Round 20 vs Eels

3. Homesick

He wouldn’t be if the two issues I mentioned were adequately addressed.

 

[RedV Resurgence]

for a while there we were making 30m per tackle set and Parra were 60m. Our forwards stopped running up to meet the ball runner.

 

[Saints Forever]

Zero intensity and effort

The players are a group of lost sheep.

Last 20 minutes could get ugly.

Don’t understand why Luc doesn’t start if Tariq is carrying an injury.

Team is totally disinterested.

I’m disappointed I told the players yesterday at RedV members function to ‘rip in’ for today. They have not followed my instructions- heads to roll on Monday..

I would have told them to go and get.

McInnes I swear seems to make every tackle, he is non stop.

If the rest of the c...ts had half his heart we would be in this shite.

Agree to disagree mate... Loads of issues for sure but for me he shows up once every 4 games and for 1M plus we simply need more... anyway hope he comes out has a blinder in 2nd half...

Fair enough, however Hunt’s problems mirror exactly what Widdop has endured since 2014.

I'm buying a hot dog!

Nene McDonald at the game and talking to fans. Indication is he talking to dragons. Come home Nene!

I think that’s what my post implies i.e criticism at Hunt is unfair.

Yeah, sorry.... Should have started that sentence with "I agree,..."

Isn’t there a warrant out for his arrest?

There is so much wrong with the way this team plays footy I don’t know where to start:
Defence:
* No line speed
* weak initial contact
* no wrestle
* right centre is regularly beaten on the inside
* left wing doesn’t compete for the high ball
* slow to cover middle of the ruck
* no numbers in defence, only 2 in tackle
* no pressure on the kicker
* centres have no idea how to protect fullback and wingers under the high-ball
Attack:
* No support play
* always one out first 2 or 3 tackles
* no leg speed
* forwards starting deep and not hitting the ball at speed
* halves and outside back standing way too shallow
* running poor lines

It’s been the same for five years, probably longer. It all comes down to how they are coached and trained.

We need a fast fullback. Norman is a 5/8. Dufty please.

 

[Btk]

Hunt’s either:

1. pissed off by having so many five-eighths.

2. sick of McGregor.

Maybe it’s both?

I couldn’t blame him.

Ben is the last of the Dragons’ problems.

2.
2.
and 2.

Half time speech will sort all of that out - we got this!!!

Hi Guys

I've been away overseas for a month and today is the first game I have seen the Dragons play. It has been such a relief not to have watched the other games during my absence as they lost every one of them - no stress. What a pathetic team we have, no structure in defence and worse in attack. Just taking the ball up one at a time - so easy for the eels to defend. No razzamattaz - so boring and uninspiring.

Our guys just don't have it in them - they seem to have a lack of interest. They are trying but not at 100%. The bigger names we have a doing f**k all.

I think that we will not win anymore games the way we are playing. The worse year we have had in ages. A million and one things said about our coaches and the SGI administration and unfortunately by the looks of things next year will be the same as this and maybe worse.

I used to look forward to watching the Dragons but not much interest now. I get more enjoyment watching other teams playing attractive football using well trained methods and skill.

The second half of this game could be a different story but I do not think so!!

Cheers
