McGregors lack of coaching ability and skills aside there seems to be something rotten in our camp at present......allowing for the fact our skipper is missing and arguably our best forward Im not convinced thats all the reasons....to lose our last 6 out of 8 games after being the front runners up untill round 17 and to be flogged 40 to 4 by the wooden spooners in round 22 and today losing 38 nil to the Dogs at home.......besides doing it for Thommo and Nightie we had everything again to play for but yet again we were miserable to say the least....whilst not wanting to single out players its obvious Hunt has completely lost it....I know some will say your halves can only operate effectively when your forwards are moving forward and I agree but for mine he looks totally unhappy and uninterested......I just cant agree that we are just tired and burnt out...today some players looked defeated and unenthusiastic for most of the match.....as I say theres a deep seated problem in our ranks at present that we arnt privvy to

Appears there is a problem between the Illawarra and Dragons sides.
Don't know if players or management as yet.

Have to agree with bloodshot. Hunt wont run or take on the line only Mann showed the spark. Is it injuries to Hunt and others or what the hell. Someone knows but no leaks coming out. I was think the flu but that was 2 months ago so belly aches maybe. No something serious in the group.

I have to agree with the above.
For a team which was so consistent, injuries aside, they seem they just can't be bothered.
Unless individuals were directly involved with the play, defensive or attach, they were CLEARLY, disinterested.

Paul - this is your roster - Please explain - IN DETAIL

There is a smell of Eddie Obeid and his cronies that this guy still has a job. Like Madge won a comp and they got rid of him

Sir Wayne has won 7 and they want to get rid of him.

I am totally confused what he has to do to get the sack.

I would not be surprised to hear Hunt has destabilised the whole side.
The players were looking at him, the $6 million dollar man, and he has gone missing.

He has been useless and disinterested for weeks and shows no signs of wanting to play.

He will blame it all on the pressure from Dragons fans, you want to avoid criticism, play better.

Whoever was at the game today, like I was, would have noticed Jack De Belin with hands on hips staring at the grass back up-field regularly when the Dragons were trying to get out of their own end. For reasons whatever - this bloke just is not right at the moment. He's not the only reason we were annihilated and embarrassed today but it represents what an absolute abyss this team is in right now.

Maybe he does not like the idea of Bennett arriving in 2019. I can understand that and if that is the case, management should let him go and find another halfback. His defence has been poor since day one of his arrival. Now he's not running to the line and his kicks are ordinary.

I’ve said before and I’ll say again. The team is diliberately tanking it.
The fix is in, they are either betting on other teams to win or themselves to lose.
45 years I’ve supported my beloved Saints, never have I seen a team dilberately throw the game away.
Like the current Dragons team.
Mary has lost the shed, needs to be sacked immediately.

Maybe shades of Hayne when he was paid mega bucks at The Titans ..wasnt it reported that it had a destabilizing affect on their setup.....not saying it could be the case here but something not right......then again he went ok early on for us.....you can still go hard and run to the line and then make mistakes but hes not doing that at all now....at times to me he doesnt wantt to get his hands on the ball....tbh Im at a loss with him lately

Yep, I said before, he charged the Dogs kicker and was not back onside before the Dragons had got to their forth tackle.
He's busted, or disinterested like the rest.

Yes Jack doesnt seem himself and hasn't for awhile.....thats what astounds me about McGregor if DeBelin is carrying injuries or is buggered 1 why hasnt he been rested and 2 theres been games when a bench player could have been used at times in a game but have sat on their arses for most of the match and hes stayed on.....bloody clueless

Im not sure about the tanking bit after following our boys for 60 years I could never see them stooping that low but when in round 22 we get flogged by the wooden spooners 40 to 4 and in round 24 38 to 0 by The Dogs at home thats 78 to 4 thats totally unacceptable in anyones language......theres something very rotten going on somewhere
