Game day V Titans (round 19)

[THE CHAMP]

Hey everyone!! The dragons fans are all hiding in here.
Get to the game day thread you gutless merkins.
Take your medicine.

 

[Dorsai]

Dragons could have signed Neil Henry instead of McGregor but the Illawarra connection..Sean O;Connor and Co wanted and got McGregor stating he would be one of the great coaches....well done Dragons.

Spot on here. Expect other great decisions like this one to come.

If Mary doesn't walk after that the board needs to step in. They are so poorly skilled it's so embarrassing & their attack is so pedestrian & predictable you can only laugh. Block runners with the pass out the back every time it's no wonder we never see the best of our centres because when they get the ball it is always with no room to move.
Mary just do us all a favour & go.

Mary will never walk....
The funny thing about the block runners is that they aren't even near the defensive line when running the block, so adding no value whatsoever and aren't fooling the defence at all... Classy coaching ...

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

If I see Widderp try another of those limp-dick grubbers that never ever get through the line, I will lose my f**ken rag.

 

[Dragsters]

I thought lafai was a promising signing at the start of the season, but his knee injury seems a lot worse then initial thoughts. He's a dead duck, can't stretch out, lost his power running from 10m out....
I'm curious to know if the dragons medical staff examined him before signing ???? Surely a medical assessment must have happened when thinking about signing a player with an ongoing injury ???

Same. Surely.

Disappointed, at one stage there be caught the ball and looked like a pot plant.

I think Mann needs to be given a go at 5/8 at the expense of Widdop, but knowing Mary, Mann will be playing Cutters next week.

Should have happened months ago.

 

[Hills Dragon]

I think Mann needs to be given a go at 5/8 at the expense of Widdop, but knowing Mary, Mann will be playing Cutters next week.

Agreed. I was actually thinking that Mann will be the only player dropped next week.

We've got lower grades doing really well, whilst the NRL side is the worst I've EVER seen in that sacred red V, and yet our clown of a coach let's the younger talent go to waste whilst persisting with Laughai, FFL, McClown, Rein and co. That's enough for this year. If McGregor goes I'll start watching again.

 

[thebigredv]

Well it was well worth waiting two miserable long weeks to watch that effort.

First set kick out on the full on the 3rd tackle.

Thank you Paul McGregor.

 

[Hills Dragon]

Pi$$ off Mary and take that dumb a$$ english man with you! I cannot believe I sucked myself into coming here tonight to freeze my a$$ off to watch this utter rubbish...Honestly the best part was the fan who displayed his disgust..

"I cannot believe I sucked myself..." Me neither. Well done indeed.

 

[HenryTatana]

Left early, had my cup of tea on the couch and sit here wondering what the f**k is going on. Somethings gotta give before the season is lost. The BOARD need to call an extraordinary meeting and sack the Pisshead or tell him changes need to be made. We were beaten by a team tipped to be competing for the wooden spoon yet here they are coached by a coach with a game plan, who bloods youngsters,, whose team can score points and they have SPEED. We are a bunch of plodders, who play to their strength as plodders i.e. one out and expect to win only when the opposition is off. Unfortunately 2017 is not looking any better.

 

[OzDragon]

Absolute waste of time and money going to this game. 90% of our first grade squad don't deserved to be classified as 'professional athletes'. Been following these boards for 8 years and the disinterested crap they have served up this year has pushed me to make an account.

yeah I don't get it... If I was part of a team that got flogged and then had a bye I would be chomping at the bit to get out there, but the whole team looked disinterested from the kick off. Big problems.

 

[Forster Dragon]

Mary will drop Mann who has scored more tries in his limited game time than the rest of the useless mob of pretenders.He should be the first player picked in the backs and take his choice of position..

 

[Dragonscales]

I can't believe how absolutely useless Lafai is.

Easily, the worst signing of 2015, possibly the worst signing ever. Worse than Nate Myles to Manly.

He has absolutely no mobility, his top speed is power-walking, his step is painfully slow, it looks like he has weights chained to his f**king ankles, he's stiff, makes poor defensive reads.

He is just terrible, this bloke isn't good enough for reserve grade, it's f**king embarrassing. He doesn't try at all. Even after being dropped.

He can off-load, and defend one on one that's it.

 

[BlackDuckSaint]

for me, it looks like Mary has lost the dressing room. If that has happened he should not be anywhere near a head coaching position

 

[Dragsters]

It may well be the only way out of this mess and maybe the players agree.

 

[Mickthedragon]

How the fk is Kffl,lafai and rein still in this team. Kffl couldn't catch a bloody cold and the rest have just been useless.
I was a widdop supporter for a long time also but he has just lost me over this season. I have had enough of these jokers.
Mary has got to be down with the worst coaches in the nrl also. Just nowhere near an expected Kogarah performance by them.
He has definitely lost this team and got to go

 

[borat]

Spot on here. Expect other great decisions like this one to come.

Did either of you support Henry to be signed at the time?

Because I did and distinctly remember the tumbleweeds of support.

 

[saintjeff]

Fai fai loa could have fractured cheekbone
Its not the fact were losing its the way we are
Cows 36 broncs 26 sharks 28 titans 20 manly 30 dogs 18
We will get flogged by dogs sharks broncs
For and against -250 for season
Now thats a disgrace
Should have been embarrassed after manly game
Obviously not .
Even when we were gone
Frizz aint a ball player,he is s battering ram
Sick of signing duds .mccrone, lafai,kalifa,
widdop doesn't know the meaning of leadership
HE SHOWS NONE

 

[borat]

As poor as the team was tonight, and as particularly bad as the halves were yet again, you have to say that it's obvious this team just isn't responding to what they are or aren't being coached.

The attack is clearly pedestrian and has been all season long. It's not reasonable to bag individual players in my opinion because the structure just isn't there. Titans just sit back and watch us do the same old predictable plays and pounce on us.

Bar Widdop and McCrone, who were appalling again, I really didn't see a lot wrong with Lafai and the forwards were fine. You could really stick anyone out there and they would struggle in the structure this team plays under.

It would have done more harm than good to throw younger players into the team this week. I mean if the experienced players don't get it then what chance does a rookie. Give it a couple of games and then give them a run for the rest of the season.

Mary either goes now or end of the year.
