Game vs Canterbury Bullbums

[thebigredv]

Also how did the dogs get the ball back when Milne cleaned up Frawley.

Did not understand that one bit.

There were some dodgy calls both ways today. But what's new?

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

Anyone else having flashbacks to the time we resigned a very average coach mid season after a few good wins and barely won a game for the rest of the year?

 

[thebigredv]

Don't anyone try to convince me we were not complacent today.

Sorry, but Mary has to wear that. Appalling attitude. Not happy with McGregor saving Tyson at the back of the game for Origin. It's one thing to be pro-rep footy, another thing to allow Laurie get in his ear.

McGregor has his relaxed look about him again, which spells out 'she'll be right'. Complacent coach. Complacent team. Atrocious.

Well OK then - I am glad you feel so positive about the future and can rationalize today's performance by quoting the "pundits" that had tagged us as favourites for the wooden spoon.
Unfortunately, this has been brewing for a while.
We were fortunate to beat the Tigers last week and we have been outplayed by all the top Teams.
The point is we also get out coached.
Can't you see that?
So at this stage I prefer to overreact than kid myself that all is rosy.

I hate this forum so much

Those two tries they scored when the ball was bouncing around was the turning point for me. There was no urgency to get to the ball.
The break that Dugan made showed two things, he does not have the pace fullbacks need to have these days, he didn't look for support, even though there was a player on his left.
These flick passes are unnecessary, they look great when they work, today showed what happens when they dont.
Their backs snuffed out any attack from us and we panicked.
The first half defence from us was awsome to keep them scoreless. We just didn't repeat that in the second half.

Outplayed
Out enthused
It happens in the Nrl a lot. Can't win every game!

Didn't understand the Mann / Milne switch.

Also Widdop didn't control the game hence the result.

Also you predicted us to win with many points - we were no hope after that!

What will the coach do , Like he did last year ...... Nothing . Nothing will change ....

He basically just confirmed that to Lara Pitt saying McCrone & Widdop are just back together so cohesion will come ( & hopefully points) ???????? He is set on keeping McCrone, thinks he is a brilliant attacking WEAPON !!!!!!!!

 

[1st & 10]

McCrone by far the worst player to ever wear a Dragons jersey.

Ben Kusto, Cecil Heron, Hassan saleh, Nathan Long, Troy Hodges, Kevin Duckett, Darren Higgins, Sean Townsend

Is that the same player people are saying should never play 1st grade again ????? that is the reason he replaced Mann & if we got the scrum as we should have things might have been different & those same people might just be praising him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FYI the "brilliant attacking weapon" is just my read on his thoughts but the first quote is his words

I want Roy Masters re-signed . I'm sure he had a one year option left from 1987

 

[Crush]

God I hate waiting 10 days after a scrappy, clunky, ugly win, to watch my team turn up and play like that. Was utterly disappointing. I've seen some frustrating games in recent years and that is certainly up there with some of the worst. There are no excuses for such an ill-discliplined, lacklustre effort when a top 4 spot is actually there for the taking. That loss will probably be crucial come the end of year.

I didn't see the game as an ill-disciplined lackluster effort. I saw it as a tough game that didn't go our way. The last 20 minutes we made some mistakes and it cost us the game sure but it wasn't a lackluster effort in my opinion. They played better than last week IMO. The opposition were just much better this week.
Not a great performance but not a terrible one either.
Next week we can bounce back. Itll be interesting to see the lineup with duges and frizz out.

The Dogs came to play their Grand final after the criticism they have copped from their fans and the media. I expected it was going to be very tough game, but I didn't expect the Dragons to play SHIT. Poor kicking game again.

Problem was mate the Dogs didnt come and play their GF game...they were very ordinary and sadly we were bloody terrible in attack andnever looked like getting over the line

Me to and we wont have to pay him much because it will affect his pension from centrelink

Thought we'd come out firing and didn't, so I guess that is what I mean. It seemed we were mostly on the back foot, and screwing up when opportunities presented. A lot of panic, and some confused attack. It is unfair maybe to doubt their effort, but when are we actually going to grab this thing by the nuts, and hammer home our advantage. If not today then when??

Mate , these are the games no matter what we should be wining . You dont see the top teams loosing this game . I dont like what I am seeing over the last couple of games really struggling to get our wins and not to score a try today . Over to you super coach ....

Duges replacement will be simple Gypsie to fullback Mann wing, Milne centre.

I can see that happening and the Eels will have a chuckle as they run rings around them.

Milne showed me today he is an ill disciplined knob.
Mann defensively is poor.
Nighty is slow.
