I don't know how it fiished but at one stage the rorters had ran over 1600 and our blokes has meandered across 600

Boys against men

All good Sheens has a group of 17 year old stars that will be right to go in about 6 years

Meh... they probably would've played better last night than our FG side...

I think Naden should play Centre for the remaining games in 2022.

Partner him with AJ in the Centres.

Kelma should not play NRL for WT again. Give some young kid a go who is here in 2023.

Happy for Garner to play out the season in the top grade. Still can't believe we let him go. Think he has something to offer. Hope he goes well at the Panthers in 2023.

WT need mongrel and Klemmer and Lodge should be looked at big time. Tamou please retire.

Garner has never given up on us just because he's going to another club, Thanks Luke for all your hard efforts, and I for one am very sorry that you have chosen to leave the WT';s

It's good to hear something positive.

I hope you are right. How much is AD worth though. You could basically play another centre in that position and you'd get pretty close to the same output.

Brooks is clearly better than AD and walks into our top team but he isn't worth top dollar.

Would we be a better team with a quality 6 and Hastings at 7.

Here we go again,
we should have enough money to be able to let 7 or 8 move to other clubs, and buy at least 5 or 6 top liners, why are we now saying, things like we will keep brooks, but only if we can retain him for $500.000, He has really done nothing in the 9 years he has been at the club, do you really think paying him half price will make him play any better.

LET'S TAKE NOTICE OF WHAT THE DOGS ARE DOING, THEY ARE GETTING RID OF ALL THE RUBBISH, AND BUYING PLAYERS THAT ARE GO GETTEM PLAYERS, AND WHEN THEY HAVE FINISHED WITH GETTING ALL THE NEW ONES, TO JOIN TOGETHER WITH THE ONES THEY GOT THIS YEAR FOR NEXT YEAR THEY WILL FINISH
WITH A TOP 8 TEAM.

IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE SETTLING FOR THE SAME TYPES OF PLAYERS WE ALREADY HAVE.
AND UNLESS WE PURCHASE SOME MORE TOP NAMES.

THEN WE ARE HEADING FOR THE SAME PLACE WE HAVE JUST REACHED.

Might be unpopular and i certainly feel conflicted typing this but is Woods an upgrade on the muppets we had ambling around in the front row yesterday?

It's not fantasy footy mate. You can't just let 7 or 8 go and get 5 or 6 top liners. No club does this. Not the Dogs and definitely not Melbourne or Penrith.

why are we now saying, things like we will keep brooks, but only if we can retain him for $500.000, He has really done nothing in the 9 years he has been at the club, do you really think paying him half price will make him play any better.

He can fill a role for a short time period and we can get better players around him plus we can use that money to get top liners or hold onto juniors who are top liners.

I wish we could do what you suggest. I wish it was that easy. We've signed 2 top liners for next year but there are no more on the market and getting them is hard.

Dogs got Gus, we got Sheens. Gus makes things happen....

 

[weststigerman]

Why does our edge and centre/wing defence always slide backwards when defending? We just give up so much ground on sets. Is this coached? I see no other team that defends this way. Reckon assistant coaches are so important to structures. Hope we can come up with some better systems next year.

We’ve had a million different assistant coaches. Doesn’t change no matter who is there.

Our club is like the Bermuda Triangle. Players just get worse here regardless who the coach is.

Yep. Losing off the field: Ciraldo, JAC, TPJ etc translates to losing on the field.

Admin needs to go. Since Sheens got here things have got significantly worse, surely that can’t be argued.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Does last or second last really matter?

Don’t know about you but it is worthwhile as a short term goal.
Coz it matters !

Question: How do we get rid of all our rubbish?

Are you watching todays game . No, no, no!

You are forgetting we won against north Queensland.

 

[Newtown]

Woods is playing well today and the past weeks.

 

[earl]

Did you see his tackle on Fifita ? That is exactly what we don't need.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Woods is playing well today and the past weeks.

Yes, I admired his attempted tackle on Fifita.
He’s past it and not what we need.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Come on Dragons

The board should hang its head in shame.
The never-ending cycle of palming off responsibilities and kneejerk reactions has only always put us in a more vulnerable position.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Yes we did but doesn’t count for diddly squat.
Scoreboard says we lost.

Sheens has been an unmitigated disaster by any account
Sacked the coach without a plan,humiliated the brand with a spurned approach to his sole coaching contender(after sharing all our secrets) ,lost 2 of our biggest forwards mid season then 2 of our most experienced backs "on loan"...got dictated to by Douhi on jersey number rather than make him earn it ..then worst of all appointed a totally unqualified and inexperienced coach with serious question marks about his abilities to look after the next 5 years..FIVE years !!
Hired nobody..& may lose one of Madges best hires
and almost certainly consolidated our first spoon
..all in 12 months!!
His job,just like Bellamy at Storm who faces smiiliar issues about motivating departing players,is to get all these players playing to their potential rather than run the white flag up on 2022I
Hes not working for Gus is he?
A disaster
Little wonder he got fired from his last 3 gigs
