Sam Verrils and Marshall-KingAll I know is we are seriously looking at another hooker, trying before season end, but more likely next year. CM is a good young player and will become a handy back-up, either from KOE Cup or from 1st grade bench. The priority is getting the targeted player though.
I reckon we don’t need to be quite that drastic with the spine. I think your spine is where we want to end up but I would implement it step by step.1. Sloan
6. Amone
7. Sullivan
9. Hunt
14. Mbye
We don't need to buy a hooker. Hunt's skills set and past record show it's his best position. Muheisen is a real talent. Fast track his development while Hunt completes his contract. Our focus should be on buying / developing hard-running, fast forwards.
Bird is a good second row. Fullback role is well covered by Sloan, Ramsey and Lomax.
PS: It appears possible that Lomax is a talented footballer trapped in a knuckleheaded body?
Love the confidence with your last line CrushI reckon we don’t need to be quite that drastic with the spine. I think your spine is where we want to end up but I would implement it step by step.
Next week Mbye, Bird, Sullivan, Hunt,
Round 12 Sloan, Bird, Sullivan, Hunt,
Round 18 Sloan, Amone, Sullivan, Hunt
And keep that spine into the grand final.
"PS: It appears possible that Lomax is a talented footballer trapped in a knuckleheaded body?"
Sad, but unfortunately seems to be more and more true! I am still a fan, but he needs to pull his head in
I am not absolutely sure Frizell thought it was "a bit of fun". Tyson had just made an error which Ied to a Dragons try, so was feeling crappy anyway. He didn't need Zac involving him in the Dragons celebrations. By all means Zac should celebrate, but leave the opposition out of it.Lomax is in prime of his life .let him have a bit of fun His got plenty of time to grow up
This has me wondering why Crichton has never been charged. Or for that matter Frizell for doing the same to Chambers. Or is this another crackdown?I am not absolutely sure Frizell thought it was "a bit of fun". Tyson had just made an error which Ied to a Dragons try, so was feeling crappy anyway.

good for morale crush ,the way you have the spine sitting together watching the grand final.I reckon we don’t need to be quite that drastic with the spine. I think your spine is where we want to end up but I would implement it step by step.
Next week Mbye, Bird, Sullivan, Hunt,
Round 12 Sloan, Bird, Sullivan, Hunt,
Round 18 Sloan, Amone, Sullivan, Hunt

No, not a crackdown, just the usual MRC versus the Dragons! Crichton plays for the Panthers, so nothing to see there, and Tyson is no longer a Dragon, so he has escaped close scrutiny!This has me wondering why Crichton has never been charged. Or for that matter Frizell for doing the same to Chambers. Or is this another crackdown?
Yes- but even a broken clock is right twice a day. And the game was only confirmed won when he was off the field and Amone chucked away the "by the numbers" game plan and played what was in front of him to create the dragons last (and best) try.Ahh Macca. Well done
Finally, you got that barge over try from dummy half and fooled the opposition.
Its only taken you a year with us. Miracles do happen, hope you do it next week against our new hooker for 2023

Maybe Merrin also knew that Hook wasn't the coach that the Dragons were going to be successful with besides being fed up with playing league. Hook will stick to the players he brought into the club, win, lose or draw.The only thing we can hope for unfortunately is that he does a Merrin and decides to retire out of the blue because he knows he is not up to it anymore. You got to admire Merrin for that.
Hook will never drop a favorite no matter how much impact they make hence the reason he is not a great coach.
Oops! However, I am a firm believer in the theory of "Never let the facts get in the way of a good story".Crichton got the same charge lomax got
