Dragons actually got 12 wins in 2022 better than this year with negative 100 versus 11 wins this year an a negative 126, so Hooks last full year was better
Our players, starting with our halves, are just rubbish. Some coaches are a bit better than others but it’s much of a muchness when you have a 17 who can’t get a job done. None of our coaches since Bennett have been successful at recruitment. Get set for the likes of Eels and Tigers to have their way with us next year. We purely can’t field a decent team by professional standards.Dragons actually got 12 wins in 2022 better than this year with negative 100 versus 11 wins this year an a negative 126, so Hooks last full year was better
Haha, good one Old Time. Hook had guys like McInness, Sims, etc that were not good enough and DID make finals a couple of years before under Mary if not for De Belin to ruin the momentum Mary started to create. Hook replaced them with guys like McCullough, Maguire, Woods, Burgess, etc. Hook wanted to keep Corey Norman as he rated him highly if not for the board to knock him back. Hook was by far the worst and had a better roster than Mary inherited and turned it into absolute rubbish brining in his Qld buddies.FFS Hook got a worse squad to 10 wins and closer to the 8 in 2022 so the 2024 result isn’t that great if the truth be told.
I think people mistakenly think we almost made the 8 the reality is we didn’t win the games we should have won and actually won a couple that were totally unexpected.
It's an old newspaper term which used to let readers know who the owners, editors and writers were. Why on earth it is used in sporting articles written mostly by uneducated gibbering idiots (oops I meant sports journalists) is a mystery to me.I just want to know where this word Masthead came from to label reporters?
FFS, if Flanno gets us to a GF you will still find something to bag him about. Every coach coming in has a grace period where he needs to build the type of team he thinks can achieve success. There are a few of you in here who have been bagging Flanno since before a ball was kicked. I find this extremely unfair. No one should be judged on an outcome that hasn't happened yet. Wait until he fails, then bag him. You are bagging the result before you even know what it is. The 1st season was an improvement on 2023 in a most aspects, now let's see what happens in 2025.FFS Hook got a worse squad to 10 wins and closer to the 8 in 2022 so the 2024 result isn’t that great if the truth be told.

Not winning the ones you should win tells you more than winning ones that are unexpected especially when you have a soft draw.
At the tail end of the season instead of peeking we floundered and got found out for the team we really are 5 hit up’s and a midfield bomb which was easily countered.
When I see "this masthead", I just replace it with "this d*ckhead."I just want to know where this word Masthead came from to label reporters?
FFS I’m not defending Hook nor am I denying his love affair with has beens.Haha, good one Old Time.

I cannot understand how anyone can defend Hook as a coach.
Hunt to be swapped for Staggs! Media frenzy!A little birdie told me that Kotoni Staggs was spotted in Wollongong over the weekend , could be coincidence but interesting none the less
Maybe if Holmes went back to f/back.. seems an unlikely purchase, but a small upgrade over Douehi.A little birdie told me that Kotoni Staggs was spotted in Wollongong over the weekend , could be coincidence but interesting none the less
Hope you’re not saying Hook should have been retained the team backwards which is where the 5 hit-up’s & bomb started.FFS Hook got a worse squad to 10 wins and closer to the 8 in 2022 so the 2024 result isn’t that great if the truth be told.

Two other words that have popped up this year ad nauseumIt's an old newspaper term which used to let readers know who the owners, editors and writers were.

Holmes to Fullback & Staggs to centre?A little birdie told me that Kotoni Staggs was spotted in Wollongong over the weekend , could be coincidence but interesting none the less
1. I don't know what our salary cap situation is but my guess this could only happen if Hunt went in a swap.Holmes to Fullback & Staggs to centre?
Ryles lives in Wollongong , who knows , just a stir as don’t think there’s a chance Staggs will move from Brisbane, many have tried in reality.A little birdie told me that Kotoni Staggs was spotted in Wollongong over the weekend , could be coincidence but interesting none the less
No not saying Hook was good bad or otherwise just a point of reference re results.Hope you’re not saying Hook should have been retained the team backwards which is where the 5 hit-up’s & bomb started.
Players weren’t allowed to play their natural game. Think Sullivan being benched then dropped for kicking early in the tackle count against the broncos.
At least now there are green shoots coming through with some of our juniors, Liddle finally given serious game time & weeding out deadwood or those not up to it.
