    NRL Nines Expectations

    9s really isn't a great indication of how he will go during the real season, but boy he does show plenty of promise. For someone who started playing league late, he has some pretty good skills and has a pretty good frame. If nothing else, the guy looks awesome in the red and white. Look at the...

    NRL Nines Expectations

    This. Far too much importance is placed on the trials. They are exactly what they say - trials. It should be an opportunity to trial some combinations and give the coaching staff an opportunity to work out a good team for the season proper - winning or losing is unimportant. This...

    Widdop confident partnership with Benji will lead Dragons to finals

    I am guessing with the CS the following weekend they won't want to be risking fatigue or injury either.

    Widdop confident partnership with Benji will lead Dragons to finals

    Thanks - that makes sense.

    Widdop confident partnership with Benji will lead Dragons to finals

    Yeah, I'm interested to see how some of the youngsters go. Given the numbers coming up here though, not sure we will get to see a whole heap of anyone. And damn it's hot up here at the moment so I would say they will be subbing players on and off pretty regularly. I for one wouldn't want to...

    Widdop confident partnership with Benji will lead Dragons to finals

    BV, do you know of anywhere where I can confirm this? I seem to remember Mary taking over when we were positioned 13th for some reason. NRL stats doesn't show last years details and I'm not sure where to look to confirm my suspicions.

    Widdop confident partnership with Benji will lead Dragons to finals

    Mate I have tickets and am looking forward to going. I'll try to give a run down on what I see when I get a chance. Actually I think this one will be a better trial to attend than the 9s. This game should give us a bit of an indication on how the forwards are settling in. The Cutters aren't...

    Adam Quinlan - granted relase to join Eels

    I agree bottle. I hate to see someone like Quinlan go - he got in and did the best he could during a pretty difficult time. Having said that, he doesn't really fit in anywhere in the current squad or moving forward. Hope he finds a spot over at the eels. I guess it also paves the way for...

    Is it online somewhere?

    Team Culture

    I'm not entirely sure it's the fact that people have differing opinions that is the issue here. I think it's the way people frame it. Using derogatory terms and strong language to get your point across, whether it is aimed at someone directly or not, automatically gets people offside. You...

    Marshall To Lead Dragons At Nines

    I said that because I do think we need more than someone who gets in and gets the job done on a personal level. And I'm not disagreeing with that - he does. And I'm sure that many players respect him and that in some situations that works a treat as motivation. But he is the leader of a TEAM...

    Marshall To Lead Dragons At Nines

    Well based on events at the end of last year, we now know where all of the destabilization at the Tigers came from. It's not just because he talks. There are obviously many components that make up a good leader, and I think Benji has alot of them. I've read many comments where people...

    Marshall To Lead Dragons At Nines

    As I said bottle, no qualms with him remaining as captain. And there is no way they would take the role off of him. I just think the team could benefit from having a different style of leadership on the field.

    Marshall To Lead Dragons At Nines

    Don't get me wrong, I like Creagh as a player and, from what I have seen in interviews etc, he seems like a nice guy. Longevity should count for something, but should definitely be second to leadership quality (afterall, you don't want to be accused of the 'boys club' mentality). Ben is doing...

    Marshall To Lead Dragons At Nines

    Both need to be focussing on their game - it's kind of a mute point. Everyone in the team needs to focus on their game. I just feel that Benji is a better leader than Creagh. It was just an observation, not suggesting that they should do it. As I said, I wouldn't have a problem if it did...

    Marshall To Lead Dragons At Nines

    To be honest, I wouldn't have a problem with Benji captaining the NRL team for the season. I don't think Creagh is the talker/leader we need on the field. Like the guy, but I think Benji will play a bigger role in directing the team than Ben will do. It will also leave Ben to concentrate on...

    Marshall To Lead Dragons At Nines

    I'm heading to the Mackay game next weekend. It should be good to see how the forwards aim up. The Cutters are taking this pretty seriously by all accounts so hopefully they will work the team that has been sent up here. I am not too concerned about a win or loss, I am just excited to see...

    Addin Fonua-Blake stood down by Dragons

    I don't think it's so much the timing of the signing that's a bad look, it's the AFB incident that could possibly now bring into question our ability to control players and rehabilitate them. The AFB incident would have done more damage than the Packer signing. Afterall, the Packer...

    Very latest on Mez

    A bit of a discussion with Mez on the site. It doesn't discuss his future with the club, but it does talk a bit about pre-season and shows a little bit of footage with them training... http://www.dragons.com.au/news/2015/01/19/merrin_named_in_nrl_.html
