Dragons had the worst defence in the NRL. More missed tackles than the Tigers. Most individual missed tackles of the season: Ben Hunt.

I don't think you can blame that on Sloan. Defence, as they say, is an attitude thing.

As for ben Hunt, well its common knowledge that all our attack eminates from him, so obviously teams are going to target him more, he probably makes more tackles than the average 7, I would say he has been pretty good in defence overall, he has made some great try saving tackles.

Understand this but Hook is suppose to be big on defence , so it is obvious it's not working or the players are not buying into his coaching methods , so if defence isn't working then there is no attack .....

and vice a versa. I dont necessarily buy into the line of thought that were not fit. Its often the stupid errors and repeated send offs forces us to defend more than we should have to…

And who is second from the Dragons in the worst defense list? Amone. So it makes sense to run at the halves all night.

So I'm not sure how moving Hunt to hooker translates to a better solution. Apart from gimping the spine, you are creating a 3 man highway down the middle of the park for the opposition to run at. Doesn't sound like a great move if you ask me.

Agree! Also, and as you have highlighted T_B i just cant see how the defensive comparison between fill in fullback and the main half is particularly valid or strong measure.

'No excuse': Dragons chairman contradicts CEO in messy NRL off-season saga

Dragons chairman Craig Young has labelled the no-show of players at their presentation night 'disappointing' - in stark contrast to the club CEO. Read more here.

Is it any wonder that we've just lost six of our best juniors and can't attract quality recruits when our CEO and Chairman- the two people whom you would think would be in constant contact - show all the signs of being strangers!
Compare the passion of Russell Crowe or Nick Politis for their respective clubs with the invisible Gordons- no contest.
Nothing less than a street rally of members demanding the resignation of the Board, the appointment of a temporary administrator and a club restructure more responsive to members will suffice. While we're in a different position to Souths 20 years ago, the club is in steep decline and the dysfunctional Board is where the decline has started.
