a 30 can box of coke, griffin loved his coke.

I noticed that Shane had a big swallow of his can of coke during the game against the Bulldogs. At least the can was red and white and he wasn't chewing gum like Benji Marshall was doing watching nervously as his triple wooden spooners Tigers beat the expected 2025 wooden spooners Titans.

How good is it following the joint venture clubs. So much fun and enjoyment and glee.

Great post it's such a shame widdop suffered the injuries he did i think 18,19,20 would have been a lot different if he stayed healthy most underrated player at the dragons since hornby who should have played many more rep games spilt milk now though but he carried that team in 18 we don't have anywhere near the standard of players as we had then i think if we can get a few top range players and hopefully some more of the youngsters coming thru are as good as the ones blooded this year flanagan will go alright hoping

Agree with you UDGE.

There is one glaring difference no one has touched on when comparing Flanno to Hook. One thing even more important than win loss ratios. That is how the players feel under his tutelage. Hook was so incompetent in that regard, he couldnt or wouldnt even have one on one chats with some players explaining his decisions. Such as his demotion of Lomax....that is pretty poor form for a head coach. The guy was a total flop when it came to man management, interviews with media etc. I daresay just about the whole team now have a lot more respect for Flanno than they ever did for Hook.

He told the captain and players player of the year Cam McInnes your free to go before the season started and replaced him with McCullough. What message does that send to the playing group.
As bad as Dufty's defense was he was our best attacking weapon and he gets rid of him with no replacement lined up. Lomax was terrible under Hook.
Josh Kerr was getting picked in rep teams but for some reason Hook wouldn't play him.
