Dragons hand Matt Lodge an NRL lifeline at his sixth NRL club

Shane Flanagan has turned to the veteran prop after hunting for front-row reinforcements all season.

I read it in hard copy of the paper. It states a "top flight prop" is the Dragons next signing priority.

I'm impressed just reading about the whole club training session that took place last night.

We are a big club - and the mission should be constant right throughout.

I recall saying this five years back when he got him onboard as an assistant to a failing Mary. He needed to come in and start wielding some influence right through the joint then. While, for various reasons, his hands might have been tied, I'm sure a lot of brainstorming was going on back then. Now we are starting to see some of the ideas coming to light.

In reality - I still think all of this is going to take a good number of years, maybe as much as another 5-7 years. We need to get that junior system firing again (like it was 20 years ago). Only then can we reap the rewards.

The leadership structure we've created for the next couple of years will have us in good stead.

All in all, we are on the way to returning to the team that everyone can be proud to be part of !

Penrith have done this a few times and that's why they win through every grade. Same plays, same plan, same mission.

I like how he is doggedly determined, cunning and best of all, adaptable.

Shane is making all players fight for their spots especially the outside backs. Next season it will be the halves. He has created some better depth in the squad which is great.

Shane will also bring in something new in how they play. It simply is not good enough and with Hunt gone that will make life easier as I feel he ran the show and overruled a lot of the players and possibly the coach.

Dragons last won a comp with Hornby and Soward. Not the flashiest of halves but very effective with the game plan at hand. Shane I feel will do the same with the current halves.

We had a great pack of forwards that help sowie and Ben. If we have a strong pack anything is possible. I pray we have the players to make a f**king big dent in the opposition.

The Bunt debacle ended when Flanno took to him with a iron rod about his appalling performances.

It was such a thorough beating Bunt quit over the indignity of it.

It should have been taped and the footage copied and sold off as Merch.

Come as standard in a special “Flanno pack” you can order.

Also features a signed copy of the Volkswagen dodgy scans, limited edition with a certificate from a GP.

Watching old matches from 2024 is strange bcs I am aware now of Hunt's error rate...how did I miss it at the time? I always knew about the way he runs his support players out of room.
