Missed you posting the last little bit BSE everything OK?OT only points 2,3 and 4 to go
1. Mary is not in form. His selection choices and bench management very poor.
2. Team moral is high because the team is winning.
3. How would anyone know what Hunt thinks about Mary's tactics. If the forwards become busted and burnt out, these tactics will be seen for what they are; a short term solution employed at the expense of the our forwards.
4. Cast your mind back to 2015. We still have a few straight wins to match that wining run before falling over.
5. Mary being a former international centre, would be well aware of what has to be done with out backline. The problem is, he really isn't a good coach/teacher. A remedy for our problematic right side defence and generally our outside back defensive skills should have been achieved years ago.
I have had the trolls to keep me company while all the good guys have been holidaying or attending to medical issues etc.
That is one of the best responses to anything ever gotta love your work OV.Thank you OT, just got back from a well deserved break.
One Of The Good Guys
That is one of the best responses to anything ever gotta love your work OV.
I often think that this is your theme song.
It will be my request that they will play this at my funeral.
All good bud...thanks for the support....look forward to your posts as well...Missed you posting the last little bit BSE everything OK?

Grand Orient posted the other day as well and hopefully young Wittenberg might turn up again shortly.
Just hope all are as best as can be and looking forward to seeing some quality posts from blokes who know their footy.
Hunt was quoted somewhere as saying something like he likes the sounds of Dragons plans for a power game, space created by the forwards for the backs, playing what's in front of them, something like that. I think that's what the poster meant by Hunt agreeing with Mary.F**king agree totally.
Hunt likes our tactics!! What tactics? We have a dominant forward pack who are probably close to the best pack in the Nrl. Even mary should be able to coach them( yeah right)!! With our forward pack the backs should be blowing the other teams off the park due to field position but they still have to wait for their turn to shine. By that I mean instead of waiting for the fourth tackle to have their turn how about swinging it straight out after Frizell or the like has just made a huge run up the middle and have the opposition on the backfoot, but no lets keep to our structure and waste another forward up the middle and not throw it wide when the defensive line is in tatters.
I feel like we have been lucky in some of our games and have only hung on to win when we should have blown them away.
Get rid of Mcgregor and start fresh. I don't even care if the coach is unknown. Mary has had his time too impress and hasn't proven he is worthy of taking this great club forward.
Winning games comfortably is a bit of a stretch.
We limped in against Cronulla after a great start and did exactly the same against the Warriors.
In both those games we were playing out of our skins with no real upside left and if the opposition had been more disciplined in their approach they could have very well won those games and we could be 1 - 3.
If one is truly pragmatic about it we had little improvement in our game as we don't use our backs as the source of attack but the opposition in both games were like badly tuned motor cars that can be tuned so that they pur and if that had been the case we would struggle.
I think ur incorrect on at least 3 points.1. Mary is not in form. His selection choices and bench management very poor.

Don't put words in other peoples mouths.Ur th
Dude u are truely a negative soul... Ur telling me beating the Sharks on their home ground was not a monumental effort - one that not many teams if any will Achieve this year .. Then smashing Penrith off the back of our piss poor effiort against Souths in the CS wasn't even more impressive and your telling he we are struggling? I'm certain u were one of the many on this site saying that we will be 0-4 in the first 4 rounds.. Now ur still berating our so called "average" team.. Mate enjoy the ride because of tomorrow there are 15 teams behind us on the table and I don't care what u think we are playing amazingly well and winning games in my eyes "easily"
So unless u have positive views or constructive commentary about our team I don't want to know .. Actually go and follow another team - one that satisfys ur needs..
Re Hopoate all I was saying that his agent is shopping him around and should we consider him - I hate Hopoate!!!Don't put words in other peoples mouths.
I said in plenty of posts I am happy we are winning and congratulated those responsible.
However I am not willing to get carried away on the back of 4 or 5 games nor am I willing to dismiss the obvious shortcomings as we have seen this all before.
If we are truly a good side we need our outside backs to really fire and achieve outcomes and to date that has not happened.
Having just watched the Canberra side and how their backs play makes our inadequacies even more noticeable.
Watching how the young Penrith halves play also shows the marked difference between good sides and adequate sides.
Your obviously willing to sell your sole and have Mc Plod at half where I am not.
Let's see if I have to eat more crow down the track or whether you will start crying for changes.
In respect of you telling me to go and following another team go and f**k yourself as I have always and will always follow the Dragons and be totally honest in my appraisal of them. I have always followed them without fear or favour
You, you imposter come up with should we consider Hoapate.
FFS that's really supporting the players on the books and the one's coming up through the ranks and you question me.
mickeylaneRe Hopoate all I was saying that his agent is shopping him around and should we consider him - I hate Hopoate!!!
Stop preaching ur not some guru -mickeylane
Is that how you really feel because this is a quote from your own post
"Personally I don't mind him in the wing - he played their w origin and I believe his best position..
Feedback as he's being shopped around now !"
Not quite the same as what you are saying now
"I hate Hopoate!!!
One needs to be a bit more consistent especially when both posts are on the same day.
Wake up to yourself this is what you saidStop preaching ur not some guru -
HaterF**king agree totally.

Of course Hunt would like a power game plan. The load transfers to the forwards and the fun stuff is executed by the backs. My main concern is for the ability of the forwards to continue in power mode. If they fall away from power mode for any reason, the Dragons are in for hard times.Hunt was quoted somewhere as saying something like he likes the sounds of Dragons plans for a power game, space created by the forwards for the backs, playing what's in front of them, something like that. I think that's what the poster meant by Hunt agreeing with Mary.
