Sack Griffin

[getsmarty]

I’m certain Hook will be gone at seasons end…..following the assistants out the door.
There seems to be plenty of talk behind the scenes.

Is Anthony Griffin just stubborn or is he just not very bright?
With the season heading to a close, and winning essential for the Dragons if they are to make the eight – Griffin picks the same squad that was smashed last week!!!
The one thing the team needed last week, Was strike!
Who is possibly one of the most electrifying strike players in the club, if not the competition?
Answer - Tyrell Sloan!
Griffin stubbornly resisted putting Tyrell Sloan onto the field until it was too late!
Sloan should be on the field from the kickoff – his combination with Amone, Fegai, etc is uncanny and leads to many tries!
It is clear, that the Dragons need to be moulding the youngsters into aside ready for next season!
Get them on the field now and give them the chance to develop combination, confidence and a winning feeling!
They are the future of the Dragons!
Wake up Griffin, it is the definition of insanity doing the same thing each time and expecting a different result!

If I read James Graham's comment on NRL 360 correctly, Griffin will stick with his ancient, trusted plodders until the Dragons are not even a mathematical chance of making the 8 (ie. if the Sharks win on Saturday), and will then prepare for next year by giving the juniors a bit of a run in FG. We'll see.

Well said Saint Pete. The young guns are our future and Hook is virtually brushing them aside for fear of failure and his job.

This thread Saint Pete will have to be merged with the existing Sack Griffin thread.

I don’t want to be an alarmist, but the fact is, we have not signed any new players for next year, we have players leaving or some not to be resigned. So are we planning to fold the Club or something?

See the above Flamethrower.

When, not if, we sack Hook is Paul Greene worth considering?

I dont think so and I think he will likley be sniffing around the Titans , he really only won a comp on the back of JT in my opinion

I can't consider Paul Greene. The man played for both the Sharks AND the Roosters! Enough said!

The answer to your original question is he is both: stubbornly stupid.

I did support getting Hook 2 years ago , mainly anyone to get rid of Mary TBH

basically now
no improvement in 2 years
still terrible defence overall , this is why we actually have zero chance of making finals with such a for and against
attack abysmal and boring to watch , good teams pose a threat every play in the attacking half , saints another hit up with no attempt at offload, 1 old play out back tackle 4, crap kick on 5 th generally or the common variation of just being tackled on the last tackle on a nowhere play

old plodders McGuire , Macca , Woods , Mbye none of which would get a game at pretty much any other club brought here and persisted with at detriment of juniors now likely to leave

Hook , extended at beginning of season when no one else would go near him anyway , same excuses as per Mary
it doesn’t stop media or fan noise either way if they aren’t winning

no one wanting come club of any quality

Zero future hope of winning anything under Hook and everyone must know this already , He has never won anything significant before either !

old school plodder game plan , terrible or no defensive patterns and nothing in attack either

Even if they gave Flanagan a go this year and next and if not maybe Ciraldo if he isn’t already going to Dogs the year after ?

This is CEO and boards fault essentially with no light at the end tunnel visible I’m afraid

supporter base will crumble as all older supporters will fade out as no new ones will want to support a team who has made 1 finals appearance in over 10 years

I think I’ll just have to keep watching the 1977, 79 and 2010 wins on rotation so the pain will go away

Wow, now I am really depressed.

Thank the gods for Scotch.

Sadly hoping for a poor end season as this may precipitate a change

[WA 'S OWN RED V]

God they're so shit. Looks like we have come a long way since McGregor left. Sick griffin like yesterday.

 

[RedVee_8]

We have gotten worse since Mary left. Which boggles the mind really.

 

[RedVDave]

we are a hot a mess, Hook has got to go.

Mick Potter or Flanno would be an improvment.

Board remains our biggest problem though.
