The I was wrong thread

[mickeylane]

I’m a devoted Kerr detractor but his pace chasing down Garrick reminded me of Scott Gourley - in fact he could turn out to be a Scott Gourley type of rangy 2nd rower. His pace is very deceiving!

I'll throw my hand up re: Lawrie, albeit it is one game. Had a gooden today, some impact.

 

[Dragsters]

Again, it just highlights the positive impact, particularly on younger players, of a proper coach.

Their McStunted growth is now beginning to flourish...

Yes
But our spectacularly failed Board were complicit in damaging a whole generation of players who’d entrusted their careers in a buffoon

Absolutely, the board are almost totally to blame.

In the same way McFail was to blame for continuing to select Aitken in spite of his poor defensive skills and inability to pass to his winger...

 

[Coffs dragon]

My main concern has always centred around the previous useless peanut coach & the poor selection & utilisation of the bench. Both fixed by Hook in one swoop!!
3 out of the 4 Bench forwards are making impact, look fit & are keeping on the move forward with power.
Williame seems like insurance for Jack Bird at this stage only.

 

[TruSaint]

Rava has been awesome..

He had suspicious hands earlier on, but damn he’s not only fixed those but is an axe in defence too.

Should be the first winger picked every week.

He again was very good last night. Fixed those errors, work rate high.

The team is building nicely.

Give it time .

Wait until we sign Fifita first.

I was wrong to be happy when we sacked Price and then signed his replacement.

Give it another fortnight.

Mate he is a kid when it comes to developing a forward. Sixty games experience. A couple of years, if he keeps a level head, he could be anything

 

[SaintPeter]

Massive credit to Griffin.
Last year, thanks to Mr No Fn Idea we had possibly the worst back-line in the comp.
Now, completely transformed. Excitement everywhere!
Last year thanks to Mr No Fn Idea we had THE worst bench rotation in the comp.
Now, all our forwards have their heads up and playing great.

 

[Willow]

I have a simple policy of trying not to bag out on players who wear the Red V. And when necessary, try to defend players against the online vitriol.

Coaches and the Club board, on the other hand, should be under heavy scrutiny.

 

[Gareth67]

Well forgive me if I come across as a bit of a know-all , however I was hoping that we would sign McCullough for the very reasons which is now so evident in his play - his ball distribution , being able to select the correct player to receive the pill , not just any teammate standing close to him .

As to Ravawala , well that bloke had me worried whenever he had the ball coming his way , a true Mr. 50 per center - would he catch it , or would he drop the bluudy thing . But my , how he has improved last season with both his handling and his defense ( apparently this can be attributed to the assistant coach at the time Shane Flanagan.)

His ability to be able to bulldoze his way to the try line with a couple of defenders attempting to push him into touch is absolutely amazing . So now I will fearlessly predict 2 more things to happen with Ravawala - 1 the man will certainly be selected for his the Fijian national team and also that he is only going to get better and 2 , that he shall become one of the NRL’s most feared tacklers .

The skills of these two players will help the overall chances the Dragons of winning more games this season than not .

Goes to show what a half decent can do, McIdiot had the same bash and barge game plan, even Norman is looking like world beater, it's early days, but listening to Hook speak in the pressers and his past coaching record, the dragons are on the rise again, f you to those that reckoned we were wooden spooners, more like semi final contenders.

The thing i fear with Norman is he has a good year and the club offers him a new 500k contract and he takes it. This blocks Sullivan's ambitions , he goes to another club and becomes a superstar.

 

[epDragon62]

Fair enough, I expect Gitano in here soon praising Lomax...and a whole host of people with Dufty but we shall see.

Yeah, nah... won't happen.

I don't want to personally attack Mary but I cannot hold back from he was an incompetent f**k that all of us could see, yet the club extended him more than once.

I feel like the Dragons are on a new trajectory and I like it. Hook is an astute decision and I think our whole set up is showing what is possible.

If Hook brings Fafita in it will be after satsifying himself that it is the right thing, I'm in for it too.
