    Coach from 2027

    To me, and I'm not saying that I am right, the whole situation we have been going through for such a very long time stems from those at the top not employing someone who has very expert and keen league nous. Most of the years that we have painfully endured have been sort of band aid cover ups...

    Round 10: St. George Illawarra v Newcastle

    Agree with what you say Justa. The Roosters fans are loving it though - scoring all those tries against us. It has been one way traffic now for years and it is not what league should be about especially at our expense. Winning the wooden spoon this year would be terrible and I feel that once...

    Well put Morgan. Just ride that big wave right to the end and see the positive changes along the journey. Something to really look forward to.

    Coach from 2027

    So it is a matter of hoping to secure the right Head Coach fulltime then us being patient for a few years until all the juniors have become more mature and better players as it happened at Penrith?

    Coach from 2027

    To support your post Chris (which I have googled) - "During his tenure as head coach of the St George Illawarra Dragons from 2009 to 2011, Wayne Bennett reshaped the roster, bringing in several key players who were instrumental in the club's 2010 premiership success. His key signings and...

    Coach from 2027

    Agree with those, thanks Joe. Just hoping that whomever is the chosen one that he is given a decent chance to make us great again. We cannot afford to fail again. It will just be demoralising and heartbreaking for us all if that happens.

    Recruitment & Retention 2027

    Sad really. A lot of us pinned our hopes on him especially seeing how well he played in a couple of games when at Cronulla and Flanno just couldn't resist signing him well in advance. I'd love us to get Jock Madden. He is a very good 5/8th in my opinion.

    Coach from 2027

    Agree Joe. Who do you think we should go for?

    Recruitment & Retention 2027

    Especially with Luai going to the Chiefs in 2028. They still have a couple of guys like Javon Andrews and Jock Madden on their books that can be enterprising when Luai departs.

    ANZAC Day v Roosters

    I like this TSP - "When you’ve got a less glamorous squad, you need more mobility in effective defence and discipline".

    Round 10: St. George Illawarra v Newcastle

    Definitely. Our squad has so many deficiencies it's not funny. The backs are slow as shit, the forwards lack punch and authority. A massive purge needs to take place. I am not sure now about the young ones we have as having all round strength and resilience to play tough all through the game...

    Round 10: St. George Illawarra v Newcastle

    I agree dragonheart - see above.

    Round 10: St. George Illawarra v Newcastle

    In other words - they lack acceleration, anticipation and are indecisive. They don't appear to be able to think of one or more moves ahead because they lack foresight. They are not proactive. In most team sports you play for each other and work out ways to get on top of the opposition...
