Trent Merrin offered record deal by St George Illawarra as Dragons await decision on

[grouch]

Mary is one of the fkn acorns. A huge one

 

[Get2dachopper!]

The fans are upset when players like moz and mez leave. Then downright angry when the departing players are replaced with nuffies. That's the whole point. If an accountant did a ledger of incoming/outgoing talent at the club over the last 5 years, it would probably not balance out at all.

Sounds like you've given yourself and exercise.

Replacing Gaz, Soward, Coops, Deano, Smith, Boyd, Scott, BMoz, Hornby, Weyman, Saffy and Fein would be a hard ask.

You have to factor in a premiership in that period and the added value to the team that comes from winning one.

I don't think that anyone will argue that Price was a mistake. I was certainly perplexed at the decision but that's history and the jury has to out on Mary based on empirical evidence.

The lineup for 2015 wouldn't beat our 2010 team in a month of Sundays but IMO it has the capability of returning the Dragons to the top half of the ladder and that's my bench mark for the time being. I'd also expect improvement in the player roster via better performance from current players or acquisition of new recruits.

IMO Doust earned credits in 2010. They have been eroded since but 2015 is a new year and IMO we're looking okay.

Others can back themselves to be better judges that me or the coach or the board. I'll wait to see before I condemn anybody.

We're looking okay. It's just a flesh wound

At least we have a coach who has a pair now. I like what Mary is doing. If softcocks don't like him speaking harshly to them....we are better off without them. We have been saying for so long about how soft our forwards are, how we are lacking mongrel....and now one of our forwards has a sook because he doesn't like the coach. F*ck him....

 

[jenninga]

Chicken Little thought the sky was falling when 1 acorn fell on it's head. That analogy doesn't really work.

The correct anaology is this: the fans are being pissed on but Doust and his apologists are telling us it's raining.

Don't think there are too many Doust apologists,plenty of people who are as pissed off as you are,me included,but unless you have a quick effective way of pissing this board off,we just see how the pricks can turn our club around from the mess they put us in.

Apparently this is the mob putting up the TPA that could possibly lead to the Roosters stealing our Trent......

Real men don't eat quiche.
I am, however, partial to some egg pie.

:lol::lol: The funniest fantasy of all. I guess noted softcock Dan Hunt chose to stay because he likes the tough talk from the Straight Shooter (TM), not because no other club is remotely interested in him

I daresay Dan Hunt had 400,000 legitimate reasons to stay at Dragons.

So are you now saying that Merrin doesn't have a problem with Mary?

 

[grouch]

Merrin probably does have an issue with him. The problem is that this is perceived as a good thing. He's our best forward. we need a coach who will get the best out of our players - especially the absolute best ones ffs. If Mary can't do that without alienating our best then he clearly lacks the ability to man manage and is, as expected, horribly out of his depth.

 

[CronullaSaint]

Maybe they were all spoilt under the previous coach who told them they were good when they were shit and find it hrd to take when they are told the truth

Merrin is not and has never been our best forward.
Creagh was by far our best forward in 2014, daylight second, Cooper third.

 

[Cagey Mac]

:sarcasm:Yes but Daylight went missing in all those night games that we played

 

[Weipa Dragon]

Had a dream merrin signed for us last night and made fun of everyone who
Put the boot in. He had a big laugh in the dream. Hope the Scarlett j dreams come back.

 

[FlameThrower]

Judas in the ranks let him go...

Or in other words....you agree he is being a sook. You obviously have no problem with a player or players trying to run the place then. Mary is boss, if any softcock wants to have a cry because Mary spoke mean to them, I would rather they move on.

Note to Sally....if you are planning on having kids later, you are going to need a guy who has testicles.

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

600k is a very good offer for Merrin, he is not elite gets dominated at Origin level.

I think 600k is more than just a very good offer Minh...if he wants more let him go.....I would be happy if we could find 3 more pommie forwards in the Cooper mould at 200k a pop

Agree 100%.

It's all just speculation & any comments are people talking out of their ass. We don't know what negotiations are going down nor will we.
