Round 1 v Cowboys

[Dragsters]

4 days until footy starts and the 3 threads getting a work out in here are - Sack Mary
Robson is leaving
JDB Case
Great to see everyone is excited about the season ahead!
The wrist slitting negativity is on point as usual.
Millward Mess! Sack the coach! Another Jack Bird situation!
We are doomed!
The sky is falling in!

Apparently, "It's a mess" as well...

Is it true Lomax has been left out?

We will know the squad Tuesday afternoon.

Just start the season for goodness sake..
Scenario’s are.
1- we win, we got them on off night, so more luck than a great game plan.
2- we lose, we were not prepared, no game plan and looked like a rabble

FT you are spot on. It's a no win situation. We don't want to be on fire out of the blocks because it will just be the same as last year and we are guaranteed a fade at the end of the year. If we lose, as you say, it will be poor preparation and will set the scene for the rest of the season.

I've never seen such a depressing forum.

Leading NRL reporter apparently have the good oil. Believe it or not!.
Ravalawa on the wing outside Aitken.

If this is true that Lomax won't be playing Round 1, I will lose it.
Seriously, Euan Aitken? You have got to be kidding me.
Any other club would have dropped Aitken for Lomax. It's a pretty easy decision.
What an absolute disgrace. Pull your head in McGregor!
Lomax in for Aitken!

 

[emack]

Sssshhhh, don't tell anyone I'm back or I'll get banned again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously WTF else do we expect from the SUPERCOACH. He could turn any premiership contender into a wooden spooner with a mere moment of his coaching prowess..........

 

[Frank Facer]

Sack Mcgregor!

Wrong thread!

No I am saying that Dufty is not the attacking weapon that he is hyped to be .. Our attack for 20mintes a game would improve drastically with Robson not Dufty and have the benefit of spelling Mcinnes increasing his effectiveness too.

Mary is blinkered and pulling the absolute wrong reign.

Dufty should be back int he reggies working on tackling their big blokes head on, catching the ball on the full and getting into the right positions defensively. This will help for 2020 when he is back in the 1.

We don't know how good or bad Robson is until he's played a few NRL games. He might be another great player against ISP and U'20's and no good in the NRL. I'll wait to make an assesment on how good he is.

Here's an idea - give him a chance

His trial form both last year and this year suggested he is ready, his service from Dummy Half which is really not dependant on the opposition looks better .. Throw him in .. develop him.

The Radley/Smith process is working at the two grand finalists from last year.

Much would depend on Mary's instructions/coaching. I'm sure that half of Aitken's problems is Mary's insistence on him doing things on the field that he is just ont good at. I'm also sure that Mary's instructions to Lomax put a spanner in the works and caused Lomax to be a very nervous player on the right wing and later at right centre during the Charity Shield game.

Our coach is the root of most problems experienced by our team.

Wrong thread!

I don't even bother reading the Sack Mcgregor thread.

Mary will have the boys primed for a big game. He is the best in the league at getting teams ready to start the season on the front foot.

 

[This Year?]

Aitken right centre
Ravalawa right wing
Jordy left wing
Dufty bench
Lomax dropped.
No Robson.

otherwise known as the Mary paradigm.

I fully expect the Dragons to be on top of the comp in May.
Nobody gets near our forward pack before Origin.
After origin though? Well that's where it gets a bit messy.....
