    Coaching preference for 2024

    I’ve taken some time to process the Ryles debacle & in my opinion it has to be Flanno. He has some experience with us & has a proven track record. I don’t think Carr, Young or Hornby are ready yet. There’s no indication that Hasler has any interest & I don’t think McGuire’s tough approach suits...

    Next game vs the Wabbits

    Hopefully Toby Couchman comes in for Burns but not sure it matters if Souths play well we will struggle again.

    Ryles it is NOT - Rejects Dragons

    This is my only concern about Carr, he doesn’t have the experience to stand up to the board.

    Ryles it is NOT - Rejects Dragons

    Ryan Carr’s stock just went up.

    Panthers next.

    No Mbye so I’m happy with that!

    Ryles it is NOT - Rejects Dragons

    I’ll believe it once it’s official but having said that if true I’m happy with Ryles being handed the keys. He may be an old boy but he’s been out for 15 years so I don’t see this as a typical ‘job for the boys’ I think he’s been appointed on his own merit.

    MRC News on Dragons Players

    The Nokorima tackle could possibly lead to a penalty try but given that Bird did plant the ball I wasn’t shocked that the penalty try wasn’t given. But the Ray Stone tackle not getting penalised or placed on report is a disgrace. In my opinion that tackle was far more dangerous than de Belin’s...

    Round 13 - Dolphins

    We have a long turn around before playing Penrith Sunday night so Carr will finally get a few training sessions in after 2 short turnarounds. I hoping for an improvement next week.

    Round 13 - Dolphins

    Strap Mbye to the bench, Liddle is our most enterprising player

    Round 13 - Dolphins

    We are very much in this game only down by 6 at halftime. If we play all the way to the 80th minute again we might pip them.

    Round 13 - Dolphins

    You have to admit the never say die attitude the team has under Carr is a huge turnaround

    Coaching preference for 2024

    I have no recollection of Ryles ever being captain, there were a lot of senior players in the team. But he was obviously an established rep player. Re his management style, he’s a rookie so there’s likely going to be some bumps in the road but all great coaches started off as rookies.

    Coaching preference for 2024

    Seams to me that Ryles is being used a scapegoat by Robbo to justify their poor season so they want him out. I see a lot of upside with Ryles I’m very comfortable with him being given the keys. Sure there are risks but risk also brings rewards. Like everyone else I couldn’t give a rats about...

    The Roosters are just having a sook because Ryles has the audacity to want to leave for greener pastures.

    Coaching preference for 2024

    I was just about to post this. Bringing on Ryles this year to set up his department would be the ultimate scenario. Definitely hit the ground running in 2024.

    How many more lives does this have?

    Re signing players, there’s rarely any action during the origin period so we have some time.

    Round 13 - Dolphins

    JdB might be an idiot & a degenerate but he always gives it all for the Dragons. Besides he wasn’t found guilty so there’s no reason for him not to captain the side, he’s a senior player & he’ll step up.

    Round 13 - Dolphins

    I look at it this way, we are currently dead last so any game is going to be with a team above us! Anyway win or lose I’m looking for another whole hearted effort & I’ll be happy. I’m expecting de Belin to play 80 minutes & make 50 tackles.
