I disagree that not making the 8 is a failureYep, completely agree with all that.
Unless there are mitigating circumstances, we should make the 8 this year, less than that is I failure.
I’m optimistic, today I was talking to a Roosters supporter and expressed why I think Dragons will play finals next season, he was deadset laughing out loud at me. We have little respect at the moment, that’s about to change.
It will be disappointing but until our front row and go forward has improved I can not see us making the 8, similar to last year finish 10-11th
We have improved in the backs but halves combo will take a few weeks of NRL real games to click
What I do expect is better defence closer games etc and to be in the mix
We over achieved in some respect last year and things were masked by not that many injuries to major players compared to other clubs and some surprise teams that fell off a cliff like Wahs Broncos and Souths with superior squads
We won’t get that again to the same magnitude next year?
2026 it will be a non negotiable as I expect a slightly better squad again.
