Message: [QUOTE="Santa, post: 3701101, member: 11237"] [B]St. George Illawarra Dragons[/B] [ATTACH type="full"]31480[/ATTACH] Ah, the Dragons—the NRL’s equivalent of a Nokia 3310. Sure, they were once tough and respectable, but now they’re just outdated, slow, and completely useless in the modern era. Every season, they promise their fans "things will be different", and every season, it’s the same miserable train wreck that derails by Anzac Day. Let’s talk history, because that’s all Dragons fans have left. Yeah, they technically have 16 premierships, but 15 of them happened when blokes wore short shorts and smoked at halftime. Since the merger? One single title in 2010, and they’ve been dining out on it ever since, acting like they’re a powerhouse when in reality, they’re the NRL’s most prestigious retirement home. And now, after years of pain and mediocrity, their best players have finally had enough. Ben Hunt? Gone to Brisbane faster than a paycheck at the pub. Zac Lomax? Off to Parra, probably to learn what a finals game feels like. Jack Bird? Bolted for the Tigers, which is a real sign of how bad things are when someone voluntarily joins Wests. What’s left? A bunch of rejects, has-beens, and players who look like they won a contest to be in first grade. And then there’s Shane Flanagan, the club’s latest “masterstroke” hire. Ah yes, Flanno—known for one premiership and an entire drug scandal. This is the guy who got banned from the NRL for running an illegal peptide program at the Sharks, and the Dragons thought, “Yep, that’s our man!” What’s the game plan, Flanno? Start cooking up some secret supplements in the Kogarah changerooms? The bloke hasn’t won a relevant game in years, and now he’s expected to turn this shambles into a finals team? It’s like hiring a bloke who crashed a Ferrari to drive your Uber. Recruitment? A disaster. While other clubs sign actual talent, the Dragons are out here scooping up bargain-bin rejects like a bloke raiding the clearance section at Kmart. They either sign washed-up players looking for one last payday or random no-names that make fans say, “Who?” Their biggest signing is probably a new social media manager to help spin the next losing streak. And the fans? Oh, these poor, delusional souls. Every year, they tell themselves “this is our year”, and by Round 10, they’re already planning their Mad Monday outfits. They still scream about being a “proud club,” but the only thing proud about the Dragons is how consistently they disappoint everyone involved. At this point, the Dragons are like an 80s rock band still touring without any original members. No talent, no future, just a bunch of people pretending it’s still the good old days. And the way they’re going? They’ll be waiting another 50 years before they even sniff a premiership again. [/QUOTE]
