Post of the year! A really succinct analysis of the situation.
I just hope that you are right and that this kind of thinking is operating behind the scenes at the club rather than the way it appears - that we buy plodders and journeymen cos we can't attract better players to the club or sit on our hands while people like Nicho Hynes come onto the open market.

I would also like to say that whilst we can talk about the 2 years of COVID and the lack of KOE and junior grade football, the Dragons have been awful apart from a couple of years for the last 10-12 years, what are the excuses for that !!!!

Is this a serious photo?

To Brian Johnston and Andrew Gordon it is. Johnston looks hypnotised and Andrew is snickering - saying to Johnston, "on the count of three stare at the camera". Gordon jnr looks like his chin is disappearing - a pity he didn't all over.

 

[Dragon David]

There is no Ciraldo rumour.
Webster on the 9 Footy Show said
He would like it if.
Ciraldo came to SGI when his contract ran out at Penrith
2023....same time as HOOKS
contract is up.
No rumour, just some wishful thinking from Andrew Webster.

Come to think of it, why would Ciraldo want to come to this Dinosaur era of a club anyway Webster? The wishful thinking is like going to Santa and asking him to grant you a first prize win in Powerball. It never happens.

In my opini0on, our biggest problems are at the Board level and not much will change until this problem is addressed. Appointing Craig Young as Chairman of the Board (along with Doust being the big power-brokers of the Club) gives the wrong message to everyone. It says that self-interest is rewarded at St George Illawarra.

I am very sure that the appointment of Dean Young as our next head coach is at the front of mind of our Chairman right now. Griffin will stay in place until the Board is ready to appoint Dean.

The only solution to our problems is to first replace the entire St George Leagues Club Board, then the St George Football Club Board, and then those St George Illawarra Board members from the St George side. A really big feat but that is what is required to get some decent people in charge. Hopefully, if this happens, the WIN Corp representatives on the Board will wither change their ways or join the idea of change.

A big influx of St George Leagues Club members with voting rights is what will begin this process. Ideally, there would also need to be some amongst these new members that are of a mind to bring about such change.

I agree with your first paragraph Possm. Whist I believe the incumbent board members are generally well intentioned, they are not up to the job of overseeing the integrity and continuous improvement of a professional sporting organisation.

It is unlikely that the board will encourage successful business people to stand for a board position because it would mean that one of their own will need to fall on his or her sword. Therefore, it is up to the members to identify a suitable candidate, convince him or her to sand for a board position and then rally support amongst other members.

If such a movement could be started, it is likely that members of this forum and other such forums would offer support and assistance.

Could Flannagan be our Potter? Appoint him as interim head coach and we will see. If Flannagan goes well enough, Dean Young will have to find another club if he wants to be a head coach.

Who would have thought that the Dogs could be the Eels 34-4?

Hook won't be sacked. Flanagan has not indicated anywhere that he would like to be head coach of the Dragons. The outstanding win by the Bulldogs over the Eels was a beauty. Shock wins like these can happen. Bulldogs were playing to win and the Eels thought that would win - a big difference.

Does Suli now get a spell in the reggies after a dismal defensive game?

If the coach is consistent then Suli goes the same way as Sloan, granted I felt Moses tried to make up for it with the ball in hand.

Did Griffin tear strips off him too or does he just do that to the rookies?

These are all questions that keep me up nights.

At least Suli scored a try- Lomax gifted the opposition one and tried to blame it on his wingman.

Why would Flanagan say anything publicly about a team he is employed by whilst a coach he works with is still under contract
Are you crazy!

Webster hates Hook, of course he would say that

Commen sense says Sack griffen and sign the Walker brothers.

I'm not crazy - I just don't think that Flanno is wanting to coach us. Just my gut feeling, that's all, but sometimes my head thinks otherwise.

Never trust a Homo - that's what I was taught but I'm old school.

F**** Off Israel Folau, we already told you you're not welcome. You can be "old school" all you want, just don't do it around here. Lame arse bigot.

 

[WepnutV]

Sack griffen sign the Walker brothers b4 someone els does.

 

[zombiebloodlust]

On what planet is signing the Walker brothers "common sense?"

They have't coached a Queensland Cup side since 2019, and even when they did coach Ipswich - after 1 title in 2015 they went steadily backwards in the years after. The only thing they bring to a club is a mystifyingly great media presence thanks to lazy reporters who keep telling us how good they are

 

[WepnutV]

The walker brothers reckon they can make the eight in there first year and griffen needs to go wich gives us a year and half to find a decent coach and see what the walker brothers can do in the meantime. To me its commen sense

What I like about the Walker Brothers is that they sang a couple of great songs - one of which is this:

The Sun Aint Gonna Shine Anymore

oops, wrong Walker Bros.
