Noticed how easily they got a roll on, again another game where the Dragons Stats would suggest we should have won, with more possession , better completed sets and yet we still managed to lose this... Also note no Weyman in 2nd half. And god bless Fien, but the last tackle options were pretty average when we had some chances in 2 nd half.

You'd think I'd be more disappointed after losing like that but I'm so used to losing it was inevitable. The nightmare season continues

In summary we play well in patches, never the full 80 minutes and when we do shock horror get in front panic as we don't know what to do, it's like sh@t 3 quick tries, Sharks on back foot, this was not in Prices game plan......what do we do now Boss?.....The big Red hand is pointing back to the coach here...

Í know we are down on troops etc, but reallly, what we are down on is leadership.

Cronulla played sooo badly. How often has that been said of our opposition this year?

Yet we still lose ...whether back when we had finals aspiration on the line, or backing up after we are kept scoreless at Kogarah or Wollongong. Doesn't matter if we are at home or not. Can't be morivated.

There's no use commenting how lack of execution hurt us. The games are THERE TO BE WON. It doesn't get more favourable.

Steve Price just can't get them mentally prepared for any match !!

Very disappointed.

the season from hell cannot end soon enough.

There's so much id like to say to fkn Price but I know its useless, how the fk does a team make 80 to 90 every set by just jogging up the middle, and a 50% completion rate to boot, I should have gone fishing

Fair Dinkum those last 2 tries awarded to the Sharks were 2 of the worst decisions I have witnessed.....Lewis shoulder charged Nightingale off the ball ...and the last try well it just wasn't....if Nighty didn't get his hand to the ball first then I must be blind....and the Sharks player didn't even ground it....absolute joke......and they reckon there's flaws in DRS in cricket ...and as for that over rated Anasta's comments where he obviously wanted the Sharks to win well hes an even bigger joke......call it sour grapes if you may and I don't mind getting beat fair and square but when you are plainly robbed then that's a different story.....and seriously Creagh really is to soft as captain in my opinion..can you imagine Smith or Thurston not chewing the refs ear off if those 2 trys were awarded against the Storm and Cowboys..end of story

Grow a pair Dragons board and sack the useless Muppet whom dares to call himself coach of arguably the proudest RL club in the world. Makes me sick to the stomach what this imposter has bought to the Red V.

Man sharks fans are precious.

They don't like other team fans in their forum.

Make one comment about the dodgy call (Ryan try) and they just start name calling.

And we still f**ked it. Cronulla was useless and we weren't good enough to put them away

Yep...all we needed was some structure and instructions from a coach and we should have put 40 on them, they were that bad......crying shame we don't have one

Nightingale doesn't attempt to take the ball and is cleaned up by Lewis then it wouldn't have been a try. We lost not because of those calls but because we let Cronulla roll up the field. Not to mention our woeful last tackle options.

Why do the Dragons never ever kick the ball on the ground in oppositions in goal, instead we give them a free catch and a very fast restart !!

I am Smurf's partner and I only watch when he makes me (haHa) and then I am more demonstrative than he is (ie. rewind... Watch this ... That was not right etc etc...). My points are twofold for this match----Having grown up in a sporting family, I loved all sports. One of the first things I learnt at 7 yo was 'go to the ball'. If St George could only hear me every game.... Their defense is terrible... They run backwards or stand still. Every team they have played makes a minium of 5 meters usually 10 when they are defending. Tonight they showed that they have some very talented players and are capable of attack when they are confident (sports psych coaching anyone?!). They lost through bad defense and 2 really bad video ref decisions- the last try was a Nightingale hand on the ball first... And one mid way through was an obvious double handling!,, I do not propose to be anywhere near an expert but if
I am watching these games I can't help but weigh in..... Please someone teach the dragons defense and I think it would flow from there with some decent ref decisions... 😄

..Per BFD...quote.

That's the crux of our problems....Sharks were crap, we handed the game and momemuntum to them ...Because our guys can't adjust and play what is in front of them, it's like our game brain fades out and I don't know what our trainers, bottle guys are doing with any coaching instructions...seems like there's no communication in adjusting the plan?
