The missus doesn't take the losses too well.

On the upside, the household budget has seen the amount of money spent on hosehold pets halved (although the cleaning of blood off walls budget has skyrocketed.)

had him 3 weeks in a row

hmmmm

fact is he has no problem being a merkin and you can bet yur balls 50 50 calls wont go our way

been happening for 3 weeks funnily enough

hmmmm

I'll tell you objectively why you lost those 3 games against Sutton. Sutton is awake to the Sharks antics in the ruck i.e holding tacklers down, thrashing around like a fish out of water, moving to oneside to get the marker offside and inlike the other refs he wont penalise as much for this.

The Sharks need those penalties and actually receive the most amount penalties in that area compared to other teams. It gives them easy metres upfield and they can execute their plays, which they do very well.

The problem for the Sharks is that is how the semi finals are reffed, so you will need to adjust.

This is from an unbiased observer.

Fair summation. My concern is that much like last years semis our coach can't / won't adjust anything, in turn having us poorly prepared as evidenced by the capitulation to the Cows. Flanno is a very good coach, but the jury is still out as to whether he is a great coach.

In the press conference he did suggest there was injuries everywhere and the 9 day turn around will help heaps.
Ever since SOO he reckons blokes have been playing injured.

Well, he should be resting blokes that are injured.

We've had a dream run with injuries compared to some teams & a week here, week there resting a player will not hurt.

I'm sure we aren't the only team with niggling injuries.

I don't think we are not really any different to any other team except we have Michael Ennis, Paul Gallen & Andrew Fifita.

He doesn't like their carry on, doesn't put up with it & probably refs us harder for it.

TBH Carch,

You'd be a better side without him.

f**k I'm going to troll the dragons forum so hard from now on.
Don't mate
Seriously, I have never posted a f**king thing in there and I never will.
Well maybe i posted some info about train times once .
Never any smart arse stuff though .
I would rather eat my own shit than do that.
Anyway glad I chose to stay home last night
I didn't witness the loss and more importantly I didn't give them 1 cent.
Only a matter of time before Kogarah is another distant memory for the Dragons.

Who cares about the Dragons in here, let them have their couple of days of glory....then they can go back to wallowing on the edge of the 8.

They deserved their victory, it has been coming for them..they would've beat Brisbane last week if Benji wasn't so geniused. He responded to criticism against us.

All part of the premiership puzzle. I'm still confident of at least a GF appearance.
