise initially. As the season has progressed he has been less...

    Round 10 vs Bulldogs

    Samy, I thought there was definite improvement in Saab today. I have enjoyed Jordan's whole-hearted efforts and love his humility but that shoulder charge coming back from suspension was really disappointing. I would give Saab a protracted run at the position to gain confidence and prove...

    Round 6 v Titans

    Belta, firstly I agree with you that in the Mary era every win must be cherished without too much quibbling over its details because we don't know when the next one will come. Neither of us knew what to expect yesterday - well what did we get? For me, a decent first half carrying on from the...

    Round 6 v Titans

    Belta, I can understand your lack of conviction over what sort of performance the boys will produce. It's a bit hard trying to analyse the season to this point. But for me they did enough in the first two games to win both except for the constant handling errors. I suspect that sitting on those...

    Round 6 v Titans

    Like so many others on here, OT, I wish you a speedy and successful recovery. All of us who can recall a little of the Glory Years have the occasional issue to face at our age. Thankfully we have a top health system to hep us through. Try not to waste time responding to Muzby. Those who love to...

    Round 5 v Sharks

    M.Lane, As far as I am concerned Clune has not previously played NRL because he has not been given a chance. Last year in CC he was so clearly the star not Mary's replacement pick of "Daz". Mary, being Mary, ensured Clune saw little ball vs the Dogs last week which contributed to the loss...

    Round 5 v Sharks

    OT, I have not read every post since the game - have you attempted to evaluate what you wrote before the game? For what it's worth here's my response: * More ball to Clune, but still not enough. Fascinating to see that with Clune's superior kicking game on display both Norman and Hunt kicked...

    Round 5 v Sharks

    Read All About It: Today's engrossing instalment in the Dragons' ongoing and irresistible challenge for the Spoon has been brought forward by the NRL to 4.05pm on Nine by popular demand for one of the last sightings of Mary's head in a coaching box on free-to-air and by the Great Gus Gould's...

    Round 4 v Dogs

    Samy, There has been much talk on here about Mary's mates on the Board. If this is true it is time for them to be responsible and pressure him to step down with a deal that pays out this year's salary only. Tell him for the good of the club he must vacate the coach's box and leave his 2021...

    Dufty to Titans

    I have always wanted Dufty to succeed. Without him there is just no hint of speed in the team. I could even forgive him the spilt grubber last week that got us off on the wrong foot. That can happen to almost anyone except perhaps the very best. However I am less forgiving about the bomb he...

    Round 4 v Dogs

    Saint Pauli has written: Very very sad the hole this club has dug itself. In just 10 words SP has absolutely nailed it. No matter what happens today, no matter the length of Mary's future tenure, we must not forget those 10 words!

    Sack mcgregor

    Just read Andrew Webster's article in the SMH stating the Dragons don't have the money to pay out Mary. If this is the absolute truth, the Board should start a Go Fund Me, "Sack Mary" page. There would be no shortage of supporters willing to dig into their own pockets for $100 in the hope of...

    Round 4 v Dogs

    OT, I would have been happy to see your team run out next Monday but I did not find it till I looked up Mary's team so now have other issues on my mind. So just briefly I liked your greater emphasis on talented young players such as Sailor, Clune, Ford and Fuimaona. I can't comment on Saab only...

    Round 4 v Dogs

    DS, I am delighted that Clune has finally got his chance and I think it is far better that he comes in when he has a good chance to make a genuine difference and to cement a place in the side rather than an odd game because of an injury. From what I saw of him in the CC last year he ran the team...

    Round 3 v Warriors

    Hi OT. Don't worry, I think I have read every word you have posted since the lockdown. But two things have kept me from posting- 1. My Thai wife and stepdaughter are now with me so I have been on homeschooling duties during the lockdown. 2. I hoped we wouldn't get back on the field this year -...

    Round 3 v Warriors

    OT, I understand the point you make but to me it is a step forward not to select players just because they have recently been signed which has happened regularly under Mary. To my mind, the selections Rounds 1-3 represent an improvement from past seasons, even though we can make out a case for...

    Brittian, clune and Cody Ramsey

    OT, I reckon that there would be plenty of names he wouldn't know especially anyone outside the 17 who plays centre or is younger than 22. But it is part of Mary's culture to know all the nicknames- reckon he could rattle off the lot. After all isn't that what being an NRL coach is all about? As...

    2020 Charity Shield

    St.Jimmy. Never heard that before, so thanks for your contribution. But allow me to point out the Vichy Government only operated at the time of the Nazi occupation of France from 1940-44. Interesting to read that these right wing collaborators believed that Rugby League had socialist links and...
