Round 14 v Sharks Sunday

[dragonheart]

Apart from our 5 young forwards as usual, the rest can in many ways disappear.

This has been good for the club in many ways to once again see the inadequacies of the team, they can not be coached into being good players.......so carry on Watsford and Atkinson and build us a team for next year that has something between the ears.

So so much wrong with this team

Stopped watching once stonestreet scored to make it 24-12

Feel so sorry for the young forwards, all the hard work undone by shocking edge defence for the most part

The primary goal before next season is somehow find some competent Outside backs who don’t let the NRL side down every week

we havent got any !!!

Ok so we broke that losing run of 15 straight. Will we beat that losing streak after today's loss. I wanted the Dragons to win of course but I picked the Sharks to win by 16 points until Trindall scored in the 75th minute. Blast it on both counts (losing the game and missing out on picking the score difference in the tipping).

We will be shithouse if the Club signs up Deano as the Head Coach. If they do, our years will be so up and down like what we have seen since whenever and that will be absolutely disgusting. The Club has got to do its due diligence on the Head Coach and obviously the players that we have. So many players need the bullet. Mostly play park footy standard.

That's my rant for the night.

Know that you mean Watsford and Anderson dragonheart.

 

[Justadragon]

DY looked pissed off in the PC, but if you havent got the team to defend errors or the creativity in attack, then this year is over, and it is.

 

[Mailroomsgi]

The first half was great, that’s the blue print

Same with the first 60 mins against the broncos

I’d like to see more good performances but I don’t put tonight on Dean Young at all, I think individual errors and player ability is the reason we didn’t score 20+ points and conceded 6 tries

 

[Justadragon]

Thank god we got to play the Sharks with their best players out, I was really wrapped with that.

 

[dragonheart]

Was the first half really great, I dont think so,. The sharks were bad and we just hung in there with 50/50s our way for a change, thats all.

Disagree partially ...

There was almost a blueprint in the first half, we dominated them but couldnt capitalise because our spine and outside backs are so shit. the forwards were fantastic in that first 30

Metcalf/Drinkwater will turn that dominance into points.

One thing is for sure mate, we couldn't punish them for their errors meanwhile they flogged us for ours.

 

[Mailroomsgi]

Yep, that’s partly why I said it’s the blueprint, getting lots of tackles in the red zone is the goal of every side for obvious reasons. Reduces the chance of conceding tries + way higher chance of scoring if you have 40 tackles in the red zone compared to 15

I am very excited for Metcalf/Drinkwater, their speed opens things up. The run threat from Metcalf will make such a difference.

I also think Atkinson needs to pull his finger out, if he’s playing shit in round 12 next year pending Kade’s form I’m happy to drop him to Reggie’s

I’m confident Dean Younf would make that decision if it was required, he’s said plenty he’s picking the side on merit

 

[dragonheart]

This is a really bad backline and Atko and Kyle havnt got a nous of talent between them.

Absolutely no creativity at all, not once do we look like scoring in their 10-20 metre zone, game after game we are served up this slow lethargic pointless, easy to read attack this year

I refer you to this saying "you cant make a silk purse out of a sow's ear"

 

[Xuiz]

I would keep no one in the backline maybe Atkinson ........

No he can go as well

What are people seeing in Atkinson?

Kade Reed will eventually take his spot

 

[dragonheart]

Thats about it Justa, it's soa awful to watch this backline at work

 

[RufusRex]

I think next season we need 2 x centres from somewhere

1. Drinkwater, 2. Sami, 3. ???, 4. ???, 5. Holmes, 6. Atkinson, 7. Metcalf

If atkinson does nothing with that around him then he can f*ck off but happy to give him a chance there with that cattle around him.

 

[dragonheart]

So we might fluke another win, but geez it's horrible watching this rabble.......i feel so sorry for the young forwards.

Hamish and Toby and Ryan are my favourites like most of us, but watching Dylan wrap up guys is great to watch also.

 

[Xuiz]

Su’A has come back from injury overweight

Obviously he isn’t putting in at training anymore, probably trying to get an early release

 

[dragonheart]

Know that you mean Watsford and Anderson dragonheart.

I've got Akinson on my brain, you are right David

If he continues to play like he did today and like he has most games this year you would give him to round 12 next year? When I first saw round 12 I thought it was just a typo. Like you meant round 16. But then you said next year.

It's a losing culture among fans and one where imports continue to be given every chance and then 20 more while our own dudes who have come though the grades are crucified if or when they have a bad game.
