Yes but I'm sure you catch my drift!
In a perfect world, if the members had the ability, they would have put a broom through the entire board, the MIA CEO and most of the playing and coaching staff.

I took my daughter to the circus the other day. I fail to see a difference with how the club is run.

In all seriousness, the fact we have a rift at board level should tell us all we need to know and reflects directly to what we see on the field.
Quiet news day .Obv a great guy but wont be remembered for his time with us..was always a bulldog. Spends most of his time on Fox n Radio .
Good luck to him for the future , but this news wont bring the foundations of the Taj Mahal to its foundations ..
Actually like what is happening.Complete clean out . Hook will realise all is being removed around him BUT whose pulling all the strings 🤔 🤔

Last man standing is Hook and imagine he will also be last man knocked out...surely Hook cant be orchestrating all this...there is definitely a restructure afoot but whos driving it?

Shame I like Jimmy, good on 2mmm anyway
Makes perfect sense that the club didn't see value in such a well-respected, articulate, passionate, intelligent and richly experienced guy like James Graham. Been listening to his podcast of late and it is highly recommended! His recent hour long chat with Wayne Bennett is a fascinating listen (as most long form Bennett interviews are). Bennett even drops an interesting little factoid about his time with the Dragons, one I'd previously not heard

Listening to Graham on 360 say he was sacked as a measure to make his coaching role redundant and put that money into sales. SALES!!

No player, no coach or fan in their right mind would want to buy into the dismal Dragons who are the least professionally run club in the comp. I feel absolutely devalued by this club. I have contacted them with positive feedback as well as constructive and never got anything return.

Sales? Getting rid of a knowledgeable person and wonderful advocate like James Graham is a terrible call. It just rams home that we are a soulless brand rather than a proud club competing for glory.

Sorry guys but I get a sense we are screwed for a long time to come. Shame on you Ryan Webb or whoever made this call.

I feel so devastated with this club. All too depressing and nothing of good coming out of the club to make us look forward to a better year.

There has to be a reason given to the fans as to why things are changing for the worse.

It is nearly the end of the 2022 season and we need something for us to look forward to and Ryan Webb needs to speak now.

Jammer's eye rolls when talking about it say it all. The club is bullshitting their way through everything atm. When he was asked what the club are trying to achieve at the Dragons, he was speechless and at a loss to produce anything/biting his tongue. I would like to hear more from him about the debacle that our club has become once his commitments end at the end of the season in four weeks. I don't think he is one to talk out of shop though.

He was quick to point out that hook was not involved in the decision to "make his position redundant". I think jammer will give you an honest opinion, but too professional to dish out the dirt on former employers.

f**k James Graham.
Just another one on the gravy train.
Provided very little on the field for us and even less in his other roles.
Bit of a harsh call OT, there were numerous times he could have sunk the boot into the Dragons via his media outlets but always showed support for us in different ways. As for his sacking, so that those funds could go into sales when its our football dept that needs all the support it can get is just bewildering. Will we ever get to see the facts by the club for his dismissal, probably not, are we entitled to it, probably not. The board and all the administrators of the club will do as they please. FFS they own the club and we can just F&%K off, end of story.

I’m sensing he’s firing the shots for the new commander returning back from the far North! Just my hunch.
I agree. I think the recent sackings are to give the impression that things are changing when in fact the grand plan is for Hook to hold the fort untill Young Deano comes back. Only flaw I can see is if Deano is smart and has aspirations of a long and successful coaching career he would be wise to stay away from us a while longer.
