Round 16 vs Storm

[Dragonslayer]

i agree. does my head in ..

What more can a bloke like Timm do
Leads the comp in runs, metres, post contact metres ... Close to the top in decoy runs and tackles ..
Is doing more in reserves than Allgood/Kerr/Latimore ...
He deserves a chance ... not because he is briliant or anything but because effort and results at the level below should be rewarded when opportunties arise.

Plus he has more of a future than some of the other blokes ...

Not picking Timm sends such a bad message to the young blokes coming through and the fringe first graders maybe considering coming to us.


Is there another reason that we are not aware of for these decisions?

Maybe Timm has sharp teeth!

Yes, Mary said he has never heard Allgood complain & they are very close (something like that ) when he handed him his jersey.
So it's just a case of picking your mates.

 

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

caught a social media post where he is handing out jumper to allgood - one of the main points he highlighted as driving his selection... "he never complains"

wow.

Looks like us fans have buckleys of getting selected in the team then.

Im interested too see how Allgood and Kaufusi go. Both will put in more than Luciano does, put my left teste on that.
Timm needs to go, wasting time with us. Mary and co. obviously don't see anything in him. Greener pastures young fella.

41YS,
l've always had the impression that Luc CAN be a very good player but l really don't see him lifting another gear with our current coach.

He's more of an attacking type of forward, rather than defensive.
I'd like to see him go much harder at the line.

This game’s a lottery.

Wet, no crowd (8pm Thu night FMD) big disruptions to both rosters, etc.

McInnes has a big chance to show what he’s got as hooker and Capitano without the other 10 Capitanos.

9 day turn (except for Reps) and we’re desperate, Storm aren’t.

I’ve got no idea what to expect, no f**kcing idea what so ever.

Dragons by 10 or Storm by 30.

Does my head in this. I can usually at least imagine what the reasoning behind stupid looking decisions is. But this beggars belief. Experience? When he hasn’t played first grade in 4 years? Unless there’s some issue around training attitude and work ethic, which given the on field results seems unlikely, then it’s just ludicrously dumb.

Exactly, needs a massive wake up call.
EDIT: At the moment is happy enough to only earn a wage.
Sums up the whole organisation for a few years now.

 

[St George 1977]

Dunno if I can even stay awake. 7:50 kick off is a absolute joke. All for the tv. People who work and get up early can’t even watch it. Let alone kids who wanna watch it. Oh well with the bald headed one in charge rest assured it will be over by half time, and I can go to bed with the shits.

But seriously, why would any player of quality come to the Dragons, unless you are looking for your final pay check. Its why these threads about us trying to sign the Turbo boys or any one else for that matter are amusing to say the least.

 

[Michaeldragonslife25]

I think 7:50 is a perfect time for the game... tv will be turned off before 8:30 and I can be asleep before 9 for work sounds like a good time

 

[rednwhites]

Dragons by 10 or Storm by 30.

Know what you mean but I can't see a scenario where we win this game at all.

 

[West coast dragon]

Saints by 2!

 

[West coast dragon]

That glass is half full

Mate, hold onto your hat I think there will be some entertainment tonight.
