The club is toxic. We have Doust, a lame board and a "jobs for the boys" coaching group.
I refuse to blame the players. it is poor coaching, incompetent recruitment and retention and a self-centred CEO and board who must take the blame for our team's demise. Our players are the meat in the sandwich. On the whole, I believe they are putting in the effort, but it is quite obvious there is no leadership or vision from their coach. The players follow a game plan from their coach but the game plan is obviously flawed. For two seasons our attack has been poor, however it has got even worse this year.
Dragonscales, you suggested we give Jason Demetriou a go as head coach. Are you aware he was brought down from North Queensland as our new OFFENSE coach? He's done a great job, hasn't he?
No, what we need is a professional coach with professional assistants. This coach needs to have full control over hiring and firing of players. None of this, Recruitment and Retention group, crap. How often have we heard McGregor say, when asked about recruitment, that's something you need to talk to our Recruitment and Retention group about? This would indicate the coach is not involved. How bloody ridiculous!
I've followed the Dragons since 1965. I've seen many good times and just as many bad times, but this is, by far, the worst period in our club's history. And it will only be remedied by a complete clean out, not of players, but of coaching staff, CEO and board members. And of course, the governance needs to be approved. My fear is that will not happen until this CEO and the current board are removed. They know that once WIN take part control they will get their arses kicked out.
Lets hope the NRL take heed of the petition and act accordingly.
