Laughing after the game!

[Emu01]

I just saw Dugan, McDonald,Frizell all laughing with the opposition straight after the loss.

Disgraceful behaviour! Dugan was supposed to be hurt and next thing he's smiling and laughing with Peats jioking around.

Bad attitude at dragons as soon as we signed the coach the players have dropped intensity.

What do you expect McDonald is an imposter how on earth this guy is considered a first grader is beyond me.

Dugan is leaving so why would he give a shit.

 

[blacksafake]

Every team does it.

It's been like this for a while. I've noticed there is always little or no contrition after a bad performance. We need Brian Smith back to shake things up. He could do a much better job than what we're seeing at the moment.

I am sure that amongst us a lot of people who have played in team games whether it be league or whatever.
From my experience you might shake hands with the opposition, but thats all.
I can't imagine the Saints of yesteryear would do what teams do now.
Imagine Rod Reddy having a chat with Ray Price.
Just as bad is when a player forces a knock on from the other team all the players have this group hug and pats on the head. Where does that crap come from

They were just saying, "do you know what tactics our coach gave us tonight?"
"Really? You're kidding!"
Hence, the laughter.

Don't hate the players for that.

Blame the salary cap for killing off tribalism. Comparing them to players 30 years ago is ridiculous.

The reality is players move around and have mates who play for other clubs. Has nothing to do with the preceeding 80 minutes.

That's a sensible comment gitano

The reality is most players don't give a shit about their own club and just take the money.

You can see by the way they play especially at the Dragons some players will have a real dig and the rest just go along their merry way without a care in the world.

When you have a useless head coach who couldn't inspire a horse to water what hope has the place got.

Throw in Hornby and Young wtf are these two doing to help to me its sfa and they have done nothing but hurt their own reputations.

No wonder so many people have left the club the place stinks.

The real thing to remember is that not one single player on that field cares as much about the club as we do. It's a job that they get paid ridiculous amounts of money for, I'm sure most of them just think of the club as an employer. How many of them will be buying tickets for matches at Kogarah after they retire?

 

[coast_dragons]

Thats the thing as normal people we go to work to eran a meager wage.

Some of these so called first graders wouldn't know what a real job is.

Most are overpaid over hyped turds.

I'm with you, I really despise such display of 'sportsmanship'.

I played rugby throughout high school, then a few years at my local club (low level stubbles comp). Never once did I shake hands after a loss, let alone happy chats. Just walked straight off in anger (admittedly happy to stay on-field after a win).

I don't get the overpaid thing.

The game generates billions. Who deserves the money?

Probably only a few will. The local juniors in the team. I saw all of Jacob Hosts family sitting on the hill at Kogarah this year. Nightingale will as well.

Dugan might be really pissed off with the club for not paying him what he wants,so now he just laughs off a loss "likeI don't care man I'm off to northies with the Sharks man".

They had a LD in the away change rooms (listening device) ???

 

[1st & 10]

Teams used to have plain clothed team reps standing behind/outside change rooms at places like Belmore, Henson, lidcombe etc . Can hear all the going ons in the change rooms

They may be laughing after the game in another weak as piss loss, but I'm happier I don't have to watch their dribble for 2 weeks! Over it!

I am all for sportsmanship and shaking hands, I always encourage my kids to shake hands win lose or draw. But to see these guys outwardly laughing and smiling after a loss just shows how much they care. Maybe they don't really give a toss. As long as they get paid. Id like to see some KPIs in place where they don't receive their salary if they dont hit their KPIs each week. Then lets see if they are laughing after getting carried out into touch on the 1st fricken tackle......

Why should a fan care or show passion, when the team shows ZERO!!
