Why Sack Mary, he has done a great job this year. Below is a compilation of statics taken from NRL site. We are well in the upper echelons of all these stats with the exception of the actual ladder. If results in our golden point games went our way, and we did not lose a couple of the unlucky games they would have been 2nd or 3rd on the ladder.

Club Statistic Totals as at 29th Aug for Dragons

Ladder: 9th
Points For: 5th 513
Points Against 6th 424
For and Against: 3rd 89
Line Breaks: 2nd 118
Try Assists: 4th 66
Missed tackles: 2nd 596
Possession %: 5th 51% average
Tackle Breaks: 1st 940
All Run Meters: 1st 1707 average
Total Errors: 5th 231
Penalties Conceded: 1st 127

Next year with Hunt, we may improve a little on our last tackle options, so things will be even brighter.

Nice spin.
If he has done such a bang up job, how come we have only won 6 from our last 16?? Why are we in a 'last man standing' fight for the 8??
Is Ben Hunt going to make up for poor bench use, lack of opportunities for juniors & overall game plan??

Because Mary is an imposter and king of the excuses. If we lose on Sunday and miss the 8, he will still claim 2017 as a success (remember everyone was tipping we would finish bottom 2). He'll then proceed to quote some of the stats provided above - which is all bollocks. At the end of the day the most important thing is results. Not stats.

No need to convince me.

All the more reason to sack him.
With stats like these a very good coach would have looked for the minor premiership as his 1st goal.
Our bloke is looking to make the 8 with a last gasp final round victory.
With the above stats all you need to apply is good selection policy, good game planning, good player rotation throughout the season and finally good bench utilisation.
These are what the coach needed to bring to the table and he failed on all accounts.
Vaughan a prop has scored 8 tries and Mc Donald a winger our supposed big signing has scored 6 says it all.
The prop with individual effort and no game plan has outshone the bloke who is supposed to finish off back line moves.

F*ck using stats to support jowls.

We should not be where we are on the ladder if he is a good coach.

And as such, the stats provided condemn him more so because under a better coach, they would be reflected in a top 2 or 3 finish.

Sack him.

It's exactly why we must sack McGregor and move on.
Have you asked yourself why we are 9th and fighting to make the finals?
Good stats do not necessarily translate into competition points and premierships.
On the other hand, an accomplished coach may well have had us in the top four and primed for title push.
With Hunt coming on board next year, the need to upgrade our current coaching structure becomes even more compelling.

I know I am flogging a dead horse but 1 forward pass try that the Sharks scored in the dying minutes is the difference between Saints being 5th and 9th. That would justify the stats as per above.

They would not have to rely on beating the Dogs if they were in that position.

The flogged Manly twice, Beat Penrith twice, beat Cowboys and Sharks and are 9th (Should have beaten them twice). Bit harsh if Saints don't make the 8. It is a good effort and you cannot really deny Mary some credit. Has any other team not made finals on 28pts? Another unwanted record for the Saints. If Saints flog the Dogs it shows that the losses to the bottom sides were purely attitude problem thinking they were an easy 2 points and got beat. If the lose to the Dogs then they have a crap attitude and all to blame not just Mary.

If Saints finish 7th (which is a good chance if they win) it will be probably the position they deserved to finish on stats and results because I feel they probably have been the 7th best in the comp.

Plus the way he has handled Dugan is gutsy as well. At least players are now on notice if the screw up. You can see why Dragon's did not fight that hard to keep Duges and this week justified it all.

We are dead set going 'round and 'round in circles.
Answer this honestly.
Do you think we can win the comp with McGregor as coach?

Conversely dude, decisions flowing our way also benefit our spot.

Losing a game courtesy of a bad decision is footy dude. You have 80 minutes to win it. You should have done enough in the previous 79 minutes.

We threw away at least 3 games through complete ineptitude reflecting shithouse coaching.

There is no f**king excuse.

Yes, have to agree LG ................ another worry to consider is that if McCrone gets found out in Ethiopia, Ayres Rock, Far Kurnell or wherever he's going and gets sacked, you'd have to worry that McGregor would probably slot him back into 7 ............ five seconds after arriving back here.

There is no plan B with him.

Chapells right though, we have to give McGregor some credit.

I saw the halftime vision on TV and he was deep in conversation with Tariq making sure he knew when the right time was to strip the ball and outrun two wingers over 40 metres to the try line.

It was a coaching master stroke.

Circles it sure is. I have zero problem giving credit to SuperCoach for the start of our year. With that comes the responsibility to maintain it. That we have won 6/16 is definitely on him. Sure some of the players have faded at times but it's his job to minimise the fade as much as possible and has failed(eg. why could they do it recently vs. Manly & Penrith?)If not, we wouldn't be holding on to a semi final hope tighter than a 40 y/o single woman holds her d*ldo.

Mary is a shit coach but the players they threw those games away with sheer stupidity.
