Stereo has slammed the Dragons gamble. 9WWOS

One of the biggest talking points leading into the 2019 NRL season was the gamble Dragons coach Paul McGregor was taking on a complete shake-up of the side's spine and after just one match legendary Eels halfback Peter Sterling thinks it is doomed to fail.

Sterling's take comes after St George Illawarra were soundly beaten by the Cowboys on Saturday night, with the visitors looking clunky in attack following the shift of skipper Gareth Widdop from five-eighth to fullback to accommodate new signing Corey Norman. The experiment has relegated livewire 23-year-old Matt Dufty to the bench, with McGregor injecting him for just 13 minutes in Round 1.

McGregor has revealed he expects a spine of Dufty-Widdop-Norman and Ben Hunt at hooker late in games to open up opponents and create try-scoring opportunities but Sterling says the Dragons sacrifice too much when Widdop's taken out of the front line to start games. "The longer this season goes, the more important we will see the short attacking kicking game is in the modern game," Sterling told Wide World of Sports for"Now along with Adam Reynolds I think that he has the best kicking game in the competition. He's only one of maybe one or two players who actually kicks the ball effectively with his left foot as well.

Why is the Murray-Darling Basin so important and how did we end up at this point?Amid the deaths of millions of fish and a scathing royal commission report, a war of words has erupted around the Murray–Darling Basin. How did we get here? And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. How many years have we been seeing reports like this It’s really is time to fix it Oh, I know! I know! Because of gross mismanagement by government puppets of the cotton industry! Corruption and political backscratching for big business while our environment is laid to waste!

Overseas doctors not the answer to regional shortfall, GPs sayWith more locally trained Australian doctors than ever before, why can't they go to the regions? I'll say. We need to make time in a rural location as part of new Doctor training and better incentives for Doctors to relocate to these areas so they can train new doctors. The same goes for new teachers This is a big money racket , regional doctors. Believe it or not some even go to NZ to make up shortfalls on weekends or public holidays. The people you trusted found another way to scam to screw YOU and the system !!
