Sack mcgregor

[Tuddy]

I love how McGregor set a goal of making the top eight for the team this year.

Do fans start off the season thinking that? Or is it more like we hope for a premiership?

Do players start off with a goal of making the top eight? Or do they want to play to win a premiership as well?

I can tell you why McGregor set a goal of making the eight. It was because that's all he's been told he needs to do to keep his job. Well in my opinion it's not and he looks like he can't even do that.

Any decent coach with any reasonable amount of self belief would aim for a premiership......every year. The guys never going to deliver us one because ultimately he doesn't believe it himself and if he doesn't believe it, there's no way his players will either.

If we can't sack Mary why not bring in an assistant coach with real experience like Cleary or Toovey. Either of these 2 will instill a winning culture back into the side. Also how long has it been since we have signed a genuine big name player?

Last year we made the eight and went so close to rolling the dogs....
We then had a full off season to train and recruit supposedly to address any weaknesses in the squad from the previous season.
Given that scenario to come out and say the goal is only to do as well as the previous season is poor...
Top 6 should have been the goal but as you said top 8 is all that was needed to hold his job so why aim higher then what is needed...
And now probably won't deliver top 8 either ....he must be removed asap

Anyway, sack him now

Funny thing Mulholland did the recruting then he split.

Footy show today..Johns - " Dragons were Awful"..Fittler - " No fire in the belly" Sampson - "Fans were leaving in droves" not good for the club...

Fittler followed it up with "I love lamp".

Mary screwed up by signing all these "depth" players, this is why we have this problem.

You cannot just Sack a coach.

You need to pay out his contract, the Dragons don't have the money to pay out McGregors' contract.

Unfortunately its a lose lose lose lose situation.....we keep Mary and keep losing.... we keep Mary and lose sponsorship money...we keep Mary and lose supporters and we keep Mary and I lose my hair...that being said we shouldn't owe Mary anything, as like Price they should hand the money back (said tongue in cheek)

Mary stated at the beginning of the season that he now has the depth in roster that he didn't have in 2015. He cannot have it both ways. He also released Peter M and Seb Ikahihifo. Mary never takes responsibility for poor performances....its always the players who have to take ownership..Mary now says he doesn't have the depth due to salary cap etc...

Our club is full of spin merchants...Doust /Mary...I think most people have by now had enough of the false promises. All I want is a team that looks well coached and has a dig every game. Its time to voice our displeasure by not giving the club anymore of our hard earned cash.

..it all comes down to inept coaching. It's like the Emperor's New clothing by Hans Christian Anderson.

People seem to think the club can't afford to payout Mary's last year of contract. Well if they streamlined their operation and got rid of Mary, Millward, Warwick and let the next coach do the hiring and firing, they could save alot of wasted dollars. Should have one assistant coach in say Jason Demetriou and then Hornby & Young can coach the Cutters or head to the UK for some valuable experience.
Seems to be too many old boys brigade with their noses in the trough. The Titans seem to run on a lean operation with King Henry in charge and they are building nicely.
Our club should set their sights on Madge Maguire if he looks like being the scapegoat or Garth Brennan from the Panthers and they should be given total control to rebuild.

Ok Hail Mary ...I'm guessing you're either..

Mary himself
Mary's mum
JubileeBoy
Mitch rein
Marketo

So which one are you ??

You really are a massive dickhead. Mind you, you still think there are 7 second rowers better than Frizzell

 

[coast_dragons]

Mr Red seriously can't you come up with anything better boy your a kob head.

 

[OzDragon]

I'm watching the Knights/Storm game and in 25 minutes, the Knights have showed more intent in attack and defence than the Dragons have in our past 2 games. Fk that's depressing.

Lol take a look in the mirror buddy..
You're probably the only person on earth who still the the dragons are building to something...
You've been awfully quiet the last few weeks buddy.....must be killing you to see all those so called "wrist slitters " that you so elegantly called them proved correct eh???
Karma buddy..

Watching the Penrith V Eels game...............Eels blowing them away (ATM)

One of the commentators made a comment.................

"They are a refection of their coach"

With all their dramas, they've turned up, playing for each other, looking like their having fun.

Mary are you watching, or just sinking another schooner?

 

[BringTheNoise]

It's interesting watching Parramatta right now. Salary cap scandal, issues with the Board, best player walks out, 2nd best player threatens to walk out, 3rd best player stood down over drug charges, injuries etc yet they still keep turning up and competing and making their fans proud.

Then you look at the hurdles our club has to face... Unfair calls from the bunker, opposition scoring tries off kicks, not many teams will win in North Queensland, only losing by 4 points, underestimating our opponents.... Any I've forgotten?

Now contrast the basket case of Parramatta, worst ever season on record for dramas...yet the team is turning up every week and Brad Arthur must be a cult leader as the players are just believing in him and his game plan. Just this week, no Sami, no Foran, no Norman....yet look at them...sorry the coach makes a huge difference and attitude and belief is dead at the Dragons...

You seem ecstatic you've been proven correct.
Congratulations.

We need more of this in the general media...us keyboard warriors here can't change the world...but when the sports media starts spurting the obvious that our Club is denial about...how much longer can we just go thru the motions...
I urge everyone, keep it rolling, Facebook page, email, radio stations..and get that SOS campaign back up...
