I still do not know what to say that hasn't already been said watching whatever you call what I watched today. It wasn't a footy game. A Black comedy show maybe?

Maybe I will see the bright side of the season when the shock wears off but for now - wow

Lomax in tears at the end of his time at his junior club says it all

This club will break anyone

I hope Flanno is made of kryptonite, that's who strong he will need to be.

Thanks to my fellow supporters for your company and Banter through this season.

I loved sharing this season with you all and reading your posts, especially the funny ones that
cheered us all up.

Appreciate everyone here and all of the different honest opinions.

All the best Gardenia and thank you for your posts. In fact thank you to all of you.

We were hoping for a miracle this last month but we will have to wait until next year now and it doesn't get any easier. The bulk of the players we have are not first grade material as far as I aqm concerned. Maybe if our forwards were more dominant Hunt might have been better but as a leader of men in battle, he was left floundering and he virtually kept pulling out the white flag.

How did we surrender the lead today? What happened to our defence? How did we score those many points in 10 minutes last week in the second half and not score any in the second half today? Utterly so puzzling. Except for a few of the guys, the majority were plain piss weak and should not play first grade again in my opinion.

Sorry for the rant Gardenia. Hope your days ahead are good ones.

Cheers DD

You certainly do have a lot of work to do in the off season Mr Flanagan. Get those whips cracking and give your assistants a couple of upper cuts as well because they have made you look like shit. Mr Dean Young - the Cowboys have virtually flourished this year without your services. Mr Todd Payten me thinks was very happy to see you go.

Off topic a bit but I wonder now who the superstars where in the 2010 Premiership winning squad....certainly no immortals....but our defence was the best (points differential +219) and we had 'enforcers' in the forwards like Beau Scott & Jeremy Smith (if I rightly recall)....a champion team will always beat a team of champions.
  1. Darius Boyd - Fullback
  2. Brett Morris - Wing
  3. Mark Gasnier - Centre
  4. Matt Cooper - Centre
  5. Jason Nightingale - Wing
  6. Jamie Soward - Five-eighth
  7. Ben Hornby - Halfback (Captain)
  8. Neville Costigan - Prop
  9. Dean Young - Hooker*
  10. Michael Weyman - Prop
  11. Beau Scott - Second-row
  12. Ben Creagh - Second-row
  13. Jeremy Smith - Lock
Interchange: 14. Nathan Fien 15. Trent Merrin 16. Jarrod Saffy 17. Matt Prior
※Luke Priddis - dummy-half


Coach Wayne Bennett

Well after getting myself well and truly inebriated on black tea - that’s right gents , no milk , no sugar , potent stuff ! I have now come to the realisation that yet another season has come to a end with a resounding thud .

We have scored 64 points in our final 2 matches and we still could not secure a victory . As a number of other members have mentioned the Dragons have just too many park footballers in our squad .

Feel for Sua , JDB and Liddell among others , alas some I would not waste my time on . Surely after today’s performance Flanagan must finally realise that Hunt must be given his marching orders if the team can move on and improve next year .

I don’t wish to go into great detail about the Dragons captain as we are all aware of his deficiencies , I will only say that I most sincerely hope that this is the last occasion that I need to mention his name .

Our boys fell to sleep in the 2nd half and that final miraculous try by Horsburge was simply blind luck . Not saying that they did not deserve their win , but it was certainly helped by our hot and cold moments by our players some of which simply are not up to NRL standards .

See you all here next season fellas and gals - regardless of what some have said you will be back again after a couple of weeks sulking - why ? Because we all have that red and white blood coursing through our veins ! 😇

how is it most people in here are super quick to jump all over the fullback when he misses a 1 on 1 on a bloke at least 20kgs heavier, and nothing is said of the front line who parted like it was the Red Sea?
Not absolving Sloan, just pointing out they have to break the line before it gets to him
Exactly. The stacks on Sloan always come after we lose. Sloan and Suli (lomax gone)are the only two backs that give us a chance.
