An opinion on how to fix the dragons.

[nickdragons90]

Hi all, this is just strictly my opinion on how we can fix this once great club.
- recruit a new board and CEO
- recruit a new coach and assistants from outside st george.
- recruit big fowards with ability.
- revamp attack structures, offloading, support play. Better use of widdop and Merrin.
- revamp defence structures.
Release the following players
-hunt
-rein
- Thompson
- creagh
- Harrison
- Matthews
- green.
- invest in junior set up, and smart recruiting from other clubs.

Wrong mate ,most Dragons supporters have the same opinion as you.
But how you haven't named AhMau in that list is amusing.

Youll never get rid of Creagh whilst he's captain.

Rein has another 2 years to go I believe on his contract. They won't punt him. Same with Hunt.

Recruit big forwards with ability is nice. But from where? What forwards are out there off contract that meet our needs? We have potentially one of the best backlines in the comp but we either dont get space or f**k it up in some way. We have given up all but all home ground advantage too

The ability to build pressure is the key.and we have no patience nor discipline or confidence. This comes from attitude. Its a very sad state of affairs.

 

[St Georgio]

The bad smell of the current structures are still in place, so until we bring in Tony Smith and his own coaching staff, it wouldn't matter, who you drop or move on.

nick welcome aboard and good post.
Others wiser than I will tell you removing this board is like having root canal therapy.
Can be done with a lot of pain and anguish.

There is a distinction between members of the Leagues Club and Football club and a minimum requirement I believe of 3 years.

Willow, R2K and Father Ted have posted some very interesting articles on this site. I will dig them up for you.

The issue is that the 2 entities share common board members. Efforts by many in the past have been halted by last minutes assaults by the current board, however there are some very good souls here fighting the fight.

Recruit a new board?

Who exactly is going to do that? The boards lust for power is the reason we are screwed.

Totally agree Robbie. Its a huge challenge as history shows.
We can but try...

Unless the NRL step in the circle jerk will continue. Those in power will not step down or hire their replacements. Previous attempts to gain a seat on the board have been thwarted by the old boys club. The club is infested with self interested dinosaurs patting each other on the back. Doust had Bennett fall into his lap and it was a lucky opportunity that saw us win a grand final on Doust's watch.

Since David Waite was given the flick for the easter egg, the 'brand' has rode the coat tails of a good crop of juniors, with nepotostic decisions all the way. Only if we are lucky and get a strong and experienced coach will we see results; like Bennett who ran the football team and put the hangers on in their place.

 

[saints4ever]

The NRL wont step in unless we stop bending over for them. That's a big part of why they took their 30 silver pieces of silver.

The NRL will think we are good dogs

 

[friend10]

Who here rather Tim Grant over Benji Marshall.

We need big Kasiano. Boom boom - doggies bro doggies.

 

[saints4ever]

We need something that's for sure. Is it just one or two player swaps? Will that be enough? Something is seriously wrong with us

 

[coast_dragons]

Release Ben Creagh the only forward truly having a dig hmm okay.

 

[Damo!]

Hopefully we can keep following the Warriors lead.

1 Month ago they sacked their coach, we've followed suit. Today, their CEO has stepped down and they've announced they will not be moving any further games from their home ground.

The lengths the board go to, to stop u from voting and what they do to get votes in Election Day are criminal.

 

[The Commissioner]

Fix point 1, and the rest follow nick

Bingo

 

[dino2170]

get rid of the whole forward pack and replace them with the cutters forwards
