Hey everyone,this is my first ever post although I have been a Dragons supporter since the early 50's and have followed Jubilee Ave and this forum for years.
I was so pinged off with yesterday's game - the non 40-20, the call that Jamie was making a play at the ball when ruled aginst him and Canberra feed, the tackle on the untackled opponent that led initially to the Raiders first try - there were bad decision on both sides but I feel those ones counted hard against us.
I am still also disappointed about our continued uninspiring game plan until its all too late.
My biggest concern however, and although I admire the player, is that Jamie just can't tackle. Why does he always go high. Give him some tackling practice please.
I know this might upset people but dare I suggest we drop him. Fein to half, Hornby at five-eight. I question if we can keep carrying Jamie as a defender as teams just keep attacking him more and more.
I know he contributes with goal-kicking but if he is still there, I'd love to see him run at the defence more - I'm sure there is a gameplan but we are just so boring and manageable at present, same as last year.
I have been a dragon fan all my life always will be and would love to see another premiership but it seems that, like last year, at the business end of the season, other teams have us worked out and we are so predictable. I'd like to see more of the Ben Creagh type of try from the other week against Easts.- some bright enterprising attacking play.
Anyway I'd like some constructive thoughts on what can be done with Jamie?
