mary doing a better job then hasler.

Good, that club has too many issues from within I'd be surprised is he lasts the distance.
Some of the 'old school' will see to that.

The only problem now is that because Doust lacked so much foresight, there ain't much left on the shop floor.

 

[BrissyRedV]

Sigh.

 

[Brutalitops]

Save us Tooves. You are too good for SL

 

[BrissyRedV]

I pray to footy the Gods that the current streak is not a false dawn and Mary can actually coach otherwise we are in the shitter. It seems inevitable now that he will be retained. Doust and the boys club have all the excuses in the world now.

I can't believe some of the talk from our supporters. We're back to the Hail Mary banners already.

Yes, we are going well, very well, but it's still WAY too early. Let's not forget, whilst the team has been showing up, our opposition has been woeful in the last 5 weeks (excluding the Eels). The real test is the next 6 weeks.

I'm sick of this club being too reactionary, let's wait at least another few months and see where we are then. There's no rush for this.

I am being very cautious about this good form but a raiders supporter friend of mine who called dragons for the spoon before the season called us legit after watching 5 rounds.
Dragons are for real and its only going to get better from here. They have depth in the forwards and will be hard to dominate. Their defense is so organised that they don't panic when having to defend repeat sets. There is no way that they will finish outside the 8 unless crippled by injuries.
This from a Raiders supporter.

So we can put the Cleary and Hasler rumours to bed and it was nothing more than BS.
I feel you can definitely add Tedesco and Bird to the list as well.......THEY Ain't coming!!
Normal Transmission can resume.

On the contrary TRVR. I think most of us feel like you in that we need to see our performance improve against the better sides to gauge where we really are placed in the pecking order. The lack of available coaches is now a concern on a couple of levels 1. McGregor can get comfy with no pressure to deliver as there are very few replacement options & 2. McGregor can get comfy with no pressure to deliver as there are very few replacement options. In other words if we aren't the real deal(at least a genuine top 8 contender based on rounds 1-5) then we are in for a year as tough as originally thought. The next 3 weeks will tell us.

It's definitely good, but a team with great attack would expose our right side eventually. And I'm still not sure our attack could penetrate teams like Storm for example.

dragons fowards will dominate storms

 

[Crush]

Lets see how we go against the sea eagles this weekend. I think the dragons might just surprise us....

 

[Old Timer]

dragons fowards will dominate storms

Please explain what happened against the Eels and are you saying Eels are better than Storm?
Storm will wrestle us to death as always and even if we finish slightly ahead in the pigs their backs especially the wingers are lethal how will we counter that?

hopefully saints prove you wrong

It wouldn't be the first time. Before Panthers OT told me that dragons would get destroyed, he even outlined how panthers would take us apart.
Yeah, that didn't happen.....
I'm with you Alec's-saints, dragons forwards will dominate Storms.

 

[St Georgio]

There's always Mr 70% Tony Smith, but McGregor might break through to the other side!

 

[Old Timer]

hopefully saints prove you wrong

I hope so too but I didn't actually concede defeat just offered an opinion, but I did ask you a legitimate question which surely deserves a thoughtful answer as to how you came to your conclusion.

 

[FlameThrower]

What a bizarre situation...
Des on the outer, Mortimer a club legend quits the board, playing like rubbish and win in a scrappy game then they extend his contract....seriously...what a joke..

 

[Minh]

With the roster that he's had Hasler has not lived up to expectations there at Belmore....
