Flanno in the press conference making excuses again, referring back to his sharks days 10 Years ago FFS. We are in some trouble if Shane admits the same problems we had early last year but doesn't do the same to Kyle as he did Illias. Imagine listening to his depressing voice after a loss what part of him screams motivation? He already admitted we couldn't win the comp before 1 ball was kicked. Disgraceful

This exactly.
The writing is on the wall.
The guy already had his statistic ready for the loss stating that the sharks won 15 straight after losing 3 in a row.
What statistic is he going to pull out if his arse next week if we lose 4 in a row.
It just like Mary’s we were 81 mins away from the GF.
Shane needs to be put on notice from the club and we will see if he keeps picking the same friggen side week after week.

All seemed to go downhill after that silly pass from Holmes that went over the touch line. Up to that point, we were up by 8, attacking their line with 10 minutes left in the first half.

That's another lie from Shane. Look at the stats for 2016 sharks lost 3 in a row from round 22. Just more bullshit excuses he uses because he know our higher ups aren't the brightest bunch. Absolute pretender who lies through his teeth and has no integrity at all.

On another cheery note, Couchman will be looking at min 5-6 weeks on the sideline if proven guilty of a hip drop… given Hopgood suffered an ACL

55 years I followed this club. From the age of 8. I don't have the energy to be constantly miserable about the footy anymore. I said I'd never do it, but Im taking up bowls.

I’ve got a lovely set of bowls with the wonderful St George & Dragon emblem on them.

Happy for them to go to a good home for a very reasonable price.

Otherwise I'll ask Flanno if he wants to take up lawn bowls 7 days a week and I'd happily give them to him.

The guy didn't even know when Parra went down to 12 men if you listen to the presser.

I think things are unravelling for him and the 'we can't win the comp' statement - although a truth - is backfiring on him now. How do you pump them up after 0-3 and saying that?

As things go we probably jag a win against Titans, and Shane starts to tell us how good we are, how good Kyle is etc. and he buys himself more time. Still losing all the close contests. NOTHING is being done to address this, clearly. The team has real problems mentally and a real shame our leaders were the worst of them today.

The entire season now the focus has just changed to avoiding the spoon. Said it last year, wait to injuries hit, and when they did we had a ready made excuse to give up. 7 straight losses for the man in charger. Deplorable.

Many interesting perspectives; We need speed on the wings. Tui had space a couple of times but simply reeled in quickly. Setu again throwing silly Hail Mary passes. Sloan is a high end speedster.

Val Homes I would like at fullback, he is very quick and can break the line.

Compare the difference when Tui had open space in front of him & was reeled in within 2 strides by Moses compared to the Fox when he got the ball with space.

No speed in the backs
No creativity from the spine
No mongrel in the forwards

We are for long and painful year I can't see anything other than a last place finish I guarantee we don't win 3 straight games for the 4th year running how sad.

The 3 x No's sum it all up.
Was going to go to the Tiatans game, but luckily my daughter is getting married Saturday, so I don't want to ruin my weekend.

Just thinking after the game.
What do we do for with the salary cap as im stuffed if I know.
Val cook.Gutho Sua but the rest wouldn't be on big money.
The youngsters also.
Cant believe how we are the have nots.
Worst roster in NRL.
Season 21 ganes left plus byes.
Need to win 13 .
That's not happening simple as that.

Looks like we need a team to beat themselves if we are any chance of winning.

Gutho - is too slow, he's not a threat to the opposition,
CT - big strong but too slow,
Kyle - not a half, too slow, predictable, no creativity,
Atkinson - positive about him, he needs support from the other half.
Klemmer was better than Kerr.

Until we have a top fullback, a decent halvs partner and a quality outside back I can't see results improving.

If they have a high completion rate they might have a better chance of getting on top of sides but if they don't play a perfect game they don't have the cattle to find the points.

The game was in the balance yesterday at 24-20 when Guymer was sent to the sin bin (which as an ex-referee and a neutral supporter I thought was 100% correct). It exposed the limitations of the creative spine players for the Dragons. Cooper Cronk kept pointing it out that as a result, Moses was defending at right centre for the Eels, and calling for the Dragons to run Suli at him, yet what did Flanagan and Atkinson do? They kept going to the DRagons right hand side with Holmes and kicking high at Addo-Carr with repetitive bombs.

It was so predictable it was like a metronome. Suli could have caught pneumonia out on that left hand side. By the time the Dragons decided to finally go there again, Guymer had finished his stint in the sin bin.

The Dragons pack played reasonably well yesterday but were let down by its spine players. They were poor (i.e. Flanagan and Atkinson) or made way too many errors (i.e. Gutherson).

We would have to be the dumbest football side in history. I don’t know whether it was a lack of intelligence, or whether Kyle doesn’t have the balls to overthrow the call from his halves partner when they lost their right edge player (probably would have dummied and gone himself with a 5 on 1 overlap). There was a few times where it looked like we were going to shift and just didn’t or f**ked it up. One time the ball lands in the hands of Guler who looked as though he was going to shift it, then goes “nah f**k it I’ll, that looks too easy, I’ll tuck it under the wing and run into the stacked middle”
