Round 25 vs Bunnies (Goodbye Corey)

[Dragsters]

He tried to sign Israel Folou, he wanted to make JDB captain, he wanted to extend Corey Normans contract, he selected Norman all season even though his form was horrible.
He failed to get the team up for games, last night they looked disinterested.
Their defence was horrible, by the end of the season it was comical.
That’s the negatives, the headscratchers.

He’ll get a better roster next year and gets a fresh start, I will be positive and ready to go by next season but right now I am bitterly disappointed with how the season has finished.
Let’s hope that 2022 we are praising Hook not criticising him.
Chat cricket soon mate, Ashes year!

Whist I wasn't expecting miracles, it was a very disappointing season in many respects and coaching was indeed one of them.

Griffin has a full off-season and next season with some new recruits and a bunch of promising youngsters to improve our lot and prove his with worth.

Twelve months on though, I can't help but wonder where would be if we had indeed courted and signed Shaun Wane this time last year?

We will never know the answer but can only hope things improve dramatically under the current coaching regime...

Yes cricket season and discussions on Langer, Usman etc I can’t wait.

Just before we finish on footy I keep seeing things re Hook wanting to make JDB captain and extend Norman is that indelible and available to read or watch ad I would like to understand it in context.

The IF issue is interesting and by taking all emotion out if it and looking at it from a strictly footy point of view I fully understood his position and don’t forget the manipulation of the NRL for it to be run up the flag pole.

If you want to look at in from a proactive view it is obvious that Hook can attract far better players than Mc Fookknuckle ever could and that is why Hook inherited a shipwreck but has been able to patch some of holes in the hull

Before we end this discussion on this game, it should be pointed out that there was 2 players, who I believe, turned in herculian performances.

1. JDB -

1 try assist
1 line break assist
59 tackles 0 misses
0 errors

2. Bud Sullian

Congratulations to both of them. Outstanding!

Hopefully Uzzy has a big season for the Thunder, he won’t be getting any call ups for Australia, not one of “the boys”.
If anyone even mentions Burns name for the Australian teams I will lose my shit.
Langer (your mate) under a bit of pressure this year, it seems some of the senior players are a bit tired of his “passion”

GO THE TITANS , it will mean the sharks miss out.

It will be interesting to see who are the openers in running for a spot keeping in mind Warner is no longer a youngster either.

Hopefully we have a good calendar organised with plenty of Shield cricket with a full compliment of players.

I watched the Test on Amazon, he looks a pain in the arse I’d hate to be coached by him. Cricket is probably better with a more technical coach like Buchanan was imo.

Well adios gummies

Ask Oldtimer what he thinks of Langer, he hates Langer more than he hates Scott Morrison!

I don’t hate him he was a good player but it would be hard to go on long tours to places like India with a ticking time bomb like him.

Now that’s a bit of a stretch the cricket season doesn’t last 52 weeks.

 

[Dragon David]

Just watching the Tigers v Bulldogs game. The Bulldogs are keeping the Tigers scoreless. Even though they have the spoon, they will win their last game and there are smiles all round. They also will be looking at a new season with greater players in their squad. Winning changes your outlook. Hopefully our guys' outlook will be positive for next year.

 

[Gourley's Socks]

And with the Warriors getting thumped, the Dragons finish the year in 11th. So at that rate we'll be top four material in 2028 and giving the competition a real shake by the next decade.

Gotta stay positive.

David seasons end we ended up being IMO the worst team ( maybe Tigers on par ) .......

Well Illusion I agree. In the last 8 games of the comp we were the worst team. We lost all of our games as you know and the other bottom 8 teams had wins in their final 8 games.

We were indeed a sorry lot. If anyone started to watch the sport from round 18, they would have thought that we were the wooden spooners.

No, it isn't an illusion it's a fact!

 

[baggygreen man]

Has it been mentioned that we gifted the Rabbits their first four tries with shocking handling by our centre pair and rava. The beast was also out of position for one try. Far too many fundamental errors spoil all the good stuff. Pretty much the story of our season. One try shud also have been disallowed as the Bunny clearly pushed Feagai into Sloan as he tried to settle under the bomb. Bunker and refs musta been blind. There was again some brilliant vision by Amone onto JDB for Sloan to sprint for a try. Or was it a set play. Still great to see from such a young pair.
What did we rate Norman's final game.. I am giving him 7.. did some good things.

This kid is a quick learner. Great tackle numbers. Musta missed half his tackles in his first game. Like to see him running a bit more if he plays there next year..
