I'd like to know why the Dragons didn't make a play for Klemmar and/or Bateman. Instead we took 3 players Wests Tigers no longer wanted so they could buy Klemmar and Bateman.

There's plenty to unpack from that. Especially Sloan. I agree he needs a spell in reserve grade. Right now I can only express relief. Lets all get behind Gold Coast tomorrow or after 12 rounds, we will be on the bottom of the ladder!

Either way is ok. Dragons are at rock bottom now. Like Tigers when they sacked McGuire. Tigers have done the right thing.
  1. Get rid of dead wood.
  2. Promote promising young players.
  3. Recruit a few old, proven professional winners.
  4. Appoint a coach with a proven record of success.
i.e. everything the Dragons haven't done.

When FO appointed Carr they said there would be some recruitment this season. So what if our new head coach does not like the chosen ones, immediately there is a conflict of interest. Is Brown our new R&R boss?

Radley is looking at a lengthy spell after that headbutt. Should have more added for his choke hold on Lomax. Good riddance, turned his back on his birth country.
It's just about money. Not as if he was ever going to get selected for NSW or Australia. JDB is 10x the player.

Coach much have told him, "run the ball" but he won't.
YOU GUYS ARE MISSING THE CRUX OF THE PROBLEM, WITHOUT GO FORWARD SLOAN'S RUNNING GAME IS NEGATED. WE SAW HOW HE COMES ALIVE WHEN THE DUMMY HALF AND HALF ARE TAKING THE TEAM FORWARD. HE SHOWED THAT ON ANZAC DAY AND PRIOR TO LIDDLES BANISHMENT. LIDDLE WENT MISSING IN ATTACK YESTERDAY, 27MS HE RAN, WHILE HUNT RARELY MOVED THE BALL WIDE. THEN OTHER THAN JACK, OUR FORWARDS GROUND TO A HALT AS THEIR FITNESS GAVE OUT.

Griffin recruited the dead wood.

Excellent thanks. dead set I struggle reading newspaper print these days.
Do you know how to make the text bigger? See the "TT" symbol with a little arrow in the toolbar? Click on it and you can change the size of the text. As big as this.

In the first half, there was plenty of go-forward. There were several times when he got the ball, plenty of room to move, to take on the line but didn't. And then the issue of his kick returns. -6m PCM! Minus! Absolutely unacceptable.
