Perhaps he is backing himself to address his deficiencies and work his way back in to favour during 2026.

It has been a long time Justadragon especially for the true believers. However, there is finally cause for optimism now that we have a decent coach, improved front office, a bunch of good juniors coming through and the new high performance centre is taking shape.

Agree 100% jodragon40. In the words of Cicero ""History sustains us whilst keeping us aware of our follies and misfortunes."

Whilst I’m hopeful Dragons Chris that DA can conjure up a marquee signing (or two) for 2026, I believe his main focus is on 2027 and beyond. The strong clubs seem to have a conveyer belt which delivers talented players required for each season in the positions which need filling. However, the...

You may be right RedV01. I hadn't thought of Koloamatangi in terms of a permanent move to prop until you mentioned it. He may well have his best years ahead of him and will come at a more reasonable price compared to Tino. I hope DA thinks seriously about tabling and offer.

I cannot see this squad being the group which takes the field on Thursday night. If we were to lose just one forward, we would be left with just one forward, Blake Lawrie or LPT, on the bench.

Good point RVH. However, credit where it’s due, the turnaround in the second part of the season has been impressive. If the culture shift continues, next year could be even better.

Really strong effort under the circumstances. Coach Flanno deserves credit for rebuilding the team culture and instilling pride in the jersey.

Unfortunately it appears that it will be a dry track in Auckland on Friday night. I don't know whether this will influence Coach Flanno on who will be in the starting 13.

I believe our fortunes are about to change in relation to attracting top players to the club. In addition to building a more professional front office team, the new high-performance centre at the University of Wollongong is due to open next year. This centre will provide the Dragons players with...

What a great Saturday. The most enjoyable game I have seen live since 2010. Then come home and read all of the true believer comments above, and I still have the replay ahead of me. I agree with just about everything mentioned and would just add our halves were much better that their opposites...

You may be spot on Edward. Even if we do miss out on Doueihi, having Daniel Anderson on board gives me confidence we are now managing the recruitment process more professionally.

I'm not sure whether it rates as a celebratory win, but it definitely brings relief following our recent results. I am proud of the playing group remaining focussed on winning. In light of their recent injuries, they could have just dopped their bundle.

I agree that the Roosters and Bulldogs are ambitious and progressive. However, development clubs like the Dragons provide a service to all clubs and the game in general, which is generally unrewarded.

This is why being a development club like the Dragons is such a disadvantage when compared to procurement clubs like the Roosters and Bulldogs. We identify potential, enlist local parents or other members of the community to coach and nurture the young players, and then after years of...
