L7 v Bunnies

[Dragons4me]

There's so much negative Dragons publicity (justified) at the moment that surely one would think that someone at the club would come out to at least address some of it. The commentators are having an absolute field day at our expense and it's now undermining the club foundation. We're losing players and even rusted-on fans hourly. Bwaith merkinasta is struggling to hide his gloating every time he mentions the Dragons on his program (whatever its called). How many whacks to the head are we supporters meant to take??

Do something to save it, before there's nothing left to save.

Where's Watsford taking over from Where's Wally.

 

[Not Myself]

Well he dislikes us (the fans) and we are ripe for the picking. If I was coaching, I'd aim our entire attack at him all game and make him make defensive decisions and tackles.

You have mentioned two things we don’t have: “coaching” and “attack”.

 

[Dragonslayer]

Anyone else feeling apprehensive about this game? I never want us to lose, but........

I really believe SF will be gone sooner rather than later, maybe even as early as next week. So, do the players put in for him or just go through the motions? I do hope it's the former, but not for him but for pride in the Red V, pride in the jersey, pride in playing for this great club the brotherhood of the greats that have played, fought and bleed for what the Dragons stand for in years gone by.

A win doesn't change the course of SF fate; the wheels are already in motion. But show us fans, us long suffering fans that all is not lost, and we can see some future ahead.

If Dragons coaching staff has any idea they should bomb dufty all game.

 

[Dragons4me]

What are the odds on Dufty slaying the Dragons? Just watch.

Exactly. You know it's going to happen don't you. He'll have a blinder. Score a couple of trys; save a couple of trys, and fix a broken pie-warmer oven all before half time ensuring all attending orphaned children won't go home hungry.

 

[I'm faster than Lawrie]

Sure but he will catch them uncontested as we apply zero pressure with our chase.

No truer words said.

I would say 3 things:
1. Coaching
2. Fitness
3. Good team selection

That’s is the problem with the high priced signings the Dragons have made , they are not playing for pride in their jersey , but merely for the big dollars they have taken in their contracts . Pride would had been placed in the jersey of their former clubs , although there are definitely some exceptions, such as Gutherson whom has indeed given his all , however Father Time has all but caught up with him .

Our team of spare parts appear to need to be reminded in the most harshest terms possible that they are there to not merely make up the numbers , but to play to the best of their ability and to give their all for the entire 80 minutes of each match .

His agent should keep out of club affairs and more so keep his opinions to himself, after all his job was to ensure that Tonga had a deal that he Tonga was contented with .

However it would appear that another club ( ? ) has taken a liking to young Tonga and contacted Craig Clifton to make waves - sow the seeds of discontent into peoples minds and use Flanagan’s current dire situation to suit his own purposes, a nice big percentage of Loko Pasifiki Tonga’s next contract with his prospective new club and more than likely a ‘ finders fee ‘ . Some agents are nothing more than snakes.

In fact if I was a betting man I would put some money on that particular club being not too far from Kogarah, if I was a betting man .

Disagree.

Loko feels like he should be in first grade and he told his manager the same thing, obviously.

Flanagan as always finds an excuse so he goes back to Loko's injury scare from almost a month ago. However Flanagan has explained why Loko didn't go to Vegas prior to being injured has he?

The point is Mr.Hornby young Loko is with the Dragons, plays in their jersey representing the St.George Illawarra districts , not the colours of Craig Clifton . If Loko or for that matter any other player at the club has a concern then speak to the coach first and should he not be happy with the reply then have the courtesy of mentioning to him that he shall speak to someone at the club whom is at a more senior level .

Regardless of whom they are all players need to earn their place on the 1st grade team , not go crying to some 2 bob agent whose chief concern is the almighty dollar he would receive from another club .

At the moment it would not be too hard to oust a current forward from the pack considering their ‘ schoolboy ‘ footy off late .

Loko isn't one of Shane's favourites, he even took Dylan Egan who is a great kid and player on the vegas trip when he was injured and left Loko out all together. Shane's definitely got a problem with him the grumpy bastard, didn't he say he gave Loko a week off training because he came back to preason fit and smashing his numbers? Shane's an absolute muppet

 

[I'm Hornby]

Yes you would think so Gareth, but he keeps getting overlooked for the likes of Lawrie, Guler, Kerr and Sele.

My point is, I don't think young Loko's manager would be as forceful in this saga, without having actually spoken to Loko about whether or not he is feeling up to playing first grade since the injury scare.

If we both agree that Loko is better than the blokes keeping him out of first grade (which I'm sure we do), then surely we can agree this latest excuse from Flanagan is just another cop out of the many we have received during his tenure.

Whilst we don't know how or what has transpired between Loko and the coach, we can both agree that Loko belongs in first grade over the above mentioned. If we can see that as supporters, surely the coach can too?
So let's not give Flanagan's excuses any more air time than they deserve.

110% Mr.Gareth67
No, let's go 200%

 

[John moz]

Lose to bunnies we dont need to wait flanno out before Anzac game to build it up for the biggest game in the Nrl . That would kick start our season with a complete new team under a interim coach plus a win.

 

[getsmarty]

It’s dire at the Dragons and there is no saving Flanagan, sadly

Ten straight losses says all that needs to be said about the on-field fortunes at St George Illawarra.

Will this be flanno's final rodeo ?
