    Sack Griffin

    Appreciate the compliment mate but I just copy and pasted the Herald article lol.

    Sack Griffin

    I actually agree with this view: https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/why-the-dragons-have-made-the-right-call-making-griffin-reapply-for-his-job-20230321-p5ctzy.html In 2019, without informing coach Nathan Brown, the Newcastle Knights compiled a shortlist of potential replacements as part of an...

    Jai Arrow hammy injury as well apparently. Manly win this.

    Dragons V Sharks Round 4

    The Sloan and Sullivan tries v the Broncos have to be a blueprint for how we can get points against the Sharks: long pass from Liddle to Hunt, long pass from Hunt to Sullivan. Expansive to isolate Ezra Mam. Both times off quick play the balls about 5m left of the upright In the Sloan try Sua...

    Why is the NRL currently booming?

    You appear to have the same grasp of facts as Vlando himself. Penalties before the 40m line = not Vlandoball

    Why is the NRL currently booming?

    Such close games in 2021, how exciting. Games effectively over by the 50 minute mark. Thanks so much Vlandys. Within a year of changing the 6 again rule we've got tight matches and more entertaining games again

    Why is the NRL currently booming?

    It isn't. They watered down Vlandoball just enough to make it closer to rugby league again. Has made a huge difference

    Dragons V Sharks Round 4

    I forgot about Turner lol. He did play a bit of bench hooker for the Titans last year and tbh it wasn't flash. He's really a similar type to Mbye isn't he. A halves player filling a spot. Muhleisen is a hooker, and I think he played some lock in junior days, so he's a good defender. We need...

    Why is the NRL currently booming?

    The footy is better. Games are closer. Teams are trying things and working hard right til the end to win games.. instead of the 2021 Vlandoball 6 again era of carting up the field against fatigued defenders and falling over the line 10 times

    Toby Rudolf appreciation thread

    Recommend listening to the latest James Graham podcast ep, long interview with Rudolf. Very entertaining listen, had me laughing audibly in my car at one point. Even as a saints fan I can't help but like this guy

    Dragons v Broncos Rd 3 2023

    If Amone is still around (ie not in jail) both he and Sullivan will be more seasoned. Next year a transition of Hunt to DH might make more sense. We also have Zach Herring coming through. Or we could go to market. Hopefully a new coach is appointed soon and can start making these plans :-)

    Sullivan & Hunt halves: a potentially expansive attack

    It'd be nice, but we don't have the luxury of having Daly Cherry Evans and Cam Munster in the halves. We've got two still developing 21/20 year olds Gold Coast reached the finals in 2021 (and almost won their first final v the Roosters), then the following year they banked on a talented young...

    Dragons v Broncos Rd 3 2023

    Umm I've never said Amone wasn't the future at 6. Either your powers of comprehension are lacking or you're inventing things to be contrarian about.

    Dragons v Broncos Rd 3 2023

    lol you get your knickers in a bunch over people apportioning blame to Moses Mbye for a single loss, yet are in here blaming Hunt for seasons' worth of dud results? Plenty of players get picked in different positions for state and rep teams. Andrew Johns is a fkn Immortal and he played half of...

    Dragons v Broncos Rd 3 2023

    As good as Sullivan and Amone may be, it's rarely wise - and almost never successful - to blood two young halves together for extended periods. There's few better examples of this than our round 3 opponent, the Broncos. The best thing for Bud and Junior's development, but also best for the...

    Dragons v Broncos Rd 3 2023

    the tedious old contrarian has entered the chat. Whether Sullivan wears the number 6 or 7 is irrelevant - it's all about how the 6 and 7 function together as a unit to compliment the team. At this point in time the Sullivan/Hunt mix is the best combination accounting for each of the player's...

    Dragons v Broncos Rd 3 2023

    Yeah De Belin could help with that mix. I much prefer Jack Bird at lock for his ballplaying and footwork, but Bird needs the break and that could be a way to do it. Bring a prop on the field and move De Belin to lock until Bird returns.

    Dragons v Broncos Rd 3 2023

    They were good, but we obviously struggled to maintain it over 80 minutes. I think the issue is we may actually have too many big men, and lack at least one more mobile 80 minute forward. Brisbane have Capewell, Riki and, if needed, Carrigan who can play 80 - they even have the luxury of resting...

    Dragons v Broncos Rd 3 2023

    Hunt was MOTM in the Titans game... I think the two of them compliment one another well. I agree Hunt lacks that elite game management skills and makes some wrong choices with his kicking game from time to time but with some time Sullivan can take on more of those responsibilities. Hunt's...
