premierships - nil
finals wins - nil

minor premierships - 1

creeping needs to address the first two areas.

It was abundantly clear after 3 months that he'd made great inroads into the entire culture of the club.

Lets hope +1 for all those this season then

true.

but most importantly, we've been screaming out for an ugly coach for ages.

we really haven't had this caliber of ugly for 30 years. harry is no longer alone. although thirsty tried.

Double true.

But I think you're being unkind to Harry.

Not since Killer have we have a coach as ugly as Creeping.

That's a pretty good record, 10 losses and we lost 6 from 7 at the end of last year.

i wouldnt say roy was a dreamboat

Anyone keen on bringing Brown back?

 

[BigNormProvan]

He'd do himself no harm working under the man for a season or two. Any coach would.

I have no doubts Brown will be a great coach. He was thrown in the deep end with us and just about drowned. He's gone on to do great things in the UK and I'd love to see him become a successful coach for a club he loves.

In saying that, Steve Price will be our next coach.

I'm interested.

Interesting to note that his kids are enrolled in school in the shire next year, wouldnt be surprised if he took on an assistant role in 2011 at the club

I think it is what he should have done at the time, but it would have been a strange thing to adapt to. It's like your boss at work being demoted... and who would listen to him after that happened? He could learn a lot from Benny and would be a perfect replacement when Benny wants to retire.

Bellyache would vouch for that. I always wondered why the chess pieces let him go.

 

[Ulysseus]

I'd like to see a more seasoned Brownie return...................... one day.
In light of recent events though, f**k he was unlucky not to jag a title in 2006.

NO NO NO NO NO, I want Bennett to stay at the Dragons for as long as possible, then i was him to be replaced by an older grey-haired Nathan Brown...

 

[Spartan - Dragon]

It's interesting note to Bellamy was an understudy for Bennett all those years...maybe it was a good idea to keep him in the Dragons coaching ranks and groom him as next coach?

bennett has failed to deliver a premiership.

sack bennett!

oust doust!

 

[full steam ahead]

Bennett has rectified 3 major probs we have had generally for 25 years IMO. 1: Poor/slow starts to games. 2oor/slow starts to seasons. and 3:Undisciplned play. Why we have developed a poor record in semi finals I don't know as this used to be a strength of the Dragons. If we made the finals more often than not we made a bit of noise while we were there. Hopefully this year will be different.
