I understand that my following comment will bring a tirade of abuse from my fellow Dragon supporters on this forum; and let me be clear...I love the Dragons....BUT I want us flogged on Friday night and then flogged the following week, and then the week after that so the Board of Directors will be forced to sack Price. Serving up Nathan Fien as the half -back again this week is depressing. I am even having trouble watching this kid Price lead our great club. This is not a bloody work experience placement. Now I will retreat under the table and wait for the bombs to land around me!
I know how you feel. I went through the same thing during the dark days of Browny's tenure at the club. On one hand you want to see the Dragons do well, but if failure is the only way to get the board to make a change, you're not upset to see them lose.
Personally, I don't know what to make of Pricey though.
It can't be easy stepping into Bennett's successful shoes, but with the team he commands, it's hard to understand why the Dragons aren't performing better.
That being said, I'm willing to sit back and see how Pricey handles himself and the club for the rest of the year. It's gonna take time to mould the team into his way of thinking/playing, and if the team shows signs of promise halfway/three-quarters of the way through the season, I wont be overly disappointed. Most critics are tipping us to finish in the bottom quarter of the comp, and if we can avoid that I wont be pissed.
