Hopefully Mbye can run for 7 metres this week and improve on his 6 from last week
Kick from the ruck a few times would be a good idea also.Hopefully Mbye can run for 7 metres this week and improve on his 6 from last week

Pretty good reading Crush.Posted this 9 months ago, I had the spine right, just switch 1, 6. Can read Hook like a book!
Crush…. Please when is the last chapter in this Hook Book?Posted this 9 months ago, I had the spine right, just switch 1, 6. Can read Hook like a book!
But no-one in their right mind, entrusted with resurrecting one of the NRL's most famous clubs, with young guns at his disposal who just need some leadership, coaching and direction, would possibly pick that spine...Posted this 9 months ago, I had the spine right, just switch 1, 6.

I thought that Hook was deadset happy to have both Sloan and Amone in the 1 and 6 positions throughout this year and when Sullivan was good to go to include him in as well. I also thought that the signing of Mbye was to offer assistance and guidance to the young ones and be the utility every game if not injured or suspended. I like us to win which is a given and if Mbye and Bird help us to beat Souths this weekend that would be good. Hook will be praised for these selections and he will keep these two in those positions for quite a while leaving the young ones out which will be going against what he had planned for them - or was it the plan not to use them?But no-one in their right mind, entrusted with resurrecting one of the NRL's most famous clubs, with young guns at his disposal who just need some leadership, coaching and direction, would possibly pick that spine...
Very peculiar times at the Dragons. Can't follow these they strange decisions, Hook is making. Or is it his call alone?I thought that Hook was deadset happy to have both Sloan and Amone in the 1 and 6 positions throughout this year and when Sullivan was good to go to include him in as well.

Seems to me like Hook lost his nerve after 3 games.I thought that Hook was deadset happy to have both Sloan and Amone in the 1 and 6 positions throughout this year and when Sullivan was good to go to include him in as well.

He will still have to commit to the plan and if he doesn't and we are not on a winning streak then Webby may get involved. Mind you nothing should be done until later in the season as Hook will be given time.Seems to me like Hook lost his nerve after 3 games.
Yep all good but what happens if they get belted again ...... what will he do ? cant believe he was happy with the selections he made ..... As you say if they get up we may not see the young blokes for a while ..... So for me a win would be nice but not at the expence of the young brigade , so another loss and he brings Sloan , Amone back in then for me its another loss .....I thought that Hook was deadset happy to have both Sloan and Amone in the 1 and 6 positions throughout this year and when Sullivan was good to go to include him in as well.

It is a continuing conundrum. For better or for worse as the saying goes.Yep all good but what happens if they get belted again ...... what will he do ? cant believe he was happy with the selections he made .....

For me give all the young guy's ago to get them hardened and ready, yes they will make mistakes on the way but its all a learning progress ..... Its not like we are going to win the comp, will will struggle to make the 8 ...... And also our senior players are the ones making more errors in a game ..... So Im all for giving the future of the Dragons as much game time as possible , not all the pensioners that we seem to sign and play ..... Over to you Hook and Co ......It is a continuing conundrum.

Just can't believe the disinterested attitude from Sloane, and Amone in that Shonks game. It needed to to be addressed. I guess Hook didn't like what he saw. Consequently he made a call.For me give all the young guy's ago to get them hardened and ready, yes they will make mistakes on the way but its all a learning progress .....

Agree but its hard to play when your getting smashed in first grade and lower grades ...... Its easier playing with a good team than it is playing with a rubble of a team ..... So by not playing Them both , has it done them any good ? Don't think so ..... He should have pulled them aside and told them to lift their game give them advice no shaft them ......Just can't believe the disinterested attitude from Sloane, and Amone in that Shonks game.

Apparently Sloane was no better last week in Reserve grade.
Talk about pensions, I'm due to collect mine next week.For me give all the young guy's ago to get them hardened and ready, yes they will make mistakes on the way but its all a learning progress .....

Yes the coaching is beginning to have a bit of a deja vu about it !Talk about pensions, I'm due to collect mine next week.
Yes, the future beckons and the young ones need first grade game time every week irrespective of how the result will end up. They and the club will be better for it one day.
Anyway, us hardened followers are now used to losing so it won't be such a big deal one way or another for us (well some of us). Hook though would be shitting in his pants if we kept losing and as he is the ring leader of the circus, which we have become, he will continue to chop and change player positions to show that he is trying to get the right combinations and then when it gets to the last game, we finally win he will breath a sigh of relief knowing he still had another year with us..
Maybe he did, but Hook has now offered Sloane a challenge. Let's see.....Agree but its hard to play when your getting smashed in first grade and lower grades ......
