What did he say in the sheds, let's go out and lose the second half?

1.It was a lost cause once 2 of our best went down & we had to rely on Plod for longer minutes?

2. Lack of player rotation means injuries expose the folly of duplicate team sheet behaviour over 6 years ( the Tuesdy arvo collective groan)

3. Selecting Aitken in the bench instead of Field meant playing roulette again with the backline

11 seconds.

That's how long it took Mary to pull out Frizell excuse in his press conference, completely unprompted.

Tyson dropped the ball that probably cost us the game -

because his vision was impaired

not his fault
he probably shouldn’t have been on the field

But that’s right, we play guys with broken arms for 30 mins FFS

Sack Mary now, giving him is golden hand shake and appoint a good top line coach as his replacement. In only this way will SGI retain some of it's promising young guns such as Robson, Lomax, Timm and Kerr.

As witnessed by the players in our successful junior granfinals on the weekend, we have a good crop of players coming through and need a coach who will develop and foster their asperation to play in the NRL team.

Hasler and Bennett were available and not signed., I have no idea who now. Maybe an opportunity will present itself in the near future. Best we get our house in order now in readiness.

We have been playing that same tune now for the last sixxxxxxxxxx bluudy years , but no one in the joint has taken any notice of it . They won’t sack him - ever , never he is ours for life , the trouble is that we are the ‘ lifers ‘ not Mary , can it get any worse ? :flushed:

JD has a release clause if a FG gig is offered to him.
We would never look back.
Having renewed McGregor for yet another 2 years, we aint going to get any outside the square thinking from Puppet Johnson and the mouldy board.

Best of luck signing any decent players. No decent player would want to come here, all we could get is the dregs.
Next 3 seasons are going to be crap
Sack him now and get someone who has the ability to get our team firing

Yeah we have trouble just getting him to select the best 17 available on talent & form -

- let alone having them coached to their potential individually & as a team

-to perform strategically under a variety of game plans & evolving match situations.

FMD I would’ve lost Waterboy after the first 4 words

So we get yet another bench designed to fail again this week WTF?


.....it’s a dimly lit world of pain out there for him in coachland


Have you still got Jason’s mobile number Brian?

Possum do you think that the dragons management will go after JD as a possible replacement in the near future ?

INJURY UPDATE

With the whole of the first grade team injured, the Dragons board are rejoicing and feel vinidicated that they had signed every player over the past 25 years to jobs within the club.

The clubs says it can now field a team of ex players to play the Warriors this weekend.

Craig Young will captain the run on side. More to follow...

Good one again OKB - that’s deadly humour exposing the folly
They’re obviously lengthening the trough & widening the sty at The Taj

Lats & Jake for cameos off the bench though?
Lats for his threatening air swings & TB’s according to Kenty & Paul

Actually I always liked the way Craig Young used to crash through the oppositions defence , he is my 2 nd all time favorite player of the modern era - behind Gareth of course .

Well we won’t be firing with another bench with a builtin dropoff in intensity -

No impact with Plod @14
Or Aitken @15

Baby steps in rotation though with a forced addition of Jai

& Josh brought in from the cold @ 21 FMD
LOL

SO Aitken gets ragdolled as a forward or turnstiled as a back!


His presence adding around 15-20% fatigue factor to most of our forwards IMO

When will Waterboy sever the Lovechild umbilical?

Spot on , Broncos drop Roberts the jet , Isaako after 7 games. Our bloke has taken 5 and a bit years to move our center to the bench or drop anyone for not performing .......

Hi all

Long time fan of the forum but first time poster.

Quite simply, the re-signing of Mary for a further two years is an act of betrayal of epic proportions. If the board had any soul, any moral fibre, any professional instinct, any care for on field performances, any of these things, it would, it should, collectively hang its head in shame.

Of even greater concern to me are those fans who prop up the board, even by default, in financially supporting this club through memberships. This is, effectively, a bigger act of betrayal. Yes, betrayal. You can forget effecting changes at board elections,, we only have our financial support as a weapon to strike down the boys club and effect change.

Thank you

Last year we had a good run with injuries, this year complete opposite.
We are in a world of pain trying to replace Norman or McIdiots running the bench.
I also blame our second grade coach, his sole role in life is to get players ready to transition to first grade.
Look at other clubs who given 19 year old juniors a spot in first grade and are ready for out.
Having Allbad and Lats in our seconds is a waste of two positions that should be filled by promising youngsters,
We need a total clean out of our compacting squad, it won’t happen so the next three years is like Groundhog Day.

I'd say, give Bennett two sessions with the back 3 and our middle forwards and you will see a big difference in their defensive skills.

Bennett showed our squad of 2009 - 2011 how to defend and installed our brick wall attitude. He mapped out the real-estate on the field that each player is responsible for and devised a plan that grouped players in support of each other.

Bennett truly implemented the 'work for each other' ethics.
