Blow up in dressing rooms

[denis preston]

I thought it was to buy a top line English prop but as it turns out it was not. So, ask Mr Millward what he did with Thompson's salary and the surplus salary cap he had for 2018.

Poss, he was talking about Lance Thompson . Put your Millward Voodo doll away !

Nope, he was referring to Joel.

Continue on voodooing.

Can he talk?
I read that Graham did 3 runs and under 30 mts for entire match.
Deplorable if true

We did not have the ball for more than 3 sets his first spell and when we had the pill in his 2nd stint bloody mary had him and job playing as half and hunt getting the ball flat footed out wide in the right corridor

Whilst true, he was giving it to his team mates left right and centre. Obviously didn't alter the outcome but can't hate a bloke for trying. At least someone had something to say to the sinking ship, not that anyone listened.

And yet more examples of:
1. Players not being prepared for key games especially last Sunday Bloody Sunday event
2. James Graham been at the club 5 minutes yet has Captain written all over him - make it official.
3. New recruits who either don’t know or care about Club history when it counts / they have no idea with attention span of a gold fish.

I appreciate your thoughts. But where is the competitive drive and determination, I don’t want to see sore losers but I don’t like not seeing anything. We need winners, guys holding themselves accountable and putting it all out there.

Herbert is in the 21 this week, and whilst it weakens the ISP's qualifying final team it would send a serious message to that smug little so-and-so.
Drop him and play Herbert would send the right message of ship up or ship out.

Yeah make Jimmy Capt Coach WTF - anything to get them fired up.
Perhaps that's the de facto state of play anyway?
I'm thinking the dressing room was lost a long time ago

I cannot believe the commentariat have not suggested Mc FFS's sacking!
Perhaps I've missed something?
What's he offering Kent & Co? Free paint jobs - or another kind?
A media suck up that's weirder by the day

The points drought begins and ends with slow centres failing to create enough line breaks or backup.
Scoring points & scoring early builds confidence - and that's the issue IMO

As for Dufty, one can only say that Cook, Bird, & Hastings reportedly had attitude & were moved on, so the Club has low tolerance for dickhead behaviour. I like his Xfactor potential & his running style reminds me of Munster
But
I'd stick him on the wing & put Herbert at FB this week - especially if he was disrespecting JG
Widdop should return at fullback if changes in the backline work this week

Yeah true but listen to his summation ... it's spot on !!!

 

[Dragon Blood]

and what was the coach doing?

He was having several beers with Vaughn out the back of the shed. Then he offered Vaughn a lift home cos he cant drive due to the busted foot.
He is so thoughtful hey.

Graham should be captain. Full stop.

 

[j0nesy]

Sadly, the Club might show him the door for being too passionate.

Really? Where has that come from?

 

[This Year?]

When I clicked on the link I was disappointed the video was gone. Was is X rated?

The land of satire.

Haha. Ok, missed that

I think the last player who did this was Joel Thompson. It was last year, same venue. We were playing against Newcastle and the team were putting in a woeful effort. And just like last Sunday at Kogarah, the crowd booed the team off at half time.

The major difference was that this blow up from Thompson (apparently) lifted the team, and we saw a reversal of fortunes in the second half. Down 28-10 at half time, Saints scored 22 unanswered points in the second half to win 32-28. It was one of the great comebacks at Kogarah.

Perhaps Jimmy Graham should have got stuck in at half time. We'll never know if he did or not. But would it have made any difference? Quite frankly, what I saw in the first half last Sunday was worse than what I saw in 2017.

What we do know is that Joel Thompson, a player with so much passion and will-to-win, was not rewarded with a captaincy. Instead, he was shown the door and ended up at Manly.

Thompson didn't deserve to be our captain. He doesn't even deserve to be in our starting team this year. Sims and Lucky are both better than Thompson.

Luc has yet to get to Thompson’s ability or toughness and is still a marshmallow in defence
Many wanting to be wax lyrical about big Luc on the back of a couple of good games.
Yes he is improving but his best has been more cameos of what good attacking skills he has rather than 80 minutes of consistent footy in both attack & defence.

The link I clicked didnt work - copy/pasting article below if others have same issue.

Whether its true or not, elements of truth etc... who knows.

The Dragons have been plunged further into crisis mode with reports of a dressing room blow-up after last weekend’s thrashing by lowly Canterbury.

Wide World of Sports has been told there was an angry confrontation between senior player James Graham and young gun Matt Dufty as the players came to terms with the shock 38-0 loss to the Bulldogs.

The loss was the Dragons’ fourth in their last five games and Graham - a gritty British battler - was fuming at how Dufty and several other young players didn’t seem to take the gravity of the situation seriously enough.


"A few of the young guys were sitting around, looking at their phones and grinning after the game and it didn’t sit well with James," a Dragons insider told Wide World of Sports.

"It didn’t get physical or anything like that … but there were some angry words said and the atmosphere was very tense

Lowly Canterbury.......I like that

I would take Lucky over Thompson right now.
