    Current State of the NRL

    Low crowd numbers have nothing to do with the product at all, this is reflected in the TV ratings which are strong. I might be on my own, but I blame the fans rather than the NRL. The NRL is doing what it has to do as a business by taking games to ANZ, and you can get tickets fairly cheaply...

    Why aren't we making profits?

    Melbourne Heart's revival has more to do with Orlando Engelaar making his debut midway through the season after being out with injury.

    What the fans can do to stop the rot.

    What can fans do? Show up to the games and get behind the team. Current NRL crowds are low enough without passionate fans going missing because their team isn't winning. The boycott which has been proposed will only lead to decreased revenue for the club, decreased team morale, and gives us...

    Red V - Player of the year votes

    I voted for Soward. It would be a good way to protest how he was shown the back door by the club.

    Favorite Shoulder Charge Of All Time?

    You are kidding right? This illegal tackle was no better than an old fashioned swinging arm and is probably the catalyst for the ridiculous opposition to the shoulder charge. He used little to no technique at all and the shot to the head was the result. A properly executed shoulder charge into...

    Quote of the Year!!

    He mentioned through out the article that coming 9th was below the standard that the club sets for itself. There is no doubting the Dragons goal for the season will be top 8 but he just wouldn't want to be putting any pressure on the team. Anyway, when put it in context, I believe he was talking...

    Nightingale: Beale Is The Real Deal

    Still not sold on Beale. I'm looking forward to see how he goes at fullback, linking up with the other outside backs, under the high ball, his support play etc.

    Rumoured Jerseys for 2013

    I would prefer the away jersey remain the same. Although my pet hate in the Dragons fan base is when people try to cause division by talking about people as Steelers fans or old St. George fans, it is nice to have a jersey that represents the Illawarra side of the merger. I'm sure though that it...

    Joey Johns named 8th immortal

    The awards are given out for what a player achieved on the field. He is the greatest player I've ever seen and I think he deserved Immortal status.

    Ben Hornby - Assistant/Head Coach ?

    If anyone, I believe Young will be the one most likely to enter the coaching ranks.

    Expectations - 2013

    Not expecting much at all from 2013 different from this season, unless there are some sneaky signings to come. Weyman missing has not been talked about much in the media but I think this is massive for us as he is one of our most influential players. He will make a difference next year but I...

    Trent Barrett leads call for Soward

    Obviously never met Soward, but from all we've heard he seems like the kinda guy who would respond more favourably to a pat on the back as opposed to being dropped to reserve grade. Someone needs to show him a highlights package of his 2009/2010 form to remind him of what he can do and give him...

    Tyson Frizell

    He actually has had a few people talking him up as the 'next big thing' for the Sharks. Should be a good signing I reckon.

    Impact of Cronk Offer On Dragons' Future

    Keep the back three as it is, Green/C.Stanley to partner Cooper in the centres, K. Stanley and Soward in the halves (assuming Hornby is retiring) we have amazing forward depth to cover Scott and Young if he retires. I don't see the need to buy anyone else, especially now we have discovered how...

    So many people want to go to NRL games...but....

    The atmosphere needs to come from the fans. Supporters from each individual club need to get together, mobilise, liase with their club and start building culture and traditions for themselves. The Dragon Army is decent at this in terms of songs, the giant jersey etc. but there is still a lot of...

    How do Dragon's fans feel about Bennett?

    It doesn't seem too ethical and I was upset at first, even more so recently when Scott left with C. King on the verge, especially given that he said that he wouldn't tear our club apart (I think he is using the draft/trade window debate to distract people away from this) But we can't hate and...

    Dean Young - Backrow

    With the exception of injury, Young will never get sacked. He played great on Thursday, as he did throughout 2011. Without even looking at his individual performance though, he is a huge leader and his presence has a massive impact on the team. Prior is the forward who has to worry about his...
