Round 17 Dragons v Titans

[thebigredv]

I keep waiting for the penny to drop with him. He's big and I assume he's fast (haven't seen him do more than jog it in), when's is someone going to tell him to run?

I don't doubt his potential but its a stark contrast to the way he blitzed us last year. He ambles back when bring the ball back, does some pretty benign hit ups and earns his pay for not much at all.

 

[redVinme]

Did Nene play?

Yep he was the bloke that couldn't catch. As usual

 

[MilanDragon]

I just saw a replay of Mann's try - funny that Nightingale passed for him. The limited time he has played at FB he sure does seem to have a few try assists - though by the sounds of it he had a poor game too.

One thing most on here forgot is about team chemistry and maybe McCrone for all his errors, helps with the chemistry, especially for a guy like Widdop. But of course that counts for nothing.. (at least for us experts on here)

 

[carltonsouth79]

So disappointing. We look very pedestrian at the moment. Granted key injuries and at least 3 dodgy penalties but not much to enthuse about. Clearly the Mann at half experiment didn't work. I think it also shows our lack of depth- Frizzel obviously injured before the game, no Vaughan yet Mary names a debutant forward and a half on the bench. We don't have any forwards outside the top 17. This season is just falling away. Hopefully Hunt next year will be a big impact and whatever prop we can get to replace Packer. Thought JDB, Leeson and Tariq all tried very hard.

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

Well that's this season f*#ked. May as well blood a few new players, try others in new positions, create the illusion that the coach is doing something.

 

[OzDragon]

Yeah, tell him to run straight to the unemployment office.

He won't claim benefits if he has to run. That's too much effort.

 

[getsmarty]

No doubt Widdop was poor tonigh, but his performance wasn't helped by terrible dummy half service by McIness, and a non existent halfback.

Their forwards run through us like we were made of paper .... Its clear that the Power game is folding just like it did in 2016....Coach has no Plan B...another 2 1/2 years of this crap under this clueless regime....

 

[Ben_Kusto_magic]

Same shit different year

They scored 3 ties down his wing, one when he was playing fullback. The other two were because Lafai can't stay on his man and nightingale has to some infield

 

[hazzbeen]

We need to find a replacement for Packer from our teams, he has slacked off and needs to be dropped.

The way we are going is really evident of Mary coached teams only good for half a season ...

 

[possm]

I'd argue the Dragons have been in crisis point ever since Wayne Bennett's unprofessional departure took place in 2011.

Sadly, there is no end in sight.

It was Doust that would not give Bennett the 5 year deal at 750k as season for goodness sakes. Bennett for 5 years would have given him time to bring players through.

 

[Dragsters]

Did Nene play?

I know right?

That was one of the least enthusiastic efforts I have ever seen in a dragons jumper.

He's taking the piss isn't he?

All the forwards look busted, but I suppose that happens when they are making 5 plays from 6 on every set.
Someone should tell McUsless that it's not illegal to run a play before the 5th.

 

[Coffs dragon]

Another major disappointment with everything on the line. I'm just glad I did not make the trip up to Cbus stadium to watch that shit unfold. Also why do they wear that bloody Red Jersey when they go to the Goldie with such a huge RedV fan base in QLD. So frustrating this club and team.

 

[blacksafake]

Season over, scrape a win over the Tigers and Newcastle, what's Manly and Canberra going to do to us. Hopeless. How has it come to this. What crap will McGregor wheel out in the press conference?

No doubt he'll mention the injuries & not getting the 50/50 calls. We had to rearrange players due to the injuries, blah blah blah etc etc.

 

[dungay dragon]

Pure embarrassment. Hang your head in shame, the whole team atrocious. We get to sit on this for 2 weeks.

Frizell only has eyes for Origin, thanks a lot. No doubt Dugan thought the same.

JDB Outstanding in a terribly disappointing side...Frizzell never fit and shouldnt have played...the others...... all have had their contracts and futures secured ,including the coach, whether it be here or elsewhere , and the hunger passion pride and fire has gone out of the sideJust going through the motions waiting to be beaten...What an embarrassment Would be futile if we scrapped into the Finals on recent performances.....

 

[Dragsters]

JDB, Ah Mau and Sims excused.

The rest need to have a long hard look at themselves.

Zero effort or intent with the ball.

I'm filthy with that.

It would not have mattered if Joey Johns wore the 7 tonight.

Big opportunity pissed away tonight...

Thompson had a good game.

 

[hazzbeen]

There is another 2 years of the same coming with Mary as head coach . I for one was not comfortable with his re appointment , they could have waited , but like I have said before it was always going to happen . If we didn't get rid of him after last years dismal season we were never going to replace him Thats why we let JD go ....

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Out enthused by a shit team. f**k me dead this team shits me.
