TBF, Parramatta didn’t bring a lot of fans either. I was surprised that the crowd was under 9k because it seemed bigger.

I concur, this is by FAR I mean nothing even comes near this team as the WORST St George team Ive ever seen in all my 45 years as an obsessed fan hanging on every tackle and pass....Im beyond disgusted, I feel numb...Im sickened by this Creep Mcregors face he MUST go asap or we have NO chance!
They played like a pack of uncoordinated crayfish. Long gone are the days when the Dragons were described with reverence. They are now viewed as one of the less than ordinary clubs by most outside the St George fraternity. Devastatingly bad coaching, recruitment and club management are at the core of the demise. Long suffering fans deserve better.
Or this one Dennis...."today obviously puts away any thought of playing finals regardless of the results"...........
You may have been emotional after the loss yesterday, so, with all due respect, this is a dumb post. Frizzell and Hunt are Kangaroos, Norman is now an Origin player. The only thing they have in common with Marketo and McCrone is the idiot coaching them.
Jesus would lose all his teeth chewing his nails in frustration sorry to any religious folk!
You watch he’ll rock up to the semis with the side suited up and sitting in the crowd in their playing gear because he can’t accept missing the semis lol

McGregor says new feeling will be difficult to accept

A deflated St George Illawarra coach Paul McGregor says it will be hard to accept his side are out of finals contention.
The Dragons showed little in their 12-4 loss to the Eels despite several opportunities to draw level with the visitors in an otherwise dire contest in Kogarah.
McGregor has already labelled 2019 as one of the toughest he'd ever been a part of but the reality finally kicked following the result with the Dragons officially knocked out of finals contention.
"It's the first time in my coaching career I haven't been in a semi-finals position at this time of the year," McGregor said.
"The last couple of weeks have been pretty hard because when you're not winning games you're out of finals contention. You build your whole year and team around that so it's difficult.
"I'm not going to hide the fact when you're not winning games of footy everyone wants to know why and the reasons behind it.
Match Highlights: Dragons v Eels
"Everyone wants to come at you and attack you but as a coach you've just got to make sure you're comfortable being uncomfortable."
The Dragons have several reasons to finish the season strong in 2019 with James Graham in line to play his 400th first grade game (including Super League matches) next week against the Gold Coast.
Dragons skipper Gareth Widdop will also depart the club at season's end after working his way back from a shoulder reconstruction.

"[I've got to] stay composed and still keep the boys confident," McGregor said.
"I'm competitive as ever and you just want to make sure you finish on a strong note. There's a part of me that wants to win, a big part."
McGregor was confident the team would continue to show a desire he believes has been there over the past fortnight despite the results not going in their favour against the Eels and Rabbitohs.
"We played two teams in the top six who are playing with a bit of confidence," he said.
"We're down on confidence and not winning games of footy. Everything is a little bit clunky. Our execution is not where it needs to be.
"I don't think the effort was any different than last week."
McGregor was confident prop Paul Vaughan won't have a case to answer for two crusher tackles – one of which was placed on report – in the side's loss.
Vaughan left the field with a dislocated finger in the second half in a mixed game for the NSW prop.
"I just feel that Parramatta are a good offload side and they spin well in tackles so their backing into the contact," he said of Vaughan's tackling efforts.
"Sometimes you can't avoid those tackles. There was too many of them. They're pretty hard to avoid."

Even the Dogs are showing massive improvement and play with pride in their jumper.
The only way we will win a game this year is if the other team lose it ....
I agree as I said in a previous post WCD, if his groin is that bad surely he wouldnt have been considered for Origin..it was only suspension that made him ineligible for game 3......
Sounds like a maryism lol
Mrs Possm says that they are ruining her life. She said after yesterdays game, she will be going out next time they play because she does not want to put up with my bad mood afterwards.
Mrs Possm is a very smart woman .......
sounds like the wizard of OZ !!!! and as supporters if we just follow the yellow brick road we might just end up where ? And Mrs Possm might just be describing the one and only supercoach
