Sack Griffin

[blacksafake]

All players came through without injury.

Thank goodness for that

They did send it to the bunker who looked at it from all angles but were unable to disallow ut

Browny and Madge sacked same day!
Can we sack Hook and make it the trifecta?
If only….

Zero improvement since McGregor.
I cannot believe we have a team with Woods, Mbye, McCulloch in it, WTF is this peanut thinking!!!!?

As for woods, from memory we both had significant negative comments about that recruitment.

Yes mate, I was told I was just a negative prick.
Woods was a handy pickup, and Burgess was going to be a great buy.
Ohh, and Mbye was just going to play 14

Now is the time to hire a new coaching staff:
Flannagan/Madge
Bown
Barrett

Then have a go for as many marquee players we can get. We need Hunt at 9, not 7.

No one called me a negative prick. Well not in here anyway…..yet

I am now starting to slowly agree with the title of this thread.

Well Brown and Barrett should be automatic no ways in my opinion, but generally speaking I am concerned that the old saying “if you always do, what you have always done etc applies here. Simply changing the coach hasn’t worked so far, what’s going to change just doing that again?

I don’t pretend to have any answers but it sure seems to me the issues are deeper than just the coach.

"Woods will be a great mentor for the young forwards"
"Mbye will add great utility value while we develop the young blokes"
"They'll add valuable experience"

Those were the statements made by some on here trying to convince themselves that they weren't just ordinary signings by a club that simply can't manage better. Those same posters have long fled the forum. It was never going to be anything else with these types of signings. Taking the place of someone who might be our future and plodding along trying to stay relevant in a game that has left them behind. Can't begrudge them putting pen to paper. We are just the sad team that would see value in them along with old man McCulloigh. I mean, Trent Merrin had to take it upon himself to call it quits. That's the nature of the joint.

And nothing will change.

After performances like tonight who in their right mind would want to join our ranks? Certainly no self-respecting player who wants to taste success.

Ok, maybe we need to go all in for Payton as coach for 23 and on. Reece Robson as well.

Why would he even contemplate this.

Give him the Steelers Lesgues club

Tigers appear to have the right thinking. Gone are the days of the old school disciplinarian coach (Madge, Hook). They have come out and said they want a development coach (Ciraldo, Payton). I think it’s time we went in the same direction. The game has changed and the dinosaurs need to go.

Yes, Miller, the issues at the Dragons are much deeper than just the coach. It is the bloody squad that put us deeper into the mire. We do have a bunch of players that try their hardest but they just play dumb football even in games that they have won.

When you compare each one of our players against the Cowboys players as an example, they had us covered in most of the positions.

We have Souths, Raiders, Broncos, Roosters and Sea Eagles in the next 5 games - maybe one win. Then we have Cowboys again, Sharks, Raiders, Titans, Tigers and lastly Broncos - maybe 3 wins at best. We miss out on the top 8 is my reckoning.

Hook hasn't brought anything into the club to give me any confidence of any success for this year and next. He has to go.

 

[Gippsy]

Lets face it, we're not going to sack Griffin. But after tonight, surely he has to stop being so stubborn and make some wholesale changes.

Whilst I'm willing to admit the Hook experiment has failed the problem is and always has been the board until we remove the dinosaurs in power the results will be the same year after year.

I think payton is big on discipline it's just that the player's bought into it

I love the new terminology that has crept into the game. Development coach, old school coach, etc, what rubbish. Has any coach developed more no name players into top first graders than Bellamy, yet no one would call him a development coach. You are simply a good, bad or average coach.

It's like the dominant and surrender tackle. A tackle is a tackle and should not dictate how long you can lay on the player.

Don't know if anyone else noticed it but Gus on Ch9 was taking about the surrender tackle how it is no longer penalized. There were 2 plays in 1 set of six where a Cows player ran behind their player which is a shepherd and simply surrendered once they realised it. That's 4 penalties that could have been given but the ref ignored them all.
