At least I can celebrate today deathrider
Sorry, I forgot that you hold the mortgage on true supporterism and celebration.

Deathrider? lol. And this from the moral campaigner against 'name calling'. Tsk tsk GT007. I'd call you a hypocrite but you might get upset.

FYI, it was a great atmosphere at Kogarah yesterday. The crowd really got into the match, and yes we celebrated every try, felt every tackle and took in the greatness of Jubilee. Shame you coudln't make it.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet (CBF scrolling through pages and pages of OT banter). Bit of a worry if true.

"PAUL McGregor was only appointed coach to the St George Illawarra Dragons after agreeing to a deal that would see chief executive Peter Doust have a say in recruitment.

The Doust stipulation was a major blocking point but in McGregor’s third interview he agreed to consult with the Dragons boss on all recruitment decisions.

The relationship is an old school approach to rugby league.

In the modern age of sport, compartmentalisation is the norm with football and business departments kept completely separate in order to minimise fall out when mistakes are made."

Is McGregor the only one that thinks Matthews should have been selected instead of Stockwell yesterday.
I haven't seen Matthews do anything for 2 years except make me dizzy with his spinning around defenders

I'm quite happy to give it back but would prefer to keep things less personal. It gets a bit old when u jump on my comments just to have a dig and offer nothing to the topic so yes I will retaliate. Glad you enjoyed the game it wouldve been a great atmosphere. It's been a while since I've seen the boys fire each other up like that. I'll be at the game against the Knights, are u coming? I'll buy u a resches.

I've warmed to Matthews under Mary and I would've picked Stockwell over Stanley but that selection proved to be correct with the injury to Benji and Stanley went well. Each game where Beale does nothing I'm less convinced he is a fullback and he looks very slow and offloads as soon as he is in space. He has 2 more games to cement the spot for next season

Yes, I keep forgetting how serious the internet can be.

Hey, no one here is jumping on you. And I'm more offerable than you think.

Dear GT, it's called taking the piss and is way past getting old. It has very long whiskers and won't ever go away. Laugh if you can. But if you worries you, then just bitch about it with someone less easy going than yourself.

lol. Life's too short. But OK, I'll ask... how exactly does one retaliate on an internet forum? Is it keyboards at 10 paces?

That would be super. But hey, I was waiting for you. Even sent you a happy post, which sadly has offended you.

I feel like I've been stood up.

I'm starting to warm to McGregor.
Posts here, both positive and negative seem to all point at qualities that may well make up a good coach
You could encapsulate all of those qualities perhaps in one word.........MONGREL!

Personally I would have liked to see Dragons sign Wayne Bennett as head coach and Craig Bellamy as his assistant, along with every single high profile player that was off contract/looking to break contract. But none of that happened because Doust is such an incompetent CEO :x

Sorry if you felt stood up, I'm sure a nice cold resches will alleviate that. It's difficult for me to get to games especially Sydney games as I work most weekends but I'll be at the knights game. Would be more then happy to catch up for a beer

You're a dead set idiot. You wouldn't know incompetence if it smacked you in the face.

Oh I'm not so sure.
I think that an easier example would be a better test though.
Try something a little less obviously irrational.
Or you could just give up and piss off.
