Going to Dragons games for 40 years, I will accept Bird still knows more about footy than me. But I do know Lock forwards should not be tackled on 6th tackle a long way out from tryline with the game in balance.

Bird brain: Jack says sorry for 'fans don't know much about footy' sledge but horse has already bolted

Very happy with Liddle’s performance too. I think he has the job for a while. Saw NSW cup hooker Connor Muhleisen walking out of Kogarah Oval on crutches & wearing a moon boot.

ANALYSIS: Dragons need to keep showing faith in young star, Titans need to show some spirit

Just checked Knights website he is senior assistant coach there

Hasler, Flanagan or someone with fresh ideas - who looks right for Dragons’ coaching job when Griffin gets hooked?

Very sure, he has come over from UK. I imagine he would not want to be an assistant for too long

Hi Tony, I believe he has won four superleague titles in the UK

Mick Potter for me or Knights assistant Brian McDermott, sign him before he ends up with top job @ knights.

Potter did a good job at the Bulldogs & won’t leave a smoking wreck behind him like Des did at the Bulldog’s.
I would have no qualms about Hornby, Ryles or Young, all have been away long enough not to be in Nathan Brown’s situation at having to coach his team mates.

Totally agree he won a grand tour, that is no small achievement. Michael Mathews was a long way back at last corner. He must have stormed home to get 3rd.

Agree Welcome to the Dragons Francis Molo! He was aggressive with some strong runs & hits.
Very proud of Dragons effort last night. Great Atmosphere @ Kogarah last night, crowd right behind the team.

Hi Tony, I enjoyed the article, except for memories of 4 losing grand finals for the Red V. Gorden Tallis did not play for Saints in 96. He spent the year training for the Broncos having signed with super league he refused to play. He got a hot reception on his return to Jubilee Oval in a Bronco’s jumper.

The greatest grand-finalists of the 1990s

Hi Mega Dragon.

I was at the 99 GF (my best friend is still not over that one). Bulldogs Supporters were lining Roberts Rd & waving at the buses full of us Saints supporters one the way home. The Prelim loss to the Tigers in 05 – That was our year. I remember feeling that they were trying to win it at every play rather than build pressure.

I was at 2010 GF. We had a celebratory beer after the game. Did a victory dance with former NSW Premier & Saints tragic Morris Iemma in the corridors of the Stadium. Then headed to Jubilee Oval to see the team bring the trophy at around midnight. I wish I had a photo of that night. Pre smart phone days for me.

Hoping this new generation of Kid’s bring back some glory days.

Terrific article Mega Dragon,

The 1996 side is my favorite all time Dragons side. I was at The three finals wins. I remember feeling sorry for the Bears fans’s. Their fans I would think feel that was one that got away. They had some great sides in the 90’s. Also remember hearing Billy Moore being interviewed by ABC radio after the game( & several weeks ago) he was so despondent.
1996 began with Rod Reddy leaving before the season to go to Adelaide Ram’s, turned out to be a blessing in disguise with David Waite coming in at late notice. Gorden Tallis also sat out the year to train with the Bronco’s. His aggression would have been handy against Manly in the GF. That Manly side was awesome. During the second half they were calling out “Bulldogs” to themselves to remind them of what happened in 1995 GF.
Kevin Campion played with us for one year because he had a contract in place for 1997. He had a brilliant year!
The Dragon’s army was out in force during that finals series. We were loud and made our presence known. Billy Moore did mention that in his post game interview.
Fittler carried an injury into the second game against us, We knew we had that game won when he signalled the bench that he could not go on.

We have had more talented sides since, but the 1996 side was a great team that gave it everything they had.

Great article and great memories!

Being at the game, he always looked threatening his speed around the back of the line was awesome to watch. He got a good round of applause at half time.

Matt Dufty has proven the Dragons' decision making is madness

Would not be surprised to see Ed Kavalee & Sam Pang have some involvement. Both big fans of the game and have network connections.

What should football’s new Network Ten/Paramount+ commentary team look like?

Dragons let Aitken leave so the Faegai. twins can be brought through, now they are chasing Folau. Do not get what they are trying to do here. Very sorry to see Cam McInnes leaving, great attitude who should be a role model for the young guys coming through.

Israel Folau is reportedly on the verge of an NRL comeback

This happens frequently whether it is the Saints v Roosters Anzac day game or for another reason. When there is a minutes silence in an English football game whether it is for War commemoration or for example the 96 Liverpool supporters the silence is complete. It is really disappointing to see that a small number of people cannot shut up for 60 seconds.

Disgraceful scenes as Origin fans start jeering during the minute's silence

Another enjoyable article Barry. I was a fan of the Red Turp aka the Turp Factor & Listening to Roy & HG getting very worked up whenever he got the ball during those losing grand finals against the Broncos.
