2025 Pre-Season Challenge - Trials

[possm]

Likewise. There are so many unknowns with this squad. I still think '25 will be a developing year for a better '26, so I'm not getting my hopes up too much. I do know that I will enjoy our wins just that little bit more though. That probably makes no sense at all I suppose.
Go you mighties!!

We have recruited wisely and well, securing talent and experience:
Gutherson
Lawson
Holmes
Ilias
Cook
Fifita
Lodge

And we have promoted some good young talent who may take a little time to hit their straps in 2025 but their lack of experience will be complemented with a very high level of enthusiasm.

The Couchman Twins
Tonga
Eagan

And then there are members from our 2024 top 30

Sloan
Suli
Flannagan
De Belin
Su'A
Leilua
Liddle
Molo

PS: Ask for Tesse the Tassel Twirler she’s probably still swinging them albeit probably around her ankles these days.

How was Tassie? You appeal to me as someone who frequently Twirls his own Tassel. Be careful....they say it's not good for your eyesight.

If it grabs your fancy here are the instructions

 

[innsaneink]

Have they organised tickets, kick off times etc?

 

[saintmar]

Are you and the Old Timer the one and the same?

No but the ones who make most sense because we want to WIN NOW not in 10 years
Maybe we are just the oldest

 

[saintmar]

Looks like we missed out on Lodge
So most of you can now accept 16th as a pass mark for next year.

It doesn’t need to be like this.
Get on board and hope for the best mate.
You won’t get any enjoyment from deathriding us to prove your point.

I’m not death riding Crush
I want to set the bar high and Win
I expect to win every game
I went to Melbourne to watch us play last year cause I expected to win and we did.
I don’t understand this negativity and lack of willingness to set the bar high.
Low expectations are a recipe for disaster
You ask bulldogs,roosters or Penrith and most other fans of clubs what they expect next year and they mostly expect a premiership
Shane Richardson, a proven winner said the other day he expects the Tigers to win the comp in two years.
I love that positivity it rubs off on the players because they have been put on notice
People on here don’t want to make people accountable for their performances
Every one at the club needs to be measured against the success of the club as a whole
That’s what the top clubs do and why they are so successful
‘Imagine if in 1956 the supporters were happy with coming 10th.History would have never been written for the Dragons
Aiming high is the only way you breed success in business and in sport and I come from a ruthless business background
‘Those who think I am death riding Flano in my eyes are scared he will fail and want this soft option crap.
So if you want enjoyment as you say let’s aim high and believe me you will see how much faster you get to success rather than this bullshit soft approach and low expectations which is a recipe for failure and a disaster.

You do realise what you and I think has no bearing on the outcome of the dragons performance yeah? Same goes for fans in 1956.

I would've been happy with 10 in a row instead of 11

There's a big difference between expecting and planning for great outcomes and setting the bar ridiculously high with expectations that are completely unrealistic.

It's like the fat, pimple-headed geek planning to lay the hottest girl at school. Barring a miracle, it ain't happening.

We are still that geek. We still have acne and fat rolls to lose before we can aim for the top shelf. We're lathering ourselves in Clearasil and are on the Man Shake's, but aiming for the prom queen will just leave you hot and bothered with your dick in your hand.

Maybe hope for something more attainable first before you set YOUR expectations too high...

Be 55 if you think making the top 4 is a miracle then obviously you have no faith in this squad or the coach
I actually want to win the comp but I’ll settle for top 4 as an ok year
I personally would go for the hottest girl regardless of my pimples and weight because she is the one I want
I won’t f**k around wasting other people’s time that I am not interested in or going around buying clearasil and man shake because I am a firm believer in where there is a will there is a way..

Top 4 an “OK” year, damn dude you do aim high.
Imagine we finish 3rd and being like meh, always next year…

Well Fox just showed the 2010 Grand final
The roosters finished last, wooden spooners in 2009 and made the grand final in 2010
That’s called a turnaround and setting your goals high
Obviously the last 14 or so years has rubbed off on most in here

That is how you end up as a beta orbiter. But don't worry, she'll look you up through Facebook when she's 35, tumbling off the carousel and hitting the wall, and her son needs a father figure (and she needs your six figures).

 

[saintmar]

I won’t be saying any more on this topic as we all have different opinions
‘Enjoy the season that’s about to start and hopefully we achieve whatever it is that you want to see the club achieve
