Given that the off season has officially started, I thought this would be a great opportunity to tell a bunch of you to get f**ked.

This bullshit about “naysayers” and “supporting the direction of the club”. As well as calling people “not true fans” whenever anyone is critical of decisions made at the club.

This club is a steaming pile of shit, and has been for a decade. It deserves heavy criticism and should be reminded on a daily basis that it’s standards are not high enough.

If you just want to circle jerk about how you’re a “true supporter”, Facebook might be more on your level.

I’ll see you merkins in the swamp.

Mate I can see your frustration and it keeps going , it's not about signing a player like Woods its just that it continues with the same old storey ...... The only players we do get is players that we pay overs for , troubled players that have no where else to go the Club and board are only in it for themselves ...... Just when you think , hay maybe just maybe they are changing they go and sign Woods ...... Thats what really shows me they have a long way to go ...... Because I speak my mind doesn't mean you or I are not true supporters ...... We are just wanting to see the Club team stop doing the same things ..... Enough is enough like I said its not about we just signed a player like Woods its about it continues with the same type of player evey year enough is enough .....

Illawarra drags us down. Big time.

Their loser culture had rubbed off on us and we need to sever the joint venture.

Most of the time I try to find a positive out of the many poor decisions or things that have gone wrong with this club. Sometimes though, my rants are just purely emotion fuelled because I do care.
At the end of the day we are all Saints fans and we all care, whether our views are the same or not on just about every Saints related topic. I will always post something however I see it. We are all equals in LU regardless of if we are DA members, season ticket holders, non ticketed members or not even a club member (well I'd like to think so anyway).

I was a harsh critic but feel we’re turning the corner. Is that ok?

So what you're saying is...we should have kept Mary for 3 more years?

So i guess your employment is not as a life coach ? Glass never fu---n full !!! Agree that the club should be open to scrutiny and they have stuffed up a lot in the past and should be called out on it, but i keep coming back to Wayne Bennetts comment years ago about all clubs " it is never as good and never as bad as you think it is "

Calling the Dragons a steaming pile of shit & that it deserves to be reminded with criticism every day is a bit over the top IMO. How do you encourage change by criticising EVERY move they make , particularly without any accurate information to what is fronting the club ( contracts, salary cap , injuries ,sponsorship, financials , personalities ) ? I think with Webby we are going in the right direction but if the side is still in the same position this time next year then the coach will be accountable, unlike the situation for the previous coach until it was way too late. I try to live my life as a Dragons fan more positive than negative and i don't mean like a Pollyanna but hope may be stupid , but it is my religion !

Aaron Woods was about to sign with Manly but at the 11th hour Dragons swooped in and offered contract.
It was a no brainer for Woods, if he goes to Manly he may have to play a fair bit of reserve grade, at Dragons he knows he'll be playing NRL.

Ironically, yeah. You could loosely describe my employment as “life coach”.

Accepting difficult truths is one of the hardest things that a person or organisation can do. But it is critical for making effective change.

You’ll notice that I don’t say that they should be reminded every day that they are a steaming pile of shit. What I said was that they need to be reminded that their standards are not high enough.

And I think that Hook should be the last person whose job is under pressure. I dont think he’s perfect, but the issues at our club existed long before he arrived. I’ll give Webby the benefit of the doubt, but there are some terrible appointments in key positions in the club. Until that changes, I can’t see us being a powerful club again.

Soft. I expected fire and brimstone.
