Plus on the channel 9 coverage the commentator said two of the Dragons better forwards have signed with the Bulldogs for 2025.
Yep something is definitely going on with this team and the poaching of players over the last few years. Overall the Dragons NRLW is in a poor state of affairs, a loss tonight to a team that hasnt won all season says it all.

Think I read in the latest member's email from Webb that the NRLW team will be undergoing some sort of review, including the appointment of a new coach.
As you said Justa, the women's team is in a very average state right now.
The good news is the ladies NSW Origin under 19s team had something like 8 players from the Illawarra in it.
Indie Bostock will be elevated to the NRLW team, along with a few others in 2025.
We really need to start hanging onto this new crop of players, especially with the game expanding by another 2 teams next year.

Something is up DD, we should be way better than what we are, only time will tell if this review does any good, or a new coach.

Overall the situation of the women's rather poor season is a reflection of something pervading the whole of St George Illawarra. Player disharmony can be all pervading as typified by Lomax wanting out, Hunt wanted out and probably wants to again, a couple of the women going to the Dogs, etc.

What gives?

Hunt made a point last year that he wanted out and one of the reasons was that he was told that the Dragons were going to recruit some better players to make the team a bit more successful with results. Our results were better but maybe he expected much better.

The real reason why Lomax wanted out has still not been divulged and may never be.

Lawrie's form this year has dipped sharply from what it was last year. Is this a co-incidence of him either being injured still or that this all pervading thing has got to him, especially with his best mate going to the Eels?

I honestly feel that the last 3 games which we lost was due to a lot of disharmony, besides other reasons of form loss.

The club needs the injection of a good speaker of some high standing to bring the whole league of the men and women players in the St George Illawarra Club into more unity and harmony. It feels like the whole place is disunited.
