My summary of the rumours is:
- Flanno and Haran gone
- Interim is Young, Ennis or Hornby (MC saying its Young or Hornby)
- 2027 Coach: I mean if they've picked Hornby he is the 2027 coach.. but the other 2 would be interim only surely..
- 2027 GM: Unknown if they already have the replacement..

Do you think Shane Richardson would take the GM role?

A shame. I know it's hypothetical but I still think if someone from above like Haran had said on the first day, 'No, you can't recruit Kyle.' Flanno would have proven to still have it as a coach. Though his recruitment of good but slow 3/4s like CT and Gutho to compliment an already slow backline was bizarre.

I would love it to shake the place up, but I'm not optimistic..
Its possible they have the replacement already, but maybe they want to go to market after the announcement.

Listen .. the Bruce Gordon Cenrtre of OMG is still new, club probably havent worked out the best place to put the camera's and Mics yet ... just allowing a bit of extra time to get that in order.

SEN Brandy is saying they are hearing the options are Ben Hornby, Dean Young or Michael Cheika.

If you want untested fresh ideas its Chieks, if you want someone who has strong ties to the club and is doing their apprenticeship under a hall of fame coach its Hornby, if you want very little change its Young.

What if we want to win games?

I think Michael Cheika would bring the young players through well he is considered a good man manager.

He is the big unknown will the board be strong enough to take such a big leap on someone untried in RL?

| Dear Red V Members, I’ll be straight with you: 0–7 is a failure. I won’t dress it up, and I won’t insult you by trying. You have invested money, time and genuine passion into this club. That gives you every right to be angry. That said, I also want to speak to you directly about an important decision for our club. NRL Head Coach Shane Flanagan and General Manager of Football Ben Haran have departed the Dragons by mutual agreement. These are not decisions anyone makes lightly. Shane and Ben have both worked hard for the club, and on behalf of the Dragons, I want to thank them for their efforts, professionalism, and dedication. What matters now is what happens next. That means building something that lasts. Our focus is on making the right decisions for the club and on building something sustainable, not on chasing quick fixes. On the field, the playing group knows where this club stands and what is expected of them. From here, that must be shown in performance. Off the field, we have also made record investment in our pathways, development and academy programs, with a clear focus on local juniors across both catchment areas. That work remains important to the club’s long-term future. There is a lot being said externally right now. Our job is not to react to every headline. It is to improve performance, make sound decisions and communicate directly with you when it matters. News of this significance should come from us first. I’m not asking you to lower your standards. I’m asking you to stay with us as we work to meet them. That starts this week at Allianz Stadium against the Roosters in the Anzac Day clash. We have a lot of work to do. We know that. And we will keep doing it. Tim Watsford Chief Executive Officer |
