Dragon party

Paul Vaughan.
Big bank a/c.
Big ugly house, overpowering its neighbours.
Lots of tough stickers scarring his appearance.
No common sense.

I think it is unfair to Manly that the Dragons are allowed to 2 to 4 weeks to serve the suspensions to be honest.

Meh, the league needs them to be able to field a squad.

They play us, Titans, Souths and Canberra.

If I was then I'd be getting 6 out against us and 6 out against Souths

 

[eaglebuzz]

They'll be missing Vaughan, Hunt and Sims will be underdone from Origin if they play at all, and probably a minimum of 3 of their 1 match suspensions will be used against us. They might even treat the game against us as a write off and try to use up as many of the suspensions as they are able. That's what I'd do, burn one game rather than 3-4.

Agree that bIt really sucks bet the lesser name players is suspended from our match and better players play.

Who decides which player sits out which week?

It's a lottery.

Chocolate wheel at the leagues club ?

 

[Will on the hill]

Bye next week means the players must serve their suspensions between 18-21.
Those games are Manly, Titans, Bunnies and Raiders. Good chance they just cop the loss against us and the Bunnies and go hard against Tits and Faiders.

We maybe biased because their next game is against Manly,but why do they get to spread the suspensions over a few games?Who chooses the games certain players miss?Whats stopping them from saying they’ll suspend those who weren’t likely to play against Manly in that game because Manly is the higher ranked team and they’d be at near full strength then remove the guns against a lesser team in the following games?I bet Penrith wish they could have spread the games their Origin players missed over a few rounds

I think it is fair outcome. It is not going to do us any good playing substandard sides. The Dragon team will still be substandard no matter who they put on/ rest.

 

[Karshy]

I think every club accepts the luck of the draw when it comes to suspensions. This just takes that element out, and in the first instance it smacks Manly.

If they are going to offer Dragons the ability to serve the punishment selectively, they should offer it to all clubs moving forward. Especially when it comes to rep games and finals footy.

He’s already been told he can look for another club, who would want him now. Same goes for Norman.

Obviously neither will not adhere to instructions.

Surely they will apply the suspensions so as to have the stronger team for games they think they can win. They probably think they can beat us, going by our track record against them, but would probably be better-off targeting the Tits and Faders.

I don't see why the players will need to quarantine if there was nobody present from outside their bubble...fines only.

It's the principle.... why are they exempt..... my family in Wollongong are not.... nor is my daughter and grandkids who were visiting Wollongong and flew back to Melbourne and 14 days in quarantine (not leaving the house with a 4 year old and a 5 month old)
They knew what they were doing was wrong.

Guys Covid is an extraordinary time.

The league had to come up with a situation where the Dragons could field a team. A forfeit stuffs the comp and the TV deal.

Lets not jump at issues that aren't there

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

JdB hit up with a cool $42k fine.

He can’t steer clear of trouble.

Agree
I can go to work with 10 others but I can't then go to a house party with them after work so neither should these idiots.
Glad they have come down hard on them

Very dangerous precedent here now the NRL has set. If the dragons are allowed to selectively choose which game certain players miss based on the opposition they are playing then what is going to stop other clubs trying to do this if a player has multiple weeks suspension.

 

[pt73]

The dragons club hasn’t ruled out their own sanctions against the players, they have an emergency board meeting tomorrow.

The club isn’t defending the 13 players.

Dragons statement: Club-imposed sanctions enforced

The St George Illawarra Dragons have handed down additional club-imposed sanctions to the 13 players who breached NRL biosecurity protocols and state government public health orders on Saturday night.

Not sure if it’ll be a friendly neighbourhood after the weekends events

Neighbors, everybody needs good neighbors……..

 

[Karshy]

I dont believe for a second that the Dragons, leaving out the 13 suspended, cant find 17 players to play in their next game between their first grade, NSW Cup and juniors squads (that have turned 18).

If so, it won’t be a top dollar contract and with plenty of behaviour clauses.
