Roberts despite the hype has he scored????
He was terrible - another poor signing.

Roberts was always a risky signing. I had high hopes but it looks like it's not working. His defence is awful.

Nofo cops plenty but JTJ is worse.

Bunch of softies.

Roberts seems to only get involved off the back of quick play the balls. Flat track and all.

Hope final scorelines doesn't mask anything, my god that was poor.

And the number of points we have conceded in the last 15 games is truly unbelievable.

This may come as a surprise but I think that Roberts will/should be the first dropped next week. Just no real effort from him and probably time to call it a day..

At 150 k always a good buy in hope of a good outcome

The losses aren't hurting as much anymore ?

My missus watches the games with me now because I don't rant at the TV anymore. ?

At halftime i went upstairs as family keeps telling me why do i support a useless team each season and get upset.

Kids declined there memberships (That i gladly paid for)
seasons ago smarter than me,

Taking there advise unless a televised won't be watching the rest of this season.

We are way off the pace,teams like Penrith and South's,Melbourne,will tear us apart,I was a fan of Maguire but now I'm having my doubts,the release of Corey Thompson last year and letting Momirovski go this year we're his two biggest mistakes. We need defensive minded players firstly, J Leilua,Nofoaluma are terrible defensively,Roberts isn't the best either. Ofahengauhe was a rushed decision to try and save face for the loss of Aloiai,this team needs a total rebuild. Other than douehi,Stefano,Mikaele,Liddle,and Luciano these are the only guys putting in,that look like they want to win

Totally agree except I think Joffa has been pretty impressive, especially considering the rabble he’s walked into. Corey Thompson is one of the form winger of the whole comp.

Dragons winning on effort pure and simple. Playing simple footy but trying their guts out. We need to take notes

Griffin has done more in 10 minutes than Madge has in 3 years.

 

[Shooter Mcgavin]

Players worth keeping IMO - Blore, Laurie, Stefano, AD, LL, maybe Liddle.

Need to go - Brooks, Packer, BJ, Mbye, MCK, Nofa, AJ, Talau, Mikaele, Tamou, Garner, Twal, Jet, Walters.

A little hard to make judgements on some fellas like Madden, Simpkin+(s), Tuilagi, Amone etc but most the latter group not worth any extension and would be best to move on ASAP.

Try your guts out in defence and the attack will look after itself, thats what the dragons are doing but we havent a clue and just want to run out and look like primadonnas

Went through the for and against from 2013, the year Brooks made his debut ... here are the numbers

Average points against

2013 ... 15th ... 28 points
2014 ... 13th ... 26 points
2015 ... 15th ... 23 points
2016 ... 9th ... 25 points
2017 ... 14th ... 23 points
2018 ... 9th ... 19 points
2019 ... 9 th ... 20 points
2020 ... 11th ... 25 points

Over the period we have averaged 24.7 points against per season ... the current average is clearly not an aberration.

What conclusion can we draw?

The only valid conclusion is that there is something seriously wrong at the club. It is time that we no longer blame the players or the coach.

There is something systematically wrong at the top. Board and management should be cleaned out. Systems at the club need investigation from grass roots to the top grade.

Bring in a Czar to clean the junk out and rebuild the club. Gus? Bellamy? Bennett?

So $150K to score nil tries good buy?
Like paying $150k for a doing nothing....

I cannot agree with this, for a team lacking application, desire and execution he offers more of the same.

Cool so we’ll have a 20 man squad for next year then?

That’s not how it works.

We took a punt at least he is not on 600k for the next 3 years

100% it’s deeply engrained, young players won’t fix it.

Ask the boss this week?

Young players need to come into a winning culture..
Not have the life sucked out of them
We needed the Latrell’s and Addo - Carr’s..
But you know how that worked out .

Crap training facilities?

Someone else mentioned an exorcism, gotta be worth a shot with that too. Get priests/buddhists/taosits and anyone else that can do it and just "cleanse" everything.

 

[Tonymontana]

Our average points against at 32 from 5 games, this could get very ugly..

Yep got to get the primadonnas out and the "Tommy In" before we have a chance
