Agree we look solid but we most definitely lack speed which will undoubtedly cost us wins this season. It needs a certain game plan to come off for us this year because both Suli and Lomax can beat a opponent one on one. So your game plan must include getting players around those ball carriers especially your fullback chiming in back inside the edges. But what would I know
I think it points to a negative game plan the coach is preparing. Just my view.
And it's not as if we will be able to get away with a loss here or there because the team lacks speed.
Confident we can finish well outside the top 8. That is so depressing

Remember how McGregor used to non-stop rave about making the finals? As though he thought some kind of monument should be erected to commemorate it.Confident we can finish well outside the top 8. That is so depressing
It's reality, and I, being now a 53 yr supporter of the club don't take any pleasure in having to make such statements. It really hurts.Confident we can finish well outside the top 8. That is so depressing
Yes the last 12 yrs has been like watching a really bad reality show when it comes to my beloved dragons and there is no end in sight.
Serious? What is goung on? Soneone needs to lay down the law to the entire squad.
That is our current culture. Terrible
It's like a black comedy at this point. Someone needs to sit him down and say, "Bud, you don't have a license. Spend a tiny amount of your salary on a taxi. Or ask your buddy Junior to drive you."
This is today's world with youngsters there are no real consequences for their actions so they don't fear or think of any consequence their actions could cause.
It's just plain dumb.
Yes there are two Declan Purcell and Sam Hooper, both good 'ns. But they will now have to wait even longer with the recruitment of Haele Finau. This bizarre need to stock up on hookers looks to me like our juniors are being deliberately made to take a back seat to the imports. Meanwhile other clubs will come sniffing round Hooper and Purcell.

Bird was kept to just 17 matches in his two seasons with Brisbane before venturing to Kogarah, with multiple setbacks keeping the versatile 27-year-old on the sidelines at Red Hill.
The past 24 months have seen the former Shark and Bronco play 45 games for the Dragons, with Bird looking to build on a strong 2022 campaign next year. Bird last represented the Blues in 2017, playing all three matches off the bench as the then-Sharks centre hit breakout form.
Hoping to return to the same level of form that saw him recognised on the Origin stage, a third successive uninterrupted start to the season could see Wollongong product press his case for a NSW call-up. “The last two years I've focused on getting through the season without injury, that's happened, now I want to play Origin again,” Bird told The Sydney Morning Herald.
