I don't think the Dragons have improved much since Flanno was sacked. It's just the Warriors halfback is only 50% better than Kyle which makes him the second worst halfback in the competition. If their coach continues to go with him rather than Metcalf, they won't get many more wins.
Reserve grader.
He is a Shane Flanagan signing a year and a bit before he came to us in 2025. To me not the greatest of signings but Shane loved him and couldn't wait for him to play for us alongside his son. Both the son and Atko will be replaced next year I have no doubt. We need spark and ability to score tries in the halves. Without looking at stats, I can't recall Flanno scoring a try for ages and Atko I think has only scored one or two.
There is a player in him, so im not sure if its a result of being paired with Flanagan and being coached by Shane/Dean.. maybe a pre-season next to Metcalf and/or Reed will help him focus on what hes good at....
Meaningless. Since the early part of the season the game has slowed way down resulting in fewer blowout scores.
Yes the slowest backline you can see our plays coming a mile off no one threatens it’s like training drills side to side boring. Atkinson, Kyle, Gutho need to go they offer nothing at all. Our forwards bust themselves every game for our slowest backs to do the side to side shit hoping for a miracle
We have been dudded big time. Peter Peters on Skysports Radio said that the Dragons were "dudded with poor officiating". The bunker has cost us in so many games it is not funny. Against the Warriors at least 4 decisions went against us - the Pompey try, the forward pass to DWZ for his try, the Tu no try and the escort which wasn't.
Spot on David. We get smashed by officials because we are sitting bottom, so who cares if we lose another. We fans do for starters. What we are doing past weeks under Dean Young is contesting games so these crap calls are really hurting us and even costing us matches. Like recent ones, we were in this game up to our necks, only those harsh calls sunk us in the end.We have been dudded big time.

Chris Butler was the bunker man and bloody Grant Atkins started it in Vegas. I think overall, we have been dudded in 5 games this year and all the NRL does is apologise. The Dragons need to submit an official complaint and ask for a full investigation as to why the Club gets the wrong calls so many times and why are the officials against us.
