    Coach Flanno

    Bring back Gallen, Wade Graham and Luke Lewis; they are the types of players I remember his sharks teams by.

    Coaching preference for 2024

    I agree these things don't make sense at all; but I come to a different conclusion that he believes the club is such a basket case, that without his "required" set of conditions, he feels there is a very high risk of him failing and taking a major dent to his reputation. So its not worth it. Be...

    BBQ time, Griffin is gone!

    Wonder if Lomax and Blocker's hook impersonations can make a come back now

    2023 R12 Fri - St Geo Illa 24-22 Sydney @ Netstrata Jubilee / Bidjigal

    And just after they shortened Ryles contract.

    And then it got worse!

    Tbf, this se4ason doesn't seem any different to me than the last couple of seasons apart from now we are losing the close games rather than winning them. Winning a majority of our close games against teams around us over the last couple of years, masked where we were at in reality.

    Coaching preference for 2024

    Great post, I think this rhetoric about needing an old coach who is highly experienced is not that important to me. The ideal coach is intelligent, has new ideas, good people management, lots of energy, can manage upwards and a strong vison/ambitions for the club who wants to lead for the long...

    Yep they wasted this year already knowing they didn't want Hook, but not willing to pay out his contract. This situation can create no other alternative than a poor season.

    Do the media believe Ryles is interested in the job?

    Post Bennett? Waite, the Easter Egg and Browny were nowehere near as poor as Hook. I had Price as the worst, but I think I am even more disillusioned under Hook. The recruitment has been terrible along with the way we are set out to play. In Price's defence, it was his first gig and he had to...

    Coaching preference for 2024

    Ryles all day long, a diverse range of experiences in highly professional environments in league and rugby. Easily best credentialed of any rookie, given that’s probably the way we will go, a rookie. Also the storm seem to think he will be good, so hence, it’s clear we can’t get him.

    Time to restructure the JV

    Agree the recruitment must have been doing something good at that time, given we had no money and kept losing our players, yet made a few grand finals. I was mainly talking long term prospects , recruitment couldn’t continue to make up for small crowds, small junior base that wasn’t growing, a...

    Time to restructure the JV

    I would suggest it's because we were so weak financially and maybe more importantly blindly aligned with the arl that we got hit so hard by super league. We all know when the competitions merged, the super league clubs ended up in a stronger position compared to teams that aligned with the arl.

    Ok but who do we have lined up? Doubt anyone at this stage, dragons are going to go through the longest recruitment process in NRL history to provide the optics that they have learnt from their past nepotistic practices. They have even reached out to Billy slater in Melbourne, what a thorough...

    Time to restructure the JV

    Yes because in the early to mid 90s, especially, we punched well above our weight on the field relative to off the field. But this is not sustainable over the long term. We had a lot of the same off field issues as now around league clubs funding, corporate support, a strong junior nursery...

    Time to restructure the JV

    I'm an original st george supporter but unless there were games in illawarra, what does st george offer? Why would they just become a feeder club (as possm suggested) like its some kind of privilege? We have the name and proud history that fans hold onto, but going forward, the stadium, leagues...

    Time to restructure the JV

    Just cause Steelers were total shit doesn't make St George any type of benchmark over their last 30 yrs ( two premierships) but agree it would require some games being played in the illawarra at minimum. And the decline off the field/boardroom was far more significant than what was happening on...

    Time to restructure the JV

    Why would steeler/illawarra accept that if you are suggesting all games are played at jubilee. What are they getting out of it? Being a feeder club to the great dragons name, that really hasn't been great since the 60s.

    Woods swap for Tuitavake

    Interestingly it's not too difficult to find young players wanting to leave dragons, how many have asked for a release over the past couple of yrs.

    We have continually had terrible for and against in Hook's reign. Always the team with the worse for and against with respect to teams in a fairly wide proximity of us in the ladder.

    Agree. Stories generally come out way too early at the Dragons; just think about “the hardest preseason ever” story that gets brought out in the media most seasons
