Leilua is not ready for first grade. Field is a gun and deserves a spot Rd 1. Defence is freaking ABYSMAL!

No teamwork, no team spirit just individual brilliance from Field and Dufty.
Good try to Thompson
Good cover tackle from Aitken. Maybe play Aiken at lock with De Belin to Cutters.

Game 2, Full time.................individual brilliance was great, but when it comes to a team effort, Mac%^ckwit reigns supreme! Good on ya Dousty, you have such a legendary football brain!!!!!!!!!!!!! What A CEO we have, keeping an absolute tosser as head coach, that everybody without exception knows would struggle to be a janitor at the Leagues, but oh no, Doust doesn't sack him!!!!!!!!! Thanks for 2017 Doust, should we all follow netball for 2017 and wait for the Dragons GAP year to be over?!

Aitkens defence was outstanding in both games. Deserves a regular spot in FG.

Back to playing Dragons footy again. One out running, no organisation , soft defence = long winter.

I know it's "only the Nines" but this is also the results of three months off season training.

The upside - Field will be a champion in a good side - not sure if this is the side. McInnes looks promising. And Jacob Host looks good, and finally thank god for Aitken's defence. He needs to be in the side but not in the centres - lacks a good passing game and never going to worry any side in broken play., Milne definitely, but not sure who his partner should be.

Unless they stiffen up their defence pronto a couple of try scoring wizards aren't going to save us.

Defence was embarrassing, JDB was lazy - wouldn't see Friz give up a chase, so was McInnes. Havilli not a first grader, nor is Nona, FFS!!!
Lelulia, Milne, McDonald not 9's players and looked ordinary but promising.

We're an absolute Mess in D and A.

We have to make room for Field and Dufty on this early form, hope they do this well in the trials with 13/13.

Going to be a long year.

Poor handling by Milne and Thompson.
Leilua not up too scratch as poor tackler missing three try scorers and terrible fitness. Poor goalkicking. Mary needs to learn from this atrocious form but I doubt if he will. Not that impressed with MacDonald who plays more like a centre. Very disillusioned with the threadbare defence especially
Leilua who let in about three tries.

Newsflash
Whilst it was thought that all personnel were lost including the entire NRL squad the club report that the pilot and co pilot Doust and Mc Gregor parachuted to safety
The club was non committal when asked how many parachutes were on board but did state whilst it was a great tragedy all round they could report that Doust and Mc Gregor stated their intention to stay on and help the club during this most difficult time and 5 year rebuilding plan
