It's not my bloody attitude, it's the truth. When McGregor makes a good decision i'll give him credit for it. Doesn't mean he's a good coach or that i don't want him sacked.

Oh, and the "f" key is between the D and G.

So what are these so called good decisions he has made? enlighten me please!

What the club needs and what will actually happen maybe so far apart its not funny.

People wanted players brought in and they did change things around but it has been stated they have used up the second tier cap (true i have no idea) so you had to expect no younger ones where going to get a go at this stage ie Dufty.

Just shoving a rookie in with the way some fans carry on and crucify a player ie Hutchison no matter who they put in they would nit pick his game to bits instead of actually understanding a player will make errors.

Mary needs to go thats a given but the way certain people have gone on about it has gone to the obessive state and its not just childish its rather boring reading it.

The club needs a major overhaul but honestly i don't even know how or if it will even happen. They are getting ripped to shreds in the media and not a peep from Doust or anyone except some fluff piece on the Dragons website so they don't seem to fussed by the league worlds response to the clubs positon.

Its obvious to me they are not with the times and are trying to live on its past which imo is all well and good but do they honestly think past players would look at the club and say wow they are doing alright.

Change needs to happen the club is in major debut and will continue to slide and eventually i see the NRL getting the full control of the club or even worse the club merges again or just dies out.

Could not say it better myself. I hate how Doust is so coy and such a poor communicator. The fans are crying out and not a peep all season...just endless dragons membership marketing. I feel insulted. It makes me love league a little less. McGregor just makes me irate.

I want Doust gone.

A fish rots from the head.

I remember thinking when we won the premiership in 2010 that Doust would last another five years and unfortunately he has......with interest. He was totally incapable of running the club successfully back when Brownie was the coach and nothing has changed.


Bennett fell in his lap and this time around there isn't a super coach waiting in the wings to save him. One way or another McGregor is gone, even if he doesn't realise it yet. Doust is the real issue.

Dropping Tim Lafai and blooding Euan Aitken.

Only things I could think of.

Picked Lafai 19 times so doesn't deserve praise for a decision forced upon him and which is far too late to do any real good for this season.

Dropped Aitken to make way for Lafai and the botched attempt of Dugan to RC which ultimately cruel-led Mann for far too long so again doesn't deserve praise for yet another decision forced upon him.

Now if he died on his sword then you would probably praise that but not sure we will get to do that.

These are all logical fallacies.

"McGregor is bad, therefore, by association all his actions and idea's are bad".

Blooding Aitken and Dropping Lafai were the right things to do, period.

McGregor is capable of making good decisions, in case you didn't know.

lol the supercilious git is at it again.

Let's applaud McGregor for finally dropping the woefully underperforming Lafai after persisting with him for three quarters of the season, even though players in far more important positions have been just as bad if not worse for the same period, yet are retained. Kudos to the supercoach

OK lets explain this a in a way that you might comprehend better.

Re Lafai
He should never have been picked in the first place so not to do that was a bad decision.
The resultant dropping of Lafai was not a decision but a forced outcome of a previous appalling decision to pick him.
He didn't decide to drop Lafai he was forced to drop him therein lies the difference.

Re Aitken
He didn't pick him for game 1 this season so again that was an appalling decision.
He picked Dugan at RC and that was also an appalling decision.
He didn't pick Mann at LC game 1, so therefore picked Lafai and dropped Aitken so a plethora of dumb decisions.
He was then again forced to change things back with Dugan so had no option to pick Aitken so it wasn't as if he made a good decision he was forced to do it.

Having no other choices is not therefore making a decision.

Trialling Mann in the halves for instance that would be making a decision.

How £ucking dense are you people?

To claim McGregor is incapable or hasn't made any good decisions is simply asinine and idiotic.

I£ someone makes a bad decision, I call them out on it. I£ someone makes a good decision, I call them out on it too. Same goes for McGregor.

Even the smallest of good decisions deserve praise, regardless o£ who it comes £rom.

Dropping La£ai is a good decision (we all agree on this) regardless o£ events that happened before or a£ter.

There£ore, believe it or not. McGregor made a good decision. This concept isn't hard to grasp.

In your world doing the inevitable after no other option is available is somehow making a good decision and therefore deserves praise.

IMO doing the inevitable for the greater good after a prolonged period of downside and pain only beggars the question of why did it take so long.

There's quite clearly another option McGregor could've taken.

And that would be the wrong decision. McGregor made the right decision.

Oh, and "doing the inevitable for the greater good after a prolonged period of downside and pain" is still a good decision.

It's like talking to a kindergartner.

GW here,

Look, from the outside in it appears that this needs to happen.

Get a creative half to partner Widdop.

Get a hooker, Dont rule out Widdop himself for this.

Get a fullback.

Add some size on the wing.

Recruit a star back rower.

Develop the junirs nursery. you have plenty there.


Norman is a step in the right direction.
