3 straight losses no changes.

The footballer or the forum member?


If it’s the forum member, definitely so.....

But you don’t want to go there..

No fear - definitely thinking of the former footballer and administrator who oversaw the 11 consecutive premierships (12 in total, counting 1977), the building of the Taj, grooming and importing some of the finest talent to ever fill a jersey.

We could do with another one of them.

I think the vast majority of fans (not the ones on this forum) of not just this club but across the board may feel pain after a loss but don't have the gumption to analyse a loss, or properly consider the sad mediocratic state of the club.

I think that for most fans, their mind does not turn to the incompetence of the coach, or the incestuous nature of the board. A loss may hurt for a while but you can't win everything.

The amount of conversations I've had with fellow fans where the standard of coaching is not an issue at all for them is bewildering. Like people voting for a party but can't articulate one policy or sound reason as to why they vote that way. An attitude after the game of we might win the next one.

It's because of such apathetic fans that the board can run roughshod.

I think this is spot on.

There is pretty much 24/7 coverage of the ins and outs of rugby league, discussions and debate right down to what undies Cameron Smith should be wearing in his milestone match, yet none of these experts have really caught onto the fact that the once mighty St George is now a amateur boys club with a board and a coach who only serve their own interests. Panthers, for instance, get a grilling after one lean season and yet the Dragons, and most notably the coach, seem to escape any criticism even after all these years.

The sack mcgregor thread is older than the Dragons careers of 70% of the current Dragons team. We, the passionate, have known about it for years. We've been tolerant but (and I speak for myself, I know) I think I will be lost to the game very soon. I'm not a blind follower. I am no idiot.

I'll take a board that holds their playing and coaching staff accountable to start with. A board that actually cares about success. Then we can get real about talking about premierships.

No players dropped and no plan B .

What did you expect from L plate !!! A backbone I think not.

 

[possm]

That Mary hasn’t got the mouse or balls to say “not good enough lads” and drop a few is telling and confirms his status as a poor coach.

Mary could make the following changes and improve performance immediately:
Pearson for Rava
Aitken for Timm
Latimore for Kerr
K Sims for Host

 

[gitano]

Yeah only natural after missing Widdop, Korbin, Friz, Norman, JdB at various stages this year that mass changes is the only way to go.

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

Someone please inform “that sky writer” his services are needed urgently.

Sack McIdiot!

In the interim, it’s time to bring out the old “Oust Doust” signage and update it with the “coach’s” name.

 

[j0nesy]

Yeah only natural after missing Widdop, Korbin, Friz, Norman, JdB at various stages this year that mass changes is the only way to go.

That’s definitely part of the problem. But honestly how can you support the continued selection Lats over Kerr or Timm? Surely Rav is skating on thin ice.

 

[denis preston]

Surely we could have left out Latimore and Ravalava Bring on Kerr and Pearson. I also think Aitken needs a rest.
3 losses in a row, and no sign of anything changing. Really disappointed about this.
Not sure we have a coach and assistant coaches to get these guys up vs Knights.

WTF are the assistant coaches doing ?? Obviously no input into the Latimore,Rav,Aitkin debarcle or else are they of the exact same brain structure as the coach ? Surely not more than one person can do what Mary has done to this team.

 

[jeffdragon]

Eels resign coach after getting beat by 54.

 

[SaintPeter]

Cant wait to see Aitken misread the play again
James Graham play (stay on) until he cant walk
and all our bench players stay there until its too late!

Keep it going Mary .. you idiot.
sorry,,, rant over.

Eels haven't won a premiership 35 years and now you can see why. Let's face it, there's 16 teams going around but only 3 or 4 that have coaches at this current time that can actually take a team all the way.

The Eels who have been given a new stadium once before, are gifted a new stadium again which is capable of holding 40k of fans even though they are bottom dwellers. No proposal to upgrade Kogarah Oval or Wollongong, why? We need professional management more than ever these days.

Most people are calling for minor change,not mass.
Such as Latimore & not having a centre on the bench.

If we get anothet lose next weekend - 4 in a row
Maybe
We ALL front up to training (sit on the hill) and demand discipline.
They won't miss our point then - knowing they ignore any comments in these forums
That might wake up our sleepers who masquerade as WELL PAID first grade footballers

I think it best if as many as possible fans rock up to the Taj at peak business hours say 7:30pm and gather at the front door chanting and heckling for change of the coach, change of management.

Organise for someone to fund ads on WIN TV suggesting the new ownership arrangement is bad for the future of our Club.

Of course alert Club management we will be doing this and alert the media about this protest.

I think this would create some interest from management and the media.

You are correct with your analysis/statement rednwhites.

Hate to say it, but I cannot see any team outside the Roosters, Souths, Melbourne or Canberra taking out the premiership this year. Dragons- no hope. There has to be consistency to make the 8, but even more consistency to make the top four. There is simply not enough class in the backs overall, and the forwards are under performing. Sure there are injuries, but the better teams are able to cope with that scenario adequately. My pick (hope i am wrong). is 11th place this year. The long term injury to Widdop and the de Belin fiasco have had a huge impact on the season so far.
