Honestly, one minute you all want Mcgregor gone, next minute you are praising him for making changes, and saying, "well that's a step in the right direction" FMD, the only direction is the one that doesn't involve Mcgregor, do you really want the Dragons to win, and give the club an excuse to re sign him? He has proved he cant coach, the only time he has made changes this season, is because injuries have forced him too, he has had plenty of opportunities to give the juniors a run, but has opted for the mcrones and quinlans of the world, who offer nothing but, making players like dufty and Hutchinson feel unwanted, Mcgregor has done enough damage, no point him damaging our juniors with his crap coaching methods, let the juniors enter FG next year on a high, with a new coach, so here's what I want,
To keep getting flogged for the rest of the year, keep our talented juniors away from Mcgregor, and the toxic environment he has created, have a new coach come in, and give our juniors the opportunity they deserve, before we lose them, and this UNFORTUNATELY doesn't involve winning any more games this season, SHORT TERM PAIN, LONG TERM GAIN. # £uck off Mcgregor.

Straight shooter.

Honestly, I haven't read anyone praising McGregor except that goose Hail Mary who is probably his wife or drinking buddy. There has been an outpouring of relief that Milne gets another crack at first grade and that's pretty much it.

With respect to McGregor damaging our juniors , how much damage can he do in the time left? It took him 18 rounds to get the team playing substantially worse than at the start of the season. Given there are only seven rounds left he will struggle to impart any of his knowledge and wisdom, and the juniors will have a long off season to forget anything he has told them.

Personally I don't think there is much risk that we won't get flogged in the remaining games so I don't know why you're worried. We may scrape past the inconsistent tigers by two points but that's about it. The rest of the games are against premiership heavyweights or teams looking to save some face. They will all be looking to crush us.

People on the forum have been crying out for change both roster and coach-wise, and now one of them has come to fruition (although modestly), should bring some hope to us. This hope doesn't reflect condoning McGregor's coaching, but the fact the model that has been proven ineffective is beginning to shift.

We call for change, but based on the response from the published team list, we're resistant to said change. I don't believe any dragons fan wants to sit by and watch McGregor at the helm, but at least there is some force within the club pushing him in a somewhat right direction.

I for one am not ruling Quinlan out before watching this upcoming game, and am excited at the prospect of Milne being given a second chance.

Agree. As I said inthe team list thread at least I am a bit more interested to see how the changes go.

Change to the team list is merely shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic. And dumping a winger and a centre is worse than that, it's adding window dressing to a porthole on the Titanic!

The coach needs to walk the plank (of the Titanic), and the people responsible for installing that coach need to follow

I want:
  • A Survey Monkey for McGrexit
  • McGrexit banners for our home game at ANZ on Sunday
  • More McGrexit banners for our away game at ANZ the following week
  • #mcgrexit to start trending on Twitter
  • An actual McGrexit to occur
  • Our much maligned dummy-half to be given an opportunity under a proper coach

Even a broke clock is right twice a day.

Just because he's a shit coach doesn't mean he can't/doesn't make some good decisions, and for those good decisions, he deserves praise for those decisions.

In all honesty we need a real good clean out from Doust down through the ranks.
This will not happen of course, and for starters I will be happy to see the NRL coach, his assistants, ALL gone sooner rather than later.Then the rebuild can start.

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.

We need a benefactor - love or hate Crowe he recreated Souths - a new owner would wipe out all the old cronies who have ruined our great club, they are just like the corrupt Roman Empire

Won't happen. Doust and co are very good at flying stealth under the radar. We need a parramatta type saga for major changes to occur.

FFL was not dropped. He is out till Rd 23 with a cheek injury. Widdop should have been dropped as he needs it to realise how bad he is going. Playing the way he is no coach would select him in FG apart from Mary. I know he is captain but hey he is not the only captain to be dropped for poor form.

Even if Saints win a few games under Mary and sneak into the 8, they should still look at getting rid of him or at least demoting him to Cutters and giving Demitriou a run if they are broke. By demoting him he will resign. Too easy.

Quinlan is really a strange choice ahead of Mann. I would have given Mann another go or brought in Dufty. How many more chances are they giving Quinlan and lets face it he is not a long term prospect. That ship failed. Dufty and Mann are the only real long term prospects ahead of Duges.

There are a lot of things that need to change before we are a threat again . Some people on here are happy when we win a game here and there ( me included ) and everything is ok again , bottom line is we cant win a premiership with the coaching staff we have , the players we have , the board and CEO . There has been no improvement for the last 6 years , we are going backwards with our footy team . So we have wasted time no building of the team or improvement has happened .If I could see that we had improved and the whole club was gaining momentum I would be ok . Need to start somewhere and if that is getting rid of Mary , promoting our juniors , replacing our captain then be it . If we dont remove our selves from the time warp the club is in now , I dont see this once Mighty Feared Club surviving ......

The back of Doust and Mary and all the boys with their snouts in the trough.
A playing roster that wants to be part of our history rather than just an employee.
A team that plays attractive and competitive football.
Kids growing up following the Dragons and wearing the Big Red V.
Long time supporters being happy again.
Full crowds at Kogarah and Wollongong all cheering.
Vas, Ruby and Steve Timpson to come back to the fold just so we can put shit on each other again.

I am extremely disappointed with your attitude, you should think before you speak.

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.
