Our joy was short lived with Dragons head honcho Craig Young ruling out sacking Griffin before his tenure is up at end of next season. "we have complete faith in Hook"" he told the media. Why Albert. 14 piddling wins from 41 starts.. starting to lose the dressing room, which Albert as you know, is, the players are losing confidence in their coach.

Personally I wouldn't look too much into it. We all know what happens after an under pressure coach "gets the full backing of the board". If there isn't a very significant improvement in the last 2 months (assuming Dragons don't make the finals), surely he'll be gone at the end of the season. While another heavy loss this week might see him hooked before the end of the season.

HEAT ON HOOK … AS MAGUIRE DEJA VU LOOMS​

DRAGONS coach Anthony Griffin’s call to sack his assistant coaches for next season is an all-too-familiar tune. Axed Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire went down a similar road at the end of last season before ultimately being terminated midway through this year. Red V coach Griffin made the hard line call to move on attack coach Matt Head and defence coach Peter Gentle this week without providing a whole lot of reasoning.

They’ll remain in their roles until the end of the season but there’s no question it’s a sign there’s plenty of movement going on behind-the-scenes at St George Illawarra. Reading between the lines it appears Griffin is far from safe. The Dragons have a hard run home meeting three top four sides in the Cowboys, Cronulla and Brisbane, fellow top eight contenders the Raiders in Canberra and then Gold Coast and the Wests Tigers.

It’s a tough road for them to make the top eight and word is the heat will be on Griffin should they miss the cut. One name we continue to hear linked with a return to St George Illawarra is 2010 premiership-winner Dean Young. The Cowboys have been super-impressed with what Young has done in terms of the club’s defence over the course of the last two years.

He had a chance and messed it up. Not much use moving him on now but pull the trigger and the end of the season barring a very impressive turn around.
