Is anything not Ben Hunt’s fault?
Where did I say it was Ben Hunt's fault?

I expressed a point of view about players, coaches and management and also presented a set of circumstances that could have occurred.

In short if Ben Hunt was playing terrific at 7 and if JDB had not gone out that night then Hunt would never have played hooker, Mc Innes would have never played lock and potentially not made a rep side and may have been happy to extend his contract as our no 9.

If Mary had of been a competent coach and payed attention to the CC side and made sure we had adequately coached back ups to fill positions rather than making multiple positional changes then perhaps none of this would have eventuated.

IMO Mc Innes has somewhat been the victim of a lot of extenuating circumstances and his willingness to be a good clubman and provide support to the coach and therefore club has ultimately seen him cop the bushy end of the pineapple and the short straw for his efforts whilst others like Hunt & JDB were given rose petals to walk on.

And let's not forget the saloon passage ride Corey Norman has got in amongst all this as well.

You choose to see it as me blaming Hunt because that's exactly what you want to do rather than seeing the post for what it actually is which is giving some support for Mc Innes rather than our usual way of throwing rocks at players that leave the club.

You mentioned Hunt as a cause in 8 of your 10 points.

So yes, you’re saying it’s Hunt’s fault we lost Mick Ennis.

Well the media are now talking Price as a candidate to replace Morris obviously assuming he gets the punt. I thought a Flanno / Mary reunion was on the cards.
But a Price / Mary reunion would be even better and make more sense for the Up Up's.
Price did win a comp with them in 16 running water and messages..and we all know Mary was only 85 minutes or maybe 2 wins short of qualifying for the big dance.
Cam must know it will work.

Firstly im only just back to thinking about the footy so i finally log on to here-why are there so many Cronulla trolls on here!! Piss off and stick to your own forums. Cant believe these idiots are allowed on here. Its bad enough that theyre allowed to play (more like bludge) at our ground, but to have them on here is a disgrace.
Secondly to watch whats happened to Cam is unbelievable. We were assured this was a brand new start and things would be different. Seems like nothing has changed-very few players bought and our good ones are leaving. But to lose our captain and best player recently i just cant fathom.For the Dragons to say they had a different timeline to Cam is just pathetic. I thought retention was a whole department within the club. Ill put my Folau thoughts elsewhere but if this is a new start, then maybe the club might want to buy the Harbour Bridge off me. Ive still got it,its cheap and available right now

Ahh the Sharkies fans, they hate the dragons don’t they?
The Stains!
St Merge!
Such angry little brothers.
It’s funny when they come in here trying to troll but are just straight out terrible..

It will be even worse for them when they find out about Cam’s knee..

Below is the point 8 that I made and you reference.

"8. If any of this is remotely correct then I too would be pissed off having given my all and watching 2 others 1 of which has not played that well and certainly not consistently and the other not played at all for 2 years being better catered for."

If you choose to interpret the way you have and especially taking into account other points made in the post then clearly you are mistaken.

No doubt you will use your usual tactic of "telling me that the way you see it is correct" and you will try to garner support whilst you do so but you are only seeing what you want to see and missing the obvious.

For the record do you think Hunt has played really well (after all I did say not played "that" well) and very consistently during his tenure?

So point 8 is not one of the points that you referenced then?

If you didn't reference it you selectively left it out and if you did reference it you will see where it clearly states "If any of this is remotely correct" emphasis on "If" so if it were in anyway true you mean to tell me that Mc Innes is not entitled to be pissed off lol.

Anyway you carry on regardless and interpret things the way you want but for the moment I have no need to be dragged into your spidersweb of muzby games.

Re the scotch comment you make I see yet again you love handing out a slap re alcohol and funny how you don't understand that it is in really poor taste on your part to insinuate that my post is alcohol affected but that is your usual mantra.

My apologies OT..

I was working on the assumption that booze must be behind your inability to understand both basic maths & English..

If that was not the case and you’re just plain stupid, then I’m sorry.

It truly is amazing how you love to call people out for various things in your faux outrage whilst you display all the qualities you accuse them of exhibiting.

You really need to sit down and have a hard look at what a hypocritical nasty piece of works you really are.

For the benefit of some in this place please give up your privileges so others can put you in ignore as you are very boorish to say the least.

Damn... even when you get an apology you aren’t happy..

With fans like you no wonder McInness wants out..

McInnes is gone. Move on.

There is a player ready move and has stated he wants the no. 9, as he is suited body shape to play there too.

He is no-where near 1.2 million dollars like " Ben Hunt" !!! which means massive salary cap relief when
BH's contract ends.

He will actual be an addition to this team. We need a full time no. 9. I would get him this year
since we were looking to get McCulloch. Brandon Smith is the man.

My opinion of our recruitment department is that it is slow in putting up recommendations and slow to get the deals done. Everything seems to take forever and usually at the last minute the deal is off so a bloody waste of time.

As SaintPauli has said Brandon Smith is our man. Go to it Dragons recruiters and do it quickly. Get us something decent for a change. If the recruiters can get B Smith then the failed negotiations with McInnes can all be forgiven and forgotten.

I’d be very suprised if B Smith came to us

Plus I thought he wanted to move to Queensland?
