Round 10 v NZW

[Fangs]

We really don't have a choice with JFH he must play. Considering the injuries we already have in the forwards. The Warriors will walk through us just like the Tigers did without him.

 

[Iamback]

It is. Peachey not in reserve grade so will be in first grade again. Very cool.

I did say there would be no changes. Hopefully Spencer is fit

Put Sorensen back in his role.

Garner back on the left?

Garner back on the left?

Yep. It allows the middle to hold their ground better and who knows maybe Garner has a good couple of weeks and makes it
Hard for Ivan when Martin is fit

Seeing it coming doesn't make it good.

Garner back on the left?

Isn't he still injured?

True. We have missed Sorro's impact especially last week without Spencer

Fair enough earlier in the year there was talk about his ribs or something but haven't heard anything since.

He is selected this week in NSW Cup.

He played v Souths

then for some reason played no footy last week

 

[BossleyPanther]

Lisati should get a run. Next man up I hope has some drive. Blacker is Big but no punch.

Bring back Hook

Bring back Hook

Next you'll be saying bring back Matty Elliot! I just found it so funny how the Dragons had him as Assistant to Hook. Why sign one failure when you can have two!

How dare you? Hook would have been on 4 premierships by now!

It's an interesting sliding doors moment with Hook being shown the door in 2018.

Would the team still have taken off in 2020 with him at the helm?

He couldn't get past week two of the finals with us but did make a prelim with Brisbane in 2011. The 2011 Broncos were a pretty good side but Lockyer broke his jaw during the finals and missed the prelim.

I think he's an ordinary coach and would have struggled big time with the Mt Druitt boys.

Anyone heard if Spencer is playing

We would have lost a heap of players if he stayed, I was devo when Moylan left and that was due to Hook. Wonder how Moylans career would have went if he remained a Panther? However, in retrospect, he was full.of his own importance and out of control so ultimately was the best thing for club even though I didn't think so at the time.

 

[age.s]

I'm a bit torn on Hook.

The one metric in his favor is that several players who left played by far their best footy here. Moylan has improved recently but his best footy by far was here under Hook, ditto Cartwright. DWZ and Blake were borderline rep level players here and almost instantly became memes upon leaving. Even King Katoa looked like a decent hooker under him. That phenomena isn't as pronounced with those that left under Ivan.

On the flip side Hook hasn't really done much with the Dragons, albeit in a difficult environment. For some reason I find it hard to imagine guys like Nath and Yeo developing the kind of finnesse they now have under him either.

Not complaing mind you. The last 3 years have been magical.

Hook sets them up for the pretty boy coaches of the NRL to knock them down.
