Giant gun Jason Saab to ditch Mary’s Dragons as rivals circle

[HenryTatana]

So everybody wants out and nobody wants to come. What does that say about the place and most importantly about the the coach

Wake up Board and do your f**king job before the place burns down.

- Free time in September
- Going to work Monday morning feels like relief
- Me
- Saving money on merchandise
- Sympathy, rather than ridicule, from opposition fans

Agree with your last two points, and those two only

This is fricken disgraceful.
How the hell can Pereria keep anyone out of first grade.
Yeah lets select the 27 year old 5'11 guy thats never done anything special over the 19-20 year old 6'6 guy that just needs a crack in order to stay a Dragon.
Its not like we are in a premiership window here FFS!!!
Faaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkk!!!

I'm extremely pissed off about this.

 

[boardlumps62]

This could be just a stir. We will have Lafai and Aitken gone by next year and Moses Suli won't be here. So we will be looking for backs. Think he was returning from an injury also anyone know about that.
It's a juggle yes they might want out but are they any good. Look at the chooks Brett and Josh Morris we lost them long ago and still playing.

Im pissed of in maybe losing Saab, but happy that the media is all over us.

About fricken time. Its a sinking ship, and like i said in many threads, its on the board. Not the players, not the coach. They are employees. WE can and should be critical of their performances, but the critique ends there.

The BOD and senior management need to step up now, before we become totally irrelevant.

Ten years of crap, and we are the laughing stock of the NRL.

 

[This Year?]

This was raised in this very forum in 2018.
I hope young Saab can achieve his NRL dream and if we can't be the club to realise his potential, then good luck to him.
Whatever happened to us being a development club instead of a retirement village.
I bet one of the diehards here could post a "young players given the flick" 17 that would probably beat our current 17.

 

[blue bags]

what can we do ?

Easy.
Couldnt be bothered though as its blatant.
Good post.

Here's the problem as i see it with player selections.

Its happened way too often for it to be a co-incidence. They get one crack or maybe two, and then he reverts to what he must believe is the "safer" option.

Young players feel that they dont get a chance to prove themselves, and every game for them is "do or die". Yet our coaches favourites, always get on the field. Maybe in Aitkens case on the bench.

Lomax FB one day.. centre the next.
Dufty dropped... back to FB.
Rava one poor game.. dropped... then returned at the cost of others.

Mann went through the same.

Our halves will never be dropped. They may play ( like Norman ) in a different posy, but they are in the 17.

It's definitely musical chairs with selections no wonder players lack confidence and want to explore opportunities elsewhere.

Exactly right spot on Lomax was assured the fullback spot for all of this season then gets shafted after 1 game! Dufty then gets picked ahead of him and lasts 2 games before being dropped for Norman. Lomax was used so badly last year Mary's obsession playing outside backs off the bench is frustrating for me as a fan imagine how the players feel? No wonder they are frustrated lacking confidence and seeking opportunities elsewhere.

yes mate.

We are talking out f**king kids. Kids with talent, that have used as experiments, and when one result goes wrong, ... f**k em... Its sickening. Rant over. Have a good night Dave.

 

[TruSaint]

what can we do ?

When crowds return.. boycott.
That all we can do.

 

[st.phil]

Disgraceful but utterly predictable

 

[LINESPEED]

Ramsay & Lomax will go for sure

By June 16 it’ll be a matter of shutting the gate after the horse has bolted

Wins against the Dogs & Sharks would be inconsequential.

...Nothing can stem the bleeding now

storming the Bastille was the only option against tyranny in 1789

 

[blacksafake]

The place is a cancer & spreading.
Let’s hope that with the blood in the water the press go in for the kill. Continued negativity towards the club may force the board’s hand, especially if sponsors start asking questions.
