I wouldn’t even call it structured, Jeff. It’s just one out, one out, one out. It’s been going on since Bennett left. We can’t get out of our own half. Even when we do get up the other end, it’s throw it to a forward for another one out hit up. It does my head. Get the ball out ffs.

I thought that when Ramien was sent to the bin our players would play every move to have an extra man overlap but I don't think they thought like that and they just took it up the middle - where in hell is there an overlap in that for Cripes sake. Play the overlap boys I kept saying but no - up the middle they go and no tries scored while Ramien not there. One scored from the penalty I know to make it 18-6 but I was hoping for more tries before halftime. Terrible attack.

Ive been following the Dragons for over 65 yrs now and up until about 5 yrs ago, loved watching them. But since then watching them has become harder and harder each year. Just watching the same shit performances year in year out and remembering how we used to play. Remembering how we used to be a force and feared, and now were a sad joke. No matter who coaches us, the same rubbish just prevails. This is the first year ever where ive turned games off- last week and tonight- because im just sick and tired of watching this rubbish. I have a Kogarah season pass but i dont look forward to going anymore, because now its a dread. Dreading how were going to play and just being an embarrassment. I dont tell anyone im a Dragons supporter anymore because it just generates laughs now. Its just the constant losses like Anzac Day which i witnessed now 2 yrs in a row. And i read all the same sort of stuff from guys on here feeling like i do.
I see what the Bulldogs and Cronulla have done and then i look at us and just see nothing. Ive backed Flanno up till now, but to me hes lost it too. His son couldn’t kick to save his life and everyone knows it except for him apparently. This loss tonight has really killed me because we had every reason to win and watching Sloan knock Gutho over just did it for me. This is amateur stuff and it now permeates our whole club. I might just stick to watching A grade- at least i enjoy it and they dont make amateur mistakes

Last week flogged by 50 to a Dolphins team that's not doing much this year "No worries.We have the early turn around" says the coach.
24 unanswered points later and not a sniff of fortitude and we are left to sit with this for two weeks and he still has the nerve to praise Kyle in the presser.

We are stuck with another dud who can't sign decent players. What else really matters?

I’m tired of watching teams run harder and faster than us every week.
I’m tired of watching teams march downfield at will every week
I’m tired of watching my team play most of the game in its own half every week.
I’m tired of watching every clearing kick find the opposition fullback on the full every week.
I’m tired of watching our defence stand on its heels and let the opposition run wherever it wants each week.
I’m tired of just watching Groundhog Day every week.
Oh well, I guess I can spend a few weeks of 2026 feeling optimistic before the post Bennett sh%t show continues.

Have a watch of the presser if you want to see a clown pretend to take accountability and then just make excuses:

- Ref Decisions - ie the short kick off (which he called a drop out) broke the plane. The game was gone and we wasted our challenge a few minutes before.

- Injuries - we're missing Matt Feagai, Corey Allan, Cristian Tuipulotou. He'd only be picking one of those three if they were all fit.

- Called out Sloan for dropping a kick that lead to a try, then refers to Lawson's one as well but doesn't go as far as naming Lawson. When quizzed further about Sloan says lacking confidence and needs to find some.

Such rubbish, who can continue to support this clown?

I have always seen potential in Sloan and think he is a decent young man. Time to kick the hopium on this one sadly.

Suli, one dimensional in attack and can't seem to pass a ball laterally, killed a try with that tonight. A weak link in defence when confronted with speed or agility.

Kyle, another decent person by the looks of him and tries hard. Simply not up to it at 6 or 7, not a first grader and I don't see much potential there.

Quality players may come to us for the $$ during their transition to retirement but there are no premiership hopes here in the next 3 years so quality will not come in their prime.


Our problems have been since 2010 and are sourced in the management of the club. The playing talent is just the symptom.

Our future looks bleak with the dinosaurs running the club. This will not change.

I hope I am wrong.

Hoping you’re wrong, but I’m with you. Need a serious management shake-up at the top. The young guns coming through bleed Red and White, are true footballers and the shining light of the club. We must foster them with sharp management, savvy coaching, and bold leadership to wake this sleeping giant and keep the ones that matter

A shocking press conference.
Getting used to around this time - 1 and half years in of failure - our coach, whoever they are, really doubles down and starts blaming other things to deflect from himself.

"Tries from kicks" why is that even a thing?
Newsflash, kicking is a great way to get a try and your son can't do anything but pot them up to the fullback. You picked Sloan and were not happy he dropped the ball??

The presser is one way the fans can try and get some hope and this was nothing but an excuse-athon that I can't even begin to agree with.
