Hook is delusional

Hook looks & sounds old, his post match press conferences are cringe

I haven't watched any since I fell asleep watching one a few months ago.

Some mate has told me that this is what Sloan aims to do in the off season as well as learn much more about himself and fix his shortcomings particularly with his defence which will improve once he becomes stronger and bulkier.

That would be the plan ! As angry as I get with Hook's selections , if Sloan & Bud are invested in how the club is preparing them that eases it a bit. Surely Hunt's new contract would be voided if he refused to play in a position other than 7 because I don't think Buds patience will last being a 14 in 2024/25 ?

 

[Yow]

Many good back rowers started in the backs and transitioned

Lomax has more than enough natural ability to make that move

The issue re maintains energy levels and output while being a middle is a creditable one but IMO not a concern for Zac as his fitness levels, strength and motor are highly evident and in recent weeks he is doing more miles and turning up on the other side of the field in an attempt to get more involvement.

I agree our current game plan does limit him but it is obvious that is not going to change any time soon.

So these discussions are based on what would best suit our team at this time under current circumstances and is somewhat like the question re Hunt namely he is a good half and hooker but under current circumstances him being hooker would be better for the team.

If we had a good hooker then a no brainer Hunt stays n the halves.

Most of forwards are despicable, leak like a sieve, slow to respond, small motors and incapable of making a break or producing an offload so with no one on the horizon MO we need to think outside the square.

Ben Creagh Beau Scott i think they went alright

I trust catching a bomb is on his off season todo list.

Did I miss the stellar careers that they had at lock?

I'm sure of it. I'm hoping he will show what he can really do next year. Just like Ramsey has developed to be much better and more confident with nearly everything he does on the field now. No-one is perfect but practise, using good measures, and a good attitude will help anyone.

 

[denis preston]

I like Ramsey's efforts this year but if Sloan develops he has a far better passing game and better acceleration. Ramsey would be faster than Sloan over 80 metres but certainly not 10 .

Lomax needs space.
Doesn't help him or us crabbing sideways instead of forward.

Lomax needs a 5/8 like Cody Walker...early ball

Cody Walker is a massive farkwit. I’d rather Gitano at 5/8 then that prick

We need a coach to teach our 5/8 to straighten the attack rather than crab sideways. He ran straighter last week & scored 3 tries. It’s not rocket science.

Can’t argue about Walker but you’re being ridiculous about Gitano & besides he wouldn’t even pass the ball to Lomax, even with a four man overlap

 

[Batman251]

Walker - why I enjoyed watching Souffs get beaten last night

 

[Draginzaaar]

Walker - why I enjoyed watching Souffs get beaten last night

Me too, but gee he has great hands. The prick.

also need a coach to take pressure off our halfback by having the 5/8 as a second ball player for attack

The other issue is that Griffin has Hunt & Amone strictly playing left & right sides, Lomax for one would benefit from Hunt spending some time on the right.

I'm afraid the game has past Hook bye.No longer up for it.
Needs to retire. From what I see
, Hook has lost the players respect.
His selections have made no sense. To the players & to us.
Time put your feet up Hook.
U've made a real mess here at the Dragons.

Yes I’ve seen a few reports Griffin has lost the dressing room, definitely not good given he’s 1, contracted for ‘23 & 2, there’s no obvious alternative.

Plenty of alternatives
A carboard dummy of Ronald McDonald would have more success

Coaches preview, Hook is delusional.
Talks AGAIN about good we have been over the last month then goes onto talk about how good Titans are. Lol. OK Hook, whatever you say mate.
