The Dragons' fanbase is reaching its breaking point. A coach is earnestly requesting patience as the team's season spirals downward.
"Stay with us."
After another loss, this time 30-12 against the Warriors, the Dragons' faithful are urged to support the team a little longer, even as their discontent reverberated around Kogarah.
This Round 12 match showcased a disturbingly familiar pattern for the Red V. Alofiana Khan-Pereira, Te Maire Martin, and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak dominated as the rain-soaked night unfolded.
With a staggering 35 missed tackles and 5 linebreaks conceded, the team completed only 69% of their sets. Despite the challenges, Young sought positives, claiming his squad was "building."
"Yeah, I think so. The boys kept on fighting all the way to the end, and that's what I expect," he shared during the post-match press conference.
Young also took a moment to express gratitude to the supporters who braved the elements, enduring losses, and witnessing a less-than-ideal ladder position.
"I know they're in a tough spot and we appreciate all the fans turning up tonight, where we're sitting on the ladder, and to have so many of those fans turn up, pay their hard-earned and sit in the pouring rain."
"We appreciate it, we've got a fan day tomorrow and all the boys are going to be thanking everyone that turns up tomorrow."
