gates open 630 tribute at 645, so basically a handful of people will see it, they just don't get it...
The club should actually employ some Dragon fans who know about the History/Culture/Passion of the club, not someone who just cares about KPI's etc, wasted opportunities a club that has all that going for it, yet doesnt tap into it and when it does it balls it up, amateur hour..

Agree Ayios
Why not a least have it at half time of the main game.
At least there would be a reasonable crowd by then.
But we don't think of these things.

Agree this man should be honoured- Chang was the greatest of all the great dragons- he was a freak- would have been sensational in any era but with all the bombs today he would have been outstanding -most people focus on his prodigious step, but he had the best hands I've ever seen- can't remember seeing him drop a ball- I recall in England in a World Cup final, he raced through and flew through the air to catch a chip kick from someone (Fulton?) on the full in the ingoal. It was a try, but without the benefits of replays, the referee (Eric Clay??) disallowed the try as he didn't think it was humanly possible.
The greatest try never scored. It still sends shivers down my spine watching it.

OT is right - it was Dennis Ward that put the kick through and the ref was a Frenchman - Georges Jameau

That because Doust doesn’t give a shit about us long suffering fans.
I suspect that the management hopes that anyone with any memory of Changa, let alone how great we once were, will soon fall off their perch, so they can get on with "the new club" which is built on mediocrity and bull shit.
Keep it low key and don't arouse expectation is their motto.

If the club were serious they would retire the number 1 jersey permanently

I agree ot very said.
Remember when Reg passed away.
They also did it before the game.
Both sould have been done at half time of the nrl.
But it never happen

The club could have chosen a different game at a much better time to pay respects to changa.

Black arm bands could have been worn this Thursday's game, but the big day for all fans to pay respect could be a different day.

Something like small flags with Changa on them, or jerseys with Changa and number 1 could then be organised for sale to commemorate one of our greatest.

I don't have the draw in front of me, but a far better time could have been chosen i think.

Off the top of my head, Rnd 6 Souths at Kogarah Friday night. If it's one thing Souths do well it's respect heritage & tradition.

This clown has said previously he had the team he wanted and we went no where.
So please give me the highlights of the last 3 years and then tell me what you think will make this year so much better?
It's very amusing how you call it death riding a team just because you have blind faith in what is obvious prolonged incompetence and overwhelming underperformance.
In fact the reality is you are committing this great club to a death sentence by your continued support of these muppets that are in charge.

Typical response from "true believers"
You can't cop it when someone can support the club (over 55 years in my case) yet still be critical of it when it is necessary.
Being critical of something doesn't mean you support it less, it actually means you just would like to see change for the better and are willing to voice that opinion.
Back to my earlier question, your highlight of the last 3 years and why will we do better this year under Mc Fookknuckle?
