DRAGONS team vs panthers

[Minh]

By far the worst in over two decades.

 

[dragonv]

its the coach

 

[possm]

Well I believe that is it as far as the top 8 goes. Now all there is to do is drop the players we are going to let go and give some other players a crack.

 

[Black Forest Dragon]

Why do you guys put yourselves through this? Accept the fact that we are not going to do any better than what we are doing now. We might jag a win here and there, the finals are long gone, and we just have to wait until next year.

No use cracking up and about and repeating the same old stuff every week....

...the reason why is all about wanting to see some sort of progress. It's all about the way we lose, the same again and again. I can watch a losing side without complaining, if i see something, anything - that is exciting ...or at least improving.

The Players looking forward, relaxing and enjoying the next bye - now that is something that HAS improved. Just ask Nathan Fien.

Enough is f**king enough !!!!!

We are a dead set disgrace.

Can we please sack Price effective immediately and put every player other than Bmoz, nighty, Duges, & Mez on notice.

And while we're at it, tell coops that his farewell is next week so he better organise himself a wheelchair to do his lap of honour.

I'll take Runciman as the only good thing about tonight.

Not surprised by the result but still SO frustrated by the result.

If Stanley is still playing 5/8 next week then I think I'll struggle to watch it. Surely even Price has figured out the experiment failed.

Next week put Harry 5/8 Stanley back to the centres and drop Green. Runciman has impressed me more in 1 game then Green has in his several in FG.

agree with that, but the problem is that Price seems a really stubborn coach who'll keep picking someone in a certain position just to back up his comments. ( Stanley at 5/8 & Fien at half ). Maybe Stanley would be ok there with Widdop as half, but unlikely.

Green looks scared to run & be tackled. For someone with a bit of size, he's not confident at all. He's had enough time in first grade to be showing more by now. Fair enough to give him a go, but he's not up to standard.

Weyman ? - don't make the mistake of giving him another contract based on what he did 3 years ago. Sorry, but sentiment shouldn't be involved with tough decisions.

If it's the coach, what is he to do?

I didn't watch the game but if I go by what everyone is saying, then we had opportunities that we didn't capitalise on (which seems to be par for the course week in week out).

To me, this indicates that players in key positions that need to be calling the plays and guiding the team are not doing their job. Normally this is the halves. So if it is the halves, then we need to replace them. But with who? Players untested in the position at NRL or even Cutters level? OR players who aren't performing at Cutters level either?

A bit of a conundrum it seems....

He should have began by picking a better team weeks ago. He has himself to blame for the mess we are in and we all have to put up with it.

That'll do me,I have followed the dragons for over 40 yrs & this side is close to the worst.I have given price the benefit of the doubt but not anymore he must fall on his sword he has shown that he has no clue whatsoever.You can get by with a player out of position but he continues with playing 3 or 4 every week as well as picking players who are not of NRL standard.I suggest we all flood doust with emails.I have emailed him in the past & he has always replied so he must see them so if we all do it he will get sick of it.

 

[dragonv]

whats his email these days?

 

[Minh]

Seijka would have been a start and an easy choice for this week but he still had to be stubborn. Even if we had lost with Seijka at least show some initiative and make some positive moves in the selection of the team.

1 does anyone have a link to the coach's press conference
2 The coach may feel he has to pick the same players each week as they may be in his mind the only people still on his side..lol

He should have began by picking a better team weeks ago. He has himself to blame for the mess we are in and we all have to put up with it.

But who is the better team? Who do you put in the halves? 6/8/10 weeks ago or even next game? There are no valid options for the 2 key positions on the field. Drinkwater was even tried off the bench and to be honest, for that game he blended into the grass. Didn't have any impact at all.

We have to be realistic, there are a number of positions across the park that need to be looked at. But honestly, we don't have the depth to fill them so we are playing guys out of position to fill the gaps.

And as for seeing improvement, I think no matter who was picked week in week out we wouldn't see too much improvement in the team if any at all.

 

[Fiery]

Every week it gets worse. Why would anyone be especially upset after this latest mockery! U think a lit of people owe Possn an apology but just like waiting for Price to be sacked, don't hold your breath. Refer to the "lol" thread. There comes a point where Dragons fans can only laugh.

 

[blacksafake]

whats his email these days?

I just send them to the Taj Mahal & mark it att p doust.

Actually, you are 100% correct.

Stuff the notice and terminate their contracts as well.
