Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2717930, member: 1899"] The Dragons are an easy nomination. They played some really good football in 2015, but as a club it appears it was nothing more than a purple patch. My biggest issue with the Dragons is their lack of cohesion, and I don't think McGregor has the nous to fix it. There were too many occasions where the Dragons set-plays seemed really rehearsed, making it extremely easy for the opposition defence to read. This would often cause Marshall and Dugan to ad-lib, which would only excacerbate the situation and spoil the Dragons composure. In fact, when the Dragons were at their best, it was when they played direct football and reduced Marshall's involvement. That approach worked really well for a fair portion of the season, but as the Dragons found out, it's difficult to maintain. Unfortunately, I don't think they've brought in enough talent to fix things. A lot of their hopes rest on the likes of Packer & Masoe, two players of potential, who have yet to deliver on the big stage. Beyond that, Lafai has shown promise, but needs to rebuild himself after a shaky 2015. For me, it comes back to a cliche you'll often hear. If you're not moving forwards, you're going backwards. Of all the Top 8 sides, the Dragons have made the least amount of progress and I think they'll fall just outside the eight. [/QUOTE]
