Dragons Lair General Information

[redv13]

"“I haven’t really spoken to anyone there but my feeling is that it’s not great and they’re looking forward to next year.”

Host Braith Anasta also asked Read for more information.

“Have you heard anything here? Because I feel there’s some tension in the air,” Anasta said.

“I’ve heard that some players are unhappy obviously,” Read responded.

lmao

Read is an idiot. Zero substance, just his opinion with zero facts to back it up

Isn't he a Dragons supporter? I always forget who is who in the media.
If there isn't unrest and general unhappiness, there should be. 3rd last on the ladder with out best player on the way out.

Dean Young one of 3 main contenders for the knights head coach role according to chammas.

That's actually an embarrassing article and makes them look like utter fools, that's sounds like an Abbott and Costello sketch, actually make it the 3 Stooges..

It creates a perfect excuse for Anasta to throw some more pot shots too, bloke loves it (segment was probably his idea). Almost looks like they might have lined us up as the next team to pick on now that tigers won some games and newc/titans already sacked coaches.

True but unhappiness and dissatisfaction doesn't equal unrest. That's how I see it anyway. Unrest sounds like a lot of finger pointing and backstabbing, or front stabbing, going on behind the scenes. Dissatisfaction is just being disappointed at how the season has gone.

Basically sounds like Anasta getting one back for his player Illias, who has not achieved his potential (quite possibly due to the horrific injury he suffered and maybe not overcoming the mental scars).

What was correct about the article or debate is that Flanno better have a rabbit to pull from his hat next year. Or a few rabbits. Josh Kerr comes in for Jack de Belin (God have mercy) and Sharks 18th or 19th man utility is supposedly going to be halfback.

I hope for the sake of fans and Flanno's coaching future LKT kicks on, Reed comes good earlier than planned, the young forwards keep getting better and there is still another couple of good players signed. A good 'fast' winger is the priority.

ok so who at the club has leaked the fact that we are unhappy. Just because we are out of finals and have been for a while, been smacked twice by 40pts with another hiding on its way to make it 4 losses in a row to end the season, finished 15th on the ladder, why would we be unhappy. After all, the players are still getting paid, all the club bosses are getting paid, the owners are getting their profit. Really I think the only people that would be happy are the supporters that dont have to see this shit show go round for any longer than needed.

I can't understand how Flanno doesn't have a lot more supporters losing their minds. He's taken the team backwards. That is just a fact.

Yeah I get your point mate, sometimes I listen to him and think wow and other times I think Flanno is giving them everything but we just havent got the cattle. There have been games this year where we shouldn't have needed Flanno to motivate them, but yet they didn't turn up, I just have to suck it up until next year otherwise I will lose my mind.

And TBF, the injuries in the forwards, particularly when we were already short, didn't help. He was also managing recruitment and retention when now we can all see, he has no ability to do that well. But I still think he's gotten a D for his 2 years so far.

Big year for him next year.

Yep I think regardless of his extension, if there isn't a marked improvement in the side and I'm talking top 8, I think there will be a few axes starting to sharpen up

He's had a number of things go against him. Long term losing Hunt and Molo was good. They were very much overrated and overpaid but were both in the coaches plans for this year. Losing Couchman In round 1 was another hammer blow.

But he's the one who did stupid shit like sign Eisenhuth, RFM and a few others to a lesser extent. Now Josh f*cking Kerr....

So I mean he certainly hasn't been good but not that bad either. Next year there needs to be big improvement from round 1.

He sent Bud Sullivan packing after he knew Amone was in big trouble and was likely to be unavailable. But I tend to agree he's done some good and bad things. From next year I think we should expect much more good and less bad.

Remember Lomax as well. If he stayed on the wing, it would have gone a long way to fixing our winger woes.
