Round 22 vs Sharks

[possm]

Surely supercoach will give Lomax a go at fullback next week as Norman gives us nothing. Rav is a certain to go to CC so will this be sailors blooding ?? Kerr ant Timms must be brought in to replace kaufusi and latimore ....... But we still have NO alternative but to play Lafai and Aitken ,,,

Yes Millward is doing a fine job.
Signs Aitken and Lafai long term, lets Macdonald, Garrick and Herbert go and signs a couple of reserve grade wingers in Ravalawa and Pearson because they are big and tall and love taking the high ball. Millward signs a washed out centre in Maranta only to find all of the backs he recruited are not up to the task and proved not to be better than the ones who departed the Club prior to the start of season 2019.

What a mess

What a mess

Yep and when they play we never kicked to them anyway ( wingers )

 

[possm]

Ford was our best centre today. When he was on he did all the defending that Aitken should have done, followed through on kicks like Aitken should have done, and scored a centres try like Aitken should have done.

I've been signing the praises of Ford, Timm and Kerr all season. Mary just does not have a clue.

What a mess

Milward said maranta wasn’t a fg signing only to teach the younger guys which proves milward and McGregor aren’t on the same page
He also signed the most dominant front rower in timms who hasn’t even seen any fg
And quite frankly if he can get any to sign to play under McGregor imagine if he had a coach to attract players

What a mess

Lafai was a gun centre when he was first signed. Aitken started OK as well when he first came to first grade. Ravalawa showed promise too. It's not Millward's fault MacGregor has found a way to de-skill players.

As Panthers fans the wife and i were gutted you guys didn’t get the points today it could have been very beneficial for us come end of regular season.

I know how much Mary is despised by Dragons fans and I agree his time should have been up some time ago but today some of the errors from individuals and poor options were frustrating for us to watch so can only imagine what you guys were going thru.

I actually felt a little sorry for Mary it must have been painful for him too particularly given there were opportunities which were not taken and probably should have been.

Just from an outsider’s perspective and I’m not saying anything you guys don’t already know but Norman is not a fullback, Lafai should not be anywhere near first grade and Widdop is a huge loss even if his kick late in the game leading to the seven tackle set was a poor option.

The nucleus of a decent side is there no doubt, good forward pack but definitely like the Panthers light on in the outside backs and full back.

 

[Dragonslayer]

You know your teams in trouble when Graham tops the run metres stat.

 

[Crush]

Oh, while I am at it, I have given Aitken shit all year, and rightly so.
But Lafai can go and get f**ked as well. His time "under the radar" is over. He offers nothing.

Yes thankyou!
Absolute passenger. Most frustrating player on the roster for me. Its like he doesn't try.

 

[Frank Facer]

Another nail in the coffin for Mary. They have to sack him now don't they? lol. We have got Easts next week. lol

 

[Wittenberg]

Once again our centres the difference.... good work Mary maybe pick the same f**king centres week in and week out it seems to cost the team every single f**king week

Yep and did you notice Aitken was easily the back who did most defence - 22 tackles while Lafai only did 8. WHY? Because the Sharks like every team we play, aims their attack to Aitken’s side. Why wouldn’t you, success will come.

 

[Wittenberg]

We had enough football to win 50 games

We do not have 1 player with a footy brain

We actually only had 46% of the possession and only 43% in the first half. No we didn’t have enough ball to win 50 games, but we gave up enough ball to lose 50 games.

Don't feel sorry for Mary he picks the team each week and won't drop under-performing players

 

[Wittenberg]

I backed the Sharks in my tipping.
But f*"#$&me how much crap do we need to see. These blokes had a chance to win and blow it all from that stupid kick from Widdop when we still had a couple of tackles remaining to get field position. Mary can't stop that shit from one of our better players.
Can't wait for 2020.

I get the frustration but I CAN wait till 2020 because we will have the same Mary, the same CEO, the same Board, the same players (except for Widdop, Robson & anyone else leaving - don’t Frizz! ) and we will attract no quality newbies. Oh yeah and the JDB saga will still be going.....yes bring on 2020.

Why would anyone have optimism for next year? If you reckon this season has been awful, wait to see what happens in 12 months time.

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

McInnes is worth keeping.
EVERY OTHER PLAYER CAN GET F#@KED!

Despite being along Leilua as one of Saints’ best today, McInnes is still subject to annoying brain farts. Case in point was his forced pass to Sims just moments after making a try saving tackle.

 

[Tuddy]

Yes thankyou!
Absolute passenger. Most frustrating player on the roster for me. Its like he doesn't try.

I remember him trying just before his last contract was up but can't remember seeing jack since.

Good take from an outsiders perspective , however your own fullback Edwards is , at least imo , has been doing a damn good job, very safe taking the high balls and also thinks nothing of putting his body on the line - fine acquisitions for that position.

 

[Dragsters]

Watch the game delayed.

That was rubbish.

We are rubbish.

Sharks are rubbish.

Best case scenario for us is to get lapped by the rorters, rolled by the tigpies and hope the media finally start to apply plenty of pressure on our board of denialists and they finally remove the inept one...

Add to that the nightmare that fans have had to endure since Bennett left....Enough is enough....

Dragons press conference

https://www.foxsports.com.au/video/league/nrl/press-conferences/dragons-press-conference!743172

The old they scored 2 tries off kicks and one off the 5th tackle....

Does that mean the one we scored off a kick doesn't count ???

Lucky for us they bombed 4 certain tries...they could have been up 30 - 0

Absolute stinker of a game....better team won...margin should have been much bigger.....
