How many Premierships and SOO wins for Farrah and at times he has been playing some pretty good company? So why do some think he will be a messiah for us? All that would happen is he would look ok amongst an average team. Leave him where he is.
I don't think he is a messiah. I think of myself and V. I. Lenin as that and in my religion there can be only two. I do however think Farah will be a tremendous signing for the Dragons if it comes to pass. Actually the best I can remember if the Tigers are willing to pay half or more of his salary.
People keep talking Benji up as part of the "Spine" really??? How many bad kicks, missed tackles, bad last play options last year? Yes he did spark some attacks but let's be honest how effective were we at scoring tries? If we had a good attack we would have bolted into the semis not just fallen in. Reality is Beni just ain't what he used to be and if you say he will teach the younger blokes then do it in the Cutters.
You almost hit the nail right on the head but instead smashed it into your own finger. It's scary how bad the attack would have been without Benji and Dugan. If the one so many Dragons fans continue to talk up, Widdop, helped them, specifically Benji, out a little the team wouldn't have scraped into the semis but instead would have been top 4 or top 2.
That's hypothetical but no more than your own statement.
Benji was third for try assists in the competition in the team which scored the least tries..... What does this suggest to you? He also did it at first receiver collecting Reins passes from behind, a meter in front, at his feet and on the bounce.
We need a top class half either buy one or get a halves coach and develop one because that is the one position that has killed us for 20 + years.
Other people keep saying we need speed out wide whilst there is some merit in that for runaway and intercept tries what you really need are good finishers and that comes from good backline movements and that comes from centres making breaks and that comes from halves who create time and space and what do we have 2 specialist 5/8's. If you don't fix that the team will always be poor in attack.
They will do fine together as long as one of them accepts being the junior partner (like Morgan and NQ, Townsend at the Warriors, Green at Melbourne and etc) and stops trying to be the main playmaker supercoach Price signed him to be and who he constantly states he wants to be when it clearly isn't his game.
The hallmark of our once great club was good coaching, retaining juniors and blooding them into 1st grade, astute purchasing and ruthlessly moving players on when their time is up.(RIP Frank Facer). At the very time we had some players developing nicely we gave them Price as a coach no wonder Rein can't pass from dummy half what was Price ever going to teach anyone?
If you want to win premierships start treating this like a business, get the best coaching and support staff (Mary has good potential) , stop losing good juniors, stop buying pensioners has beens and never was's and stop keeping what have been great club men for a season too long.
I agree with that 100%. I would like to add stop buying the rejects from Melbourne and expecting them to be superstars for the Dragons.
