Something of a hip drop

A good fight back but I think gone now
Two crap sides
Forget the speed excuse
we need to fix our defence
In 2010 all bennett was worried about was our defence
"you get your defence right , the attack will follow "
always looked a 30-30 game
whoever holds the ball for more than two sets scores and wins
Wont happen next week for i feel there will be some major injuries out of this game
BUT
Lidds starts and Cook to bench
Both halves to Cup in complete swap
Some of our young Lions given a go NOW we are officially busted for 25
I dont want to hear in the pressor " we got close and only went down by 6 "
look who we were playing ..........
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO IMPROVEMENT FROM LAST YEAR ....

Lots of good points there. I agree defensive efforts have been very inconsistent all year. Our middle in particular has very often been found wanting. I still think our lack of speed is an issue. No more so than in the 6 and 7. You know Flanno Jr is going nowhere but I do think LKT needs a rest. Lids has to see a lot more game time. Season shot, play more youngster we think will figure next year

We are soft as butter and when a coach gives a presser totally blaming officials, more often than not the team comes out the next week with no intensity. Why would they when seemingly they can play with no effort and the coach will deflect and blame the officiating?

Well as usual thanks to the referee backed momentum tonight leading the penalty count 10-5 and the six agains 3-1, we only managed to lose by six. Imagine the score line if the game were officiated like it used to be before the ridiculous rule changes, had that been the case we would've been pumped in a lot of matches this year. No one tell @maestro1 this as he thinks it's all a big conspiracy and the refs are out to get us.

How many more insipid uninspired performances do we have in us under this overrated and incapable coach? Plenty is my guess.

He's missing the secret ingredients, it solves injuries, makes you stronger, run faster and can help win premierships. It's called super pep 2.0

OK, ok, which fxcker or fxckers have voodoo dolls of our players. These injuries have now reached the ridiculous levels. We are scraping the bottom of the barrell now for players. Whoever has the voodoo dolls....go and get fxcked. Now Debellin and Allen and Sua again
Oh right good to know the official excuse this week is injuries.

Old school coach giving them old school peps that are causing more dragons footy and more injuries. Useless.

Other teams have a bye in hand.
6-18 season.
Good improvement.
Get a merit badge as a competitor like when you come last in a primary school race.
Club should be f**kin happy.

there arent a lot of changes Flanno can make, but the use of NickT and SFinau were the 2 that imo showed blind spots... each one can win you a game with some young legs... speed, energy, power.. done everything possible not to play them.. but with Sua's injury Nick will play next week... but its season over.

The other one I thought was Heidke.. gun right centre would have revolutionised us.. kid been out injured now anyway.. as is SFinau..

Noone else I can think of though tbh, pointless to play Glover.. Id keep LKT, Ilias is going awful even though he could in theory come and play 6.. I mean thats rly it.. Liu could have a game later in the year, Halangahu could get a game for the giggles but doesnt deserve it yet imo.. really thats it.. none of these guys r changing our win/loss record mind you.

The Dragons continue to score enough points to be in within striking distance of their opponents however quite simply they should be in the contest from the beginning of the match .

We are merely playing ‘ catch-up ‘ footy as kids do , not being in the match slugging it out with our rivals . Supporters continue to be disappointed week after week, it’s just not good enough !
