Suli selection baffles me. The guy has been hopeless. This guy is 100% looks like Tarzan plays like Jane category. Are the other centres at the club really that bad to warrant his selection?
Can only run in a straight line never seen him step ....... Easiest centre to defend against because he can't step you , if you get to him before he gains momentum ( he realise on power ) he won't go anywhere .........

Let's see how much blind optimism there is after this weekend. Broncos 30+
Is this some kind of defence mechanism that allows you to cope?
If we get flogged there will be a part of you that’s happy so you can come on here and say I told you so?
Also, is KingFlanno7 referring to the coach or the half?

I guess if somehow we do manage to lose by less than 30 or better yet, actually win the game, he can just keep posting as if he never said anything like you do. Learning from the best.

Hit the ignore button... Simple as that..some of you can't help but get your knickers in a knot when someone shares an opinion different then their own it's quite funny in all honesty.

It's not that people have different opinions it's that the same people go on and on about the same crap all the time, especially after a loss.
We all have the same thing in common which is we all want a competitive football side to follow. Most suggestions mentioned on this forum are correct but until we have an overhaul of the top office it will not change.
Yes we have a coach that has been previously found guilty of improper actions and also making wrong decisions with recruitment team selections and so on, but until the club changes its ways with top office management we are always
going to be inconsistent.
It doesn't matter who the coach is it will not change as they have no descent support in recruitment coaching assistants and third party agreements.
That's the main reason why the top candidates want to come and coach the Dragons...

Great, unfortunately you and most others didn't think or say this was an issue that would hinder Flanagan's coaching when he was appointed mate.

It is just being rolled out as another excuse now.

Flanagan could've asked for the same things Ryles did, he chose not to, that's on him and now he can bear the consequences and face up to more than warranted criticism.

You seem to only have one opinion. We have all heard it 100000000 times. WE KNOW.

Geez give it a break.
Buzz off back to your basement you follower. What was the point of writing that? Your all obsessed with me like I said before hit the ignore button and enjoy each other's blind optimism.

What is the point of anything you write? You are a parasite. Don't worry, ignore button has been hit.
By referring to you as a ‘follower’ I assume he has anointed himself as Leader?

Hahaha

If he thinks he is a leader, he should take a look at his post reaction LIKES. The same old like-minded Sycophants who think one course of action, sacking the coach, will solve everything without any supportive solutions. (After coach sacked).

That a leadership FAIL.

In this scenario I'd take “Follower” as a compliment

I follow the Dragons and that still allows me to be both critical and optimistic. I don't need him dragging the tone down every post, on every thread, with his one agenda.

Trust me- you will appreciate the ignore!

Let's see what Chat GPT has to say about all of this:

Toxic Negativity: A Case Study in Forum Behaviour​

Welcome to the weekly seminar on Advanced Misery Studies, where a select group of forum members conduct groundbreaking research into how to support a football team while hating everything about it.

Key research findings include:
  • The team is always poorly coached (regardless of who the coach is).
  • Every player is either lazy, overpaid, or both — unless they leave, at which point they were "never properly used."
  • Winning is rarely a sign of competence, but rather an anomaly not to be trusted.
  • Optimism is a clear sign of low IQ.
This form of posting is often labelled “critical analysis,” but more accurately resembles emotional venting in a pseudo-intellectual wrapper.
Let’s be clear:
  • Genuine critique identifies strengths and weaknesses.
  • What’s happening here is a negativity monoculture, where no outcome is good unless it confirms your pre-existing despair.
For those engaging in this behaviour, we suggest reflecting on the following:
  1. If every season is the worst season of all time — is it the club, or is it your coping strategy?
  2. If every coach is terrible — perhaps you're less of a student of the game, and more of a doomsday enthusiast with Wi-Fi.
  3. If your only joy comes from being proven right when the team fails — congratulations, you’ve transcended fandom and entered the realm of emotional short-selling.
This isn’t intellectual honesty.
It’s just a fancy way to say “I’ve emotionally divorced this club, but I’m not ready to leave the group chat.”

You are, in effect, the academic equivalent of yelling “I TOLD YOU SO” during a house fire — correct, but profoundly unhelpful.

Let’s do better. Or at least complain with some nuance.

In an effort to be fair about things there is a lot of things I can acknowledge and almost live with emphasis on almost
Poor roster
Poor admin
Injuries
Players form
Over estimation of players ability
Team selection & bench usage

But there are 3,things that really piss me off to the max

Poor fitness levels
Repeatedly doing the same dumb shit game in game out
Poor game management in clutch plays.

If we fixed those 3 things just maybe some of the other would go away or be less obvious.
