After the Charity shield questions would have to been asked. Where is COYNE on all of this,where is his imput. Or was the "performance commity" just another smoke screen?
It's all smoke and mirrors.The committee did us long suffering fans some hope of change. Apart from the signing of Hunt and our emerging juniors nothing concrete has been forthcoming.
I would give the club an A for the signings.
I would think that coaches would have by now, tied their future in for 2018 and beyond.
The list of available coaches is not great and should be a priority for the club.
Reports now say that Hasler could be getting an extension, Cleary is denying having even spoke to us.
We need answers but the silence is deafening from Doust and his merry men

to be honest with you guys I wouldn't be surprised if you guys do win. The Pennies don't have a great record winning the first match of season. Lets hope for a great game and the refs don't stuff it up somehow. May the best team win!!!!

Well said superpanther and enjoy the game.

Yes, we are still a chance early games are a bit of a lottery and it's a new year and it is at Kogarah.

The weather will be in Saints favour. Mary's game plan (umm, lets just call that know for $hits and giggles) seems to only work in the wet. They won a few close games in the wet in his infamous 2015 season which was one of the best in the Dragons history according to the McGregor family. Hopefully Pemrith can go for field goals if they are 2 down.

The Chopping Block 2017 NRL season ladder: 16 to 11th
Roar Guru
By Ron Swanson, 3 Mar 2017 Ron Swanson is a Roar Guru

"Let’s take a look into the crystal ball and have a free throw at the stumps in predicting the NRL ladder, starting with the side predicted to run stone motherless.

16. St George Illawarra Dragons
The only way for Paul McGregor’s mob is down. After a disappointing 2016, 2017 will be worse for the merged entity. The ‘Oust Dust’ campaign will rival Donald Trump protesters and swell in numbers larger than the new US President’s inauguration.

Player to watch: Jai Field. Looked good playing the Nines but yet to be tested in first grade or playing under the coach’s game plan of ‘bore the bejesus out of the opposition and hope to strike at the death’.

Little-known fact: Ray and I fell asleep during 56 per cent of Dragon games in 2016."


Don't hold back. Tell us what you really think Ron?

I was depressed about 2017, but then reluctantly watched McAnchor's interview:

"We can't play the styles that other teams play, so we've come up with our own style, it'll suite the players we have"

f**k me, is he serious????

Does he seriously not know that this f**king 'style' is the joke of the NRL

Dont be depressed ALSGI, our team is full of REPs and International players! Even McCrone is a Rep player! He played for Country once, a long long time ago, AND he has played 140 nrl games!!!!
And did you know that Lafai is also an international?
We are truly blessed. Exciting times!

I can't believe McGregor said this ( oh wait yes I can ).
The McCrone and Lafai quotes are right up there with his best ( and our worst )

So if he has a team of "Rep" players - we should be winning - right ? Wrong !

Therefore , the only answer is He Can't Coach !!!!

The only solution is for losses by big margins. I'd rather see us lose 5-6 games and the end of Mary then to sit through another year of his rubbish. What the f*#k are the CEO and board doing allowing this clown anywhere near a clipboard? Isn't his tenure and incompetence bringing the club into disrepute?

McGregor backs forwards

Lead the way: Dragons prop Russell Packer is named to start in the NRL season opener against Penrith. Picture: Adam McLean

COACH Paul McGregor has pinned his NRL future on the Dragons steamrolling teams this season.

In a bullish mood before St George Illawarra’s season opener against Penrith at Kogarah, McGregor said he had designed his entire plans around the big men in the middle.

“Certainly, out big, powerful forward pack needs to lay the foundation for blokes to play off,” he said.

“We know we can’t play styles that other teams play, so we’ve come up with our own style, that will suit the players we have and you’ll see it out there tomorrow. With the bench and the middle (running forwards) that we’ve got, we want to play a power game.

“We want to play through teams instead of around them.”

The Dragons have come under criticism again after producing mixed pre-season form, including winning just one of their three games at the Auckland Nines and a 32-14 loss to South Sydney in the Charity Shield.

Recruited from Canberra, Paul Vaughan has been named to start in Saturday’s game, alongside Russell Packer, with Jack de Belin at lock and Tariq Sims, Leeson Ah Mau and Jacob Host on the bench. NSW representative second-rower Tyson Frizell can also muscle up through the middle.

“There’s nothing between our starting front-rowers and our bench front-rowers,” McGregor said. “There aren’t many teams in the competition that can say that, I honestly believe that.

“We’ve got some tough, experienced players through the middle and that’s why I don’t need to carry an extra (forward) on the bench.”

I think we all need some happy pills.I really found the chopping blocks comments bloody funny that him and his mate fell asleep in 56% of dragons games.He might have found the answer to insomnia.I myself on the other hand have just had the life sucked out of me slowly.Ive been reduced to no more yelling or throwing things just a slow dribble comes out from the side of my mouth.Cant wait for more mcdooshbag foozzball.

Come on everyone buck up a bit.

A really good sauce of mine has confided in me that despite the poor on field performances St GI have actually been the envy of all other teams ever since Mc Fookknuckle was appointed as our coach.

In the post game get togethers the St GI "boat race team" have been undefeated since Price got the chop, which evidently really put his chin out of joint.

Worcestershire admitted to me that most experts originally thought the unrivalled success of the drinking team came from "Crowny King" PD leading off for the team but the other coaches have scotched that idea and put it all down to Mc Fookknuckle being our anchor.

Price was reported as trying to keep his chin up and when interviewed recently said a return to the team was not out entirely out of the question as he was sure his actual legacy would look far more favourable by the end of the year.

You haven't been speaking to Eddie the Tupperwear salesman have you O.T. ?
I heard that he was recuperating somewhere down Kogarah way , alas , still a bit under the weather .
