You guys are doomsdayers!! Why would you be waiting for the club to go thru a hard time? Absolutely we may lose 2-3 games - the thing is that the potential of the team has been realized - we know what they are capable of and whatever happens from here is insignificant to the fact that the team is playing to their potential that has made them the best attacking team, best completions, top 2 team...We know McGregor can get this type of performance out of the team - we would be worried if these performances were not happening...so as far as I'm concerned McGregor has achieved!!
McGregor has proven he is our best option - we need to move our asses and sign Widdop and Dugan before the tigers offer both players $900K a season contracts and lose both players

Because my memory goes back further than 6 weeks!

I'm no doomsayer but i am smart enough to learn from my mistakes and I would expect the club to do the same.

We have been in this exact position with the same coach, went on to re-sign him then fell in a heap and suffered 2 of the most excruciating years as Dragons fan in living memory.

That's why we should wait.

Our run is beginning to smell a little like the Sharks of 2016 .. People kept waiting for them to stop winning about they grew more and more in stature and confidence . 4 wins in a row in the NRL is priceless! Your seeing teams like the Tigers going to Cowboys home ground and winning - what would we be doing to Green if he was our coach? He has copped 2 home losses totalling 60 points against Manly and Tigers FFS!!

I was thinking more like the Raiders from last year, no-one expected much from them but they kept producing.

dude!

it's round f**king 6!

douche should not be considering signing jowls at this stage of the season. there is a long way to go & jowls is certainly no creeping jesus. he is a turd that should not be polished until season's end. the prick owes us for last year.

2016 was the WORST season i have ever witnessed our team play. jowls virtually needs a grand final spot to atone for that alone.

supercoach price won the first 3 games of 2014. were you jerking off when that happened?

:p Struth , your certainly not one of these blokes who believes in ' sugar coating ' the castor oil .

It's a pressing question. Resign McGregor or re-sign McGregor. I'll post my answer in September.

I think that the board should wait until the pointy end of the season. Learn from past mistakes. No need to re-sign just yet. If we make the 8, I'd offer a 2 year deal with the the 2nd year in the clubs favor. No more 3 year deals unless you are talking about a Bennett/Bellamy type coach. I would also see who else is available regardless. That's just good management...surely that's not asking too much.

I've asked these questions before, now that Cleary and Hasler are off the market. If we don't extend Mary:

1. Who replaces him?
2. Would we be any better than we are now?

Guys there is no other coach in the picture - McGregor fits the "Coach the team only" model that the football management team have created - apart from that McGregor has proven against all our beliefs that he has instilled a playing style that suits our squad and one that is working fabulously...

Management won't announce Mcgregor till at least round 10 - I'm pretty sure all players yet to be re signed are being told that Mary will be the coach next 2 years at least.......

Suggest we leave negotiations on a new contract until end of season.

Many games left to play.

Hard to say whether Mary has improved or someone else is drawing up the game plan.

bench forward selections have been good. Difficult for any coach to get timing of replacements perfect.

Aitken, McCrone and Lafai have justified their selections. In this respect Mary deserves praise.

Am a little worried that we lost the territorial battle with Manly.

Over time this will take its toll on our defence.

Better long kicking game will assist.

I'm kind of with you, but this team is playing with a different attitude & I can't see that being repeated. Maybe McGregor & Widdop should be held accountable from past performances & do a Nudie run from Wollongong to Kogarah

The way we are now , we could not be any better . We are ahead of most teams with stats . If we continue the season as we are , then yes they would extend his time here . But before doing that lets get at least to the half way mark . 2015 still sticks in my mind 6 straight wins then lost 7 straight . So before we resign Mary I would like a few more games to see how it pans out . I would hate to sign him now then find its 2015 all over again . In saying that there seems to be a different feel about the team .....
