My feelings as well Smarty.
Wife & daughters often say to me how come you don't scream at the tv whilst watching the Dragons anymore.
My stress levels have come way down during our recent games compared to a few years ago. Getting used to our poor performances so just keeping it cool.
I'm starting to ask myself, when was the last time I saw Friz make a break through a tackle bust or unload while attracting multiple defenders, does he have a side step? The guys runs hard straight into defence but other teams are aware of his one dimensional attack & quickly aim in on him.

Problem is Mc Noidea thinks we can make the 8. if win every game here on. We just have to play our best players on paper. ( or highest paid )!!!!!!!
So was that a tackle bust, offload or side step???
Let me start by saying I have no issues with his suspension. However I do have an issue with the consistency. For the last 10 years it’s been a fine but now it’s a suspensionSt George Illawarra's Jackson Ford facing three week suspension for tripping
By Brett Graham

St George Illawarra back-rower Jackson Ford could be out for three weeks after being charged with tripping by the NRL's match review committee.
Ford will be sidelined for two games if he takes the early guilty plea, or three matches if he fights the charge and loses at the judiciary, after being hit with a Grade 3 tripping charge.
The incident happened in the 76th minute of the Roosters' 24-14 win over the Dragons.
Roosters star Luke Keary came crashing down on his head as he crossed for a try after Ford came in with a soccer-like slide tackle that Nine's Andrew Johns labelled "dangerous."
"Well that's nearly the send-off offence," Nine's Phil Gould said in commentary.
"In the old days that's a send-off.
Jackson Ford has found himself in hot water for a 'dangerous' trip on Luke Keary. (Nine) (Nine)
"You can't do that. There are ones where you get wrong-footed and you stick a foot out but this is one where he's actually can't get there with his hands and he's kicked out with his legs.
"It's a send-off. That should have been a send-off."

I agree totally, there are definitely one rule for some sides (and players) and another for the "other sides". I did see the tap on the head and both Fifita and the ref were having a good old laugh about him nearly cleaning up the ref. BUT when I played no matter what - touching the ref whether in jest or not was a BIG no no however there will be nothing done about it just as there was nothing done about the high tackle on Clune because they wont upset the Roosters and especially not Politis. On Gould, that is why I watch Fox and will not watch 9 although it means I have to put up with Anasta and his stupid comments, especially the ones that demonstrate he has no idea about the rules of the game.Let me start by saying I have no issues with his suspension.

Probably because Gould carried on about it constantly saying it should be a send off. Just like the passing into a player lying in the ruck & touching the ref, it’s as if they make an example out of us. Apparently Fifita patted the ref last night so if he did let’s see what comes of it.
They say the poor sides/clubs cop it so we should be used to it.
A tackle bust.
Our season is over, let him go to Newcastle and they can pay him for the rest of the season.
Or maybe get an extensionEels had a tough game in hard conditions today and have to back up 5 days later.
McGregor could go out a winner!
