I know Kyle had a hard time at the Bullgrubs but what a rubbish forward pack he was playing behind! Last years forward pack for the Dragons wasn't anything to write home about either. Though I still think he has a good skill-set for a hooker. I'm not sure what the problem with Illias was.
Don't forget it goes both ways. If forwards go well, halves need to set up a lot of tries. I hope Ilias has a good kicking game.
I will give Hunt credit for 2 things. His running game close to the line and his long kicking.
What sporting team is New Zealand Jets? and Why did he only last only 9 months at the NRL?
Lol You would think the article would mention that piece of vital information..
Good questions. Honestly, I have no idea but sounds promising ↓
The only Jets I know of in NZ are the Basketball team? I'd have to have a look when I get home if he was involved to confirm.
Ok the CEO of our club what is he suppose to do ........ ? Does he have a say with who gets employed in the footy side of it ? ....... Does he have to sign off on all aspects of the Leagues Club ? ........ If so the previous lot did nothing ......... Can anyone fill me in ........Impressive resume. Looks like a good choice.‘Definitely a desire to be great’: First interview with new Dragons CEO
Tim Watsford believes Dragons are a sleeping giant that is just about to be awakened.www.smh.com.au
Good question. WTF do they do? They report to the board but does that mean the board decides if a coach or player should be sacked? Maybe they do sales quite a lot but not sure what he would sell the NRL doesn't already. Maybe hire people further down the trough than head coach if the board decides that. Is it more like the GM job the sneaky fuk Phil Gould does at the Grubs?
AI says:
Sounds easy.
I think the new guy will be alright .........
How Good do those jersey's look....
RED V REVIVAL
A room full of heavy hitters from sport stars to high-flying business people came together to help launch an intimate but passionate support-led group to help St George Illawarra flourish.
The likes of Mark Taylor, Graham Richardson and Warren Livingstone were on-hand for the inaugural lunch at Woolloomooloo Bay on Thursday afternoon. They were joined by Dragons coach Shane Flanagan, chairman Andrew Lancaster and long-term board member Peter Doust.
The idea is the brain child of former Channel 9 and 2GB star Chris O’Keefe and Academy Brand founder Anthony Pitt – who are two of the most connected but ardent Dragons fans.
“This group is about unashamedly asserting the Dragons as the number one club in the NRL,” O’Keefe said. “It’s as simple as that. We have a huge number of powerful and successful people that are passionate Dragons supporters and we want to unlock their networks and talent to support the club and its players in every way.

“Businesses who partner with St George Illawarra will be guaranteed mutual success and our club can leverage these networks of this group however they need to.
“We have a great foundation to build from but we can take it to the next level. Anthony Pitt, Jason Nightingale, a club legend and commercial force in his own right and myself have a pretty simple vision for this; Not only do we want to win premierships, but we want to entrench the Dragons as a formidable and sustainable commercial force too.”
The group will act as a major networking opportunity for sponsors and mentorship for St George Illawarra players and staff.
“In business and politics no single person ever has all the answers, so leaning on expertise from all walks of life will only enhance the success of the Dragons,” O’Keefe said. “The chairman Andrew Lancaster has been instrumental in this and the board can certainly see the value of a group like this.”
