Dragons’ coach Tony Mitchell has conceded that the club’s player crisis is at flash point after Moss Vale’s 58-10 away loss to Narellan yesterday.

With just 15 players for both reserve and first grade, the Dragons were forced to field virtually identical sides for both matches.

“Players just aren’t turning up and it’s extremely frustrating,” Mitchell said.

“It’s the same guys week in, week out who are letting us down and they’re an absolute disgrace.

“But full credit to the blokes that do turn up, they have a tonne of guts.”

The most recent drama for the club comes on the back of a horror season, with the captain/coach and a host of key players turning their back on the Dragons.

With final contenders Narellan fired up to add to its for and against total, it’s no surprise the Dragons were subjected to another 50-point pasting.

“It was the same old story, missed tackles and dropped ball,” Mitchell said.

“We just seemed to be very disorganised but at least the boys kept going.”

So drastic was the player situation that injuries during the match meant that the Dragons finished with only 11 players on the paddock.

But the proud nucleus of hard core Dragons players held their head high, holding their own in the second term after being down 26-0 at half time.

Peter McGuiness scored the Dragons first try when he crashed over on the end of a well-executed Ross Webb offload.

Front rower Simon Rumble claimed the Dragons second after busting the defence after a Scott Shepherd pass.

The Dragons will play their last home game when they meet Camden at Community Oval next week.

A meeting deciding the club’s fate next season will be held on August 6 but sources suggest the Dragons will opt to play in the lower tier of next season’s revised competition.
