Round 2 v storm

[Lindsay Moss]

doe's anyone know what has happened pacifica tonga

Same old dribble from the same old dribblers. Kyle is useless at 6, he adds absolutely nothing. Parra will give us a hiding and unfortunately Shane and Kyle aren't going anywhere anytime soon. We were spent 3/4 in and once Gutho went off the whole team shit the bed. Let's all be positive that we stuck with a storm team that were there for the taking and somehow we lose by 26 points, yea let's all give Flanno and co a big clap clap for the handicaps, maybe a participation trophy or 5? Atkinson was shit and is a makeshift half who would be better suited as a FB and Kyle is one of the worst halves to play the game by far, no balls to take the game on, hides behind his halves partner and gets a big old high five from daddy once the games over. We are an embarrassment to the competition and some of you fans are definately related to the Flannos 100%. 0-3 to start the year is 100% going to happen we aren't beating Parra not a chance in hell

Yeah. Playing reserve grade

And how did Wayne go at the Knights? As they say, you have to have the cattle.

Our current problems stem from the terrible BOD. When Wayne left, they should have had a great recruiting team in place. The strong clubs have strong mature youngsters coming through....while their clubs are attractive to the good prospects.

Instead, the BOD ran the joint into the ground. Wouldn't spend on players or facilities. Here we are 15yrs later with everybody expecting an instant renaissance. Gould with his report was right. As someone famously said, "winning starts in the front office." We have started but redemption is still someways off.

More excuses for the coach. Unbelievable, funniest part is he was our Recruitment manager for a while there so he knew what he had and no-one wants to play for a coach with no integrity. Keaon only signed because of the $$$ he is a big lazy bastard that shouldn't be on anywhere near 1m. Thanks to Shane we are even worse then the Mary days

I agree. Sadly 75% of people on this forum accepts mediocrity which is sickening

Coach and Yound has had 3 years together no change to defence and structure .
So again our team compared to Bulldogs and Tigers have improved and on the up with players signings.
Dragons in 2 games have again shown that we dont have match winners and no speed to compete .
Every Nrl team has quality no 6 no 7 and a no 1 with speed we lack all 3 positions.
This Melbourne game at home with 20 minutes 20 .18 up and got thumped by 1 player at fullback with speed that changed the game 46 .20 not excepted as a club the Coach is fully responsible in 3 years losing games in the last 20 minutes of games not playing to 80 minutes.
The Club needs to make a big call in coming weeks if we are 0 in 4 games .

If you listen to “the guru” podcast with sowie, sowie mentions how our attacks no different to last year. He wants us to start throwing some unplanned plays and see what happens regardless of the consequences…
We were willing in the first half to throw a few rogue plays (not Kyle’s option to run on the 5th) atkinson showing why he is worth a shot… unfortunately like last year and the year before and the year before etc our attack relies on individual brilliance. Melbourne made sure to remind us on how a well oiled spine operates and a forward pack that makes you pay with momentum and field position along with a bench rotation that doesn’t get gassed.

There happy with just competing.

 

[RedVDave]

I’ll pick on him for you if you like. The dragons let Bostock and Tamale walk to keep the plodder that is Feagai. That’s how farked up this club is.

We had 2 Feagai's as well talk about a really bad buy one get one free deal.

 

[carltonsouth79]

Good post .. definitely attacking much better and running harder onto the ball.

May be down to Ennis’s work, hearing positive things about his coaching

 

[Stewartliddle]

We have Keaon coming for 1million a season to do his 20+ runs, for 200m every game. He is as bad as Sua in defence and with Keaon, Sua and Suli in our squad we might make some good metres but we are also letting in a shit load more. Suli is one of the worst centres in the game, to big and to slow to be making quick decisions against other speedy backs and got turned inside out in the charity shield from Penitani FFS. This is all Flannos decisions he is the one persisting with these bog average players. Sua faalogo would have been better money spent then Keaon in all honesty.

Results driven business at the end of the day. I didn’t know we were handing out participation awards now. Club is rotten. It’s going to be fun on this forum when this club is 0-3

So we complain when we struggle to get over the halfway line against the dogs - now we’re complaining that we’re buying a forward who makes 200m a game.
f**k me. Cant please anyone .

yep because Melbourne were going to release faalogo with no paps.
Geez

Give any forward his size 20+ runs a game and they will do the same numbers. This is our Million dollar player FFS

For pity sake , are you an undertaker by some chance ? It is not a case of your so called participating that the Dragons were beaten on the weekend, but by a team that is a few classes above most other teams in the comp.

Nor is it a case of accepting mediocrity from the team , but one realising that the effort was indeed there ,but sadly the execution was lacking on not one but numerous occasions. Nor am I or others for that matter happy with the overall performance of the players as a team , as we are not , but whinging and whining is not going to change a damn thing .

Flanagan would not be in the least happy , but unlike many on the forum over the last 2days he would not be pulling the self - destruct grenade , but rectifying the players faults so as they play as a more cohesive unit and win their matches - doing something constructive about the problem but most certainly not being morose .
