Cmon fellas we got rid of McGregor....do we really expect to make changes to the team as well....you cant have 3 Christmasess in the one year..its not in our DNA
Come on no one at the Dragons have done those things for years since BennettIf only it were as simple as the coach making a few team changes. The coach must also come up with a team plan, work out the cowboys strengths and weaknesses, and figure out strategies to nullify the first and exploit the second. He has to work on any of the weaknesses in our team and figure out a way to motivate them.
I'd rather see an improvement in motivation and evidence of strategy than some team changes that probably won't make a difference anyway.
No enforcement amongst the forwards , yea Friz , McInnes play hard but no Mungrel dog .....

Through injury though Dorothy; hardly think Des is the great promotor and experimenter. Ask Canterbury!Hasler has named talented rookie 5/8 Josh Schuster among his reserves this weekend. Not played any CC games this year. Very interested to see if he gets a run now Manly out of finals contention.
And we still playing Norman.
Fair call Walpole, like to see that too, but mainly because I never see them play in reserve grade (see current thread) etc, and no ones playing CC anyway.The latest team list is disappointing but not unexpected. For mine, four games would be a nice run to see if Sailor has anything to offer at 5/8 or how Blacker goes off the bench.
But I guess Deano thinks this is the team to take him all the way to no.9 and a six year contract.
Agreed, I haven't seen much of them either, but Sailor has had a taste of NRL and Blacker has played CC and been part of the squad of 21 for a while now. I think their situation is a little different to the Feagai's for instance, who haven't really played above U20s at all.Fair call Walpole, like to see that too, but mainly because I never see them play in reserve grade (see current thread) etc, and no ones playing CC anyway.
But let’s say as some of the forum members recent posts questioning these players ability at this level, particularly in defence are right, then isn't Young judgement sound. He’s closer than us to assess this surely?
Fair call; I’d like to see that as well; unless of course Young knows Sailors going then his omission makes sense.Agreed, I haven't seen much of them either, but Sailor has had a taste of NRL and Blacker has played CC and been part of the squad of 21 for a while now.

The thing that worries me is that if Dean Young is still trying to win games with the same tired old selections then he's still in the running for the top job, which is not what we need. I think it would be a lot better for the club if he knew this coaching stint was only for 6 games and his goal was to establish some new combinations or provide greater opportunities for some of the fringe players.
I mean, we just got beaten by the Gold Coast, our top 8 chances are gone and he's picked the same team, bar Fui in for Merrin.
If a proper review was conducted we would have gotten rid of Mary, Young and Millward. If that happened we would see major positive change within the football department of our club.Cmon fellas we got rid of McGregor....do we really expect to make changes to the team as well....you cant have 3 Christmasess in the one year..its not in our DNA
