    Round 13 v Dogs

    My sincere apologies to you, Tru. My post was meant to be poking fun at Mary's inane policy of selecting three captains. As I recall the initial move by coaches to choose two captains was a result of the likelihood of one captain spending time on the bench. Mary is the first as far as I know to...

    Round 13 v Dogs

    DSlayer, Absolutely brilliant! Only sad that I didn't think of Euan myself. A perfect fit - as one of Mary's special boys he fits the bill perfectly. No wonder Mary has been picking him all these years. It certainly hasn't been to shore up the left side defence! With at least another suitable...

    Round 13 v Dogs

    TruSaint, I am sure that you have the team's best interest at heart. But have you considered the fact that we are already missing one of our 3 captains, James Graham? If you rest Tyson, another of our captains, we will be down to a solitary captain. How would McInness cope? How would the team...

    Reece Robson

    OT, I think the point you make about the broadening of the finalists from 4 to 8 is an excellent point in terms of the lowering of expectations. I think that an analysis of the 8 finalists system would reveal that the 8th placed team never deserves to make the finals and sometimes neither does...

    Reece Robson

    Crush, I take no offence at your label. In fact there are some advantages in being an old man. For example when I am in the country I get a concession so I don't have to pay so much to watch what the Dragons serve up. And the long years of my life give me a greater perspective on what Dragons'...

    Round 13 v Dogs

    OT, I am a little bit worried about you. What you wrote is just too close to Mary. They haven't started cloning Supercoach, have they? But please note it's not "Matt" but "Duft" and never "Norman" but "Normy"! Have you got the shaved head look and your own jet ski? Gotta get a laugh here and...

    Round 11 vs Sharks

    Miller, if I wanted to criticise the coach today I would simply be asking why this is the first game that Robson has played this year. He added some spark and enthusiasm to the attack, a spark we could have done with all season. While my second question would be why do we have such little...

    Sick off this

    Gareth, I was aware that Robson was a talented dummy half but had no idea he would be so effective in the back row. He would have made a difference if picked from Round 1.Clearly it took a desperate situation for Mary to give him a run so you may well be right about tgevteam for the next game. ...

    Blake Lawrie re-signs with Dragons

    Blake Laurie is probably the only junior in Mary's time whose transition to NRL has been well managed. A real contrast to blokes like Host, Sele, Field, Zac, Luc and Robson, to name a few. At least Luc has now had enough opportunities to begin to show his wares. What about Zac? Will he be...

    McGregor Lost The Sheds??

    Thanks, OT. I appreciate your time and thoughts. As you may have picked up I have been out of the country since Rd 2 so I have not been able to watch CCup so feel at a disadvantage but they have been consistently racking up points. On that point I had to laugh when in Mary's Press Conference he...

    McGregor Lost The Sheds??

    Hi Old Timer. Would you do a fellow long term Dragons' supporter a favour? 1. Please ignore the coaching issue just for the moment. We all know that is Problem No 1. It's all been said on here while the inferior intellects on the Board continue to back Mary all the way with an early extension...

    Team List Tuesday

    Crush, I can recall many positive posts from you so your dejection which I share is a certainly a sign of a Dragons' low point. I cannot recall a Mary Press Conference in which he looked so red-faced and seemingly lost for answers. No doubt Mary continues to believe he picks the best available...

    Team List Tuesday

    West Coast, I am very happy for Garrick to get his chance at Manly. The disappointing thing is never having a chance with the Dragons. I probably saw him play about 7-8 times in JF and NSW Cup. I didn't find him especially impressive for a junior Rep player but in the last game he played for...

    Corey Norman??

    Frankly, St Phil, if Sibo had not made contact with his head first his swinging arm would have knocked Norman's head off!

    Round 8 vs Eels

    No problem, Getsmarty. I think your line that "I personally don't get it.... " would be shared by the vast majority of supporters on this Forum. I had great hopes for change with Brian Johnstone's return to the CEO role but that hope was dashed when we got another premature re-signing.

    Email to Greenberg

    Generally I think the standard of refereeing is higher and more professional especially amongst the top blokes like Cechin compared to the old days of refs like Pearce, Page, Bruyeres and Hartley. Usually the 50/50 calls even out over a game or a season. However I thought the refereeing in the...

    Round 8 vs Eels

    Get Smarty, I marvel at the time you put into keeping us as well informed as possible and thank you most sincerely for your efforts. You would be amongst the last in this Forum with whom I would want to quarrel. I understand fully your frustrations with Mary and his regular and premature...

    Round 8 vs Eels

    I am no Mary supporter as many of my anti-Mary posts would show. However for this game I don't intend to lay all the blame at his feet. It hardly seems to be worth the effort given his 2 year extension. The players must take responsibility for simple errors and lack of awareness. Mary did bite...

    Team List Tuesday

    Dennis, With all due respect, trying to understand Mary's logic is a dangerous and potentially mind-numbing activity. To me there was no need for thought at the start of the season. Zac was the incumbent centre who had proved himself through the tightening of the right defence his inclusion...

    Team List Tuesday

    Coming from you, OT, your compliment has given me a real lift. In a world where we have to confront terrorism, bigotry and increasing political discord in our own country we should all be looking for common ground. Amongst Dragons supporters there is room for healthy exchange of thoughts but...
