    Damned if you do and damned if you don’t

    I agree that if we start calling for Griffen's head on a platter this soon, no one will want to come coach here. On the other hand, while it was a long time ago, the climb from 3rd last 1990, and being a rabble, to come in and be in the top 5 all year only missing finals due to last round loss...

    More Dragons drama as Tristan Sailor looks for exit

    If Sailor goes and Norman stays, to me that's the final confirmation that this club is deliberately being torn down from within from a mix of in-compotence and skull-dugury. Don't think I could support another team, might just follow individual players from now on. I don't mind a period of...

    What Position Did You Play?

    Primarily in both League and Union inside centre and fullback. Having said that from age 16yrs onwards I have played every position in both codes except front rower, though I did fill in at hooker for injury cover but doesn't count in my book. Best position Inside Centre. Was ok as a running 5/8...

    2020 Squad Analysis

    Andrew Johns sums up the extent of the problems we have at the moment with the squad, playing style and no matter who we purchased from elsewhere, the best thaf would do is give us a some more short term false hope. Player wise, we need to pick out by year's end a framework of a team from the...

    Ben Creagh article

    Yes I did hear Brown address it in interviews how he told it too his players. It was before a game against the Storm in Melbourne 2006. Ryles took it too far in the game and got sent off. I agree about the player respect thing when you are talking about ones who played alongside him but truth be...

    Factional alignment between STG & Illawarra tanking team over power struggle

    There are a few players we let go not signed else where. I'm saying it now but if any of them end up in either a tri colour or the less likely a chocolate colour jersey we will know exactly how it happened, Phill Gould. He has done it before and I am deeply suspicious why someone unattached to...

    Ben Creagh article

    Sure, then change would for could and you have quoted Creigh correctly. If your longing for Bennett, think about why he doesn't take on clubs who haven't already go a good roster. It's coz he would fail. Brown got us to equal first in 2005 '(2nd on F&A) then made the hard decisions. Bennett...

    Factional alignment between STG & Illawarra tanking team over power struggle

    No secret their has been power struggles between the St George and Illawarra camps. New owners have come in and made apalling decisions. I am even suspecting some on the Merged entity Board have desires to de-merger, but haven't got the numbers yet. So next best option is to make us tank so...

    Matt Dufty

    None, nor passing. Resume on paper would lead anyone to say winger

    Matt Dufty

    I am now able post my reply after falling down laughing about Dufty being a 5/8. He has talent, played very well doing his thing, which is speed and some level of anticipation to support a forward or a half who made a break. If I was really honest, with the time he has been in FG, no doesnt...

    Ben Creagh article

    I just read it twice, still didn't find anywhere that Creigh said we (presumably the Dragons Team not just himself even though that is the only criticism he made at all). Your interpretation, could be right about Briwn, but Creigh didn't say it in this article. He's a university professor so I...

    Signings for 2020 and future looking team

    Ryan and Smith would not be directly coaching. Age wise, Gould as I understand it will be taking the role and as coaching director. That is not a hands on role, more an oversight and advice role. I would have them before Gould any day

    Signings for 2020 and future looking team

    Regarding Don't like Brown ?there is always keeping Mary there. Plus the NRL won't let Flanno be head coach so Brown is now free agent. Brian Smith I can tell you will fix the culture issue that allowed the situation JDB is in to unfold that would be his role

    Signings for 2020 and future looking team

    Field is good under the high ball, good kicking game, sound defensively and has ball skills. Pace and instincts on par with Dufty and under good coaching Field will show his full potential. Dufty is skills wise a winger that can rove in the way Blacklock played .Dufty can't tackle, nervous under...

    Signings for 2020 and future looking team

    Here would be my squad and choice of coaching squad. If we had all those people (minus or plus one or two in bottom half of top 30) we would win at least one premiership in next two years then Flanno takes Head Coach , Smith and Ryan make way for Brown as Coaching Director First Grade Best Team...

    Signings for 2020 and future looking team

    I don't think we need a spending spree on star players. I would go after only one player, Jack Bird and the best available young up and coming lock forward and a center, no other established stars besides Bird and the two young back rower and center are to potentially cover Bird should he not...

    Elephant in the boom

    Read this article regarding how a draft implementation would play out https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/ANZSportsLawJl/2006/5.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwix2f-hj47lAhUVT30KHYM0AcIQFjAAegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw3RXM_bnxj3H_4QJZ8F9D1H

    Elephant in the boom

    A few points about some of the responses on here. I wasn't alive then but Dragons domination in the 1960's was done within the rules of that time. Money was then and is now what most contributes to success. The difference now is that one club, Roosters are using their financial advantage, in a...

    Elephant in the boom

    Despite the continued insistence otherwise, it's very clear that the salary cap is both poorly designed, as well as poorly policed. The Melbourne Storm 2010 and Canterbury Bulldogs 2002, were stripped of titles for cheating the cap. Neither were discovered by Ian Schubert, yet he continued in...
