Really just a case of CE gamesmanship that back fired ….he clearly made the initial contact with the back of N who was heading back to his defensive position…dumb play but correct decision.
Dragons outplay Manly to the final minute
6 origin players in one team – how is that possible under the salary cap; the rest must be playing for virtually nothing…..suspicious hmm
Why State of Origin is great for the premiership competition
Good call – Widdop would excel at full back and give another dimension to a faltering attack….also and importantly Dragons need to spend $$ on a kicking coach…train/teach all ballplayers how to dropkick 50 metres, how to do big torpedoes, accurate droppunts, banana kicks that curl back etc…such an essential of modern day RL attack…as firstgraders they should all be expert at these skills….some of Widdop’s etal kicking in many games this year have been weak, too short, lacking any control etc Don’t get me started on Doust…he should have been moved on years ago.
Time for a major shake up at the St George Illawarra Dragons
I agree with your comments Steve and disagree with Greg…it is no coincidence that the Dragons last won under a non-oldboy coach. post Bennett, the Dragons needed a coach from outside the club…Maguire would have been perfect!! I expect the Dragons to wallow again this season until Flanaghan is given the head coaching imprimatur. Appointing Mary (much as I like the guy!!) was a huge mistake. And his handling of the DeBelin debacle (and his public comments) were ill considered (and obviously lacking in any knowledge and understanding of the psychological dimension of this great game); he simply handed his underperforming players a psychological crutch; how the centres (Lafai & Aitken) were not booted down to reserves is a mystery to me; Dragons also need to bring in a legend eg Cronk (and pay him what he deserves) to work with Norman, Hunt, McInnes & Dufty (to deputise for Hunt at SOO time) on game management…they could be one of the best ‘spines’ in the comp.; I would also like to see Dufty…he is an underused brilliant asset (after ‘beefing’ up a bit, continually undertaking ongoing defence training and being professionally taught to leap and catch Aussie rules style) let loose at winger with a ‘roving’ licence for later in the halves when the opposing forwards are tired – wingers these days are either huge or small and fast….
