New coach

Lachlan Galvin looked so good last year because he just took the reigns and did anything he wanted (sometimes to their detriment)

I’d like us to let LKT at least get close to the same touches as Kyle, if not more when we are in the red zone, his short kicking game is quality too

Id hate to see bland coaching dull a potential star in LKT

The truth is we have 2 6s on the field. If you are going to go down that track then share the responsibilities between the two. At the very least you can create attacking opportunities on either side of the ruck.

At the moment the opposition are just sliding in defence when LKT has the ball in the knowledge that he is just a passer and won't take on the line.

We have two halves not playing their natural games or who can manage a game. Hence the close losses instead of close wins.

Would be interested to hear from anyone who has some knowledge of the inner workings of the football department if we have specialist coaches or coaching consultants for goal kicking (like Graham Arnold), general kicking (many clubs use AFL coaches, for marking as well), halves, forwards etc or if we have any plans to hire some?

I know for a fact DT the Storm have both wrestling and martial arts coaches.

Another thing is, have they announced our coaching staff for all grades for 2026? Has there been an announcement on who is Ryan Carr's replacement?
I reckon we should go all out and hire Trent Barrett as our attacking coach. His contract at the Broncos ended this year after the grand final.
Michael Ennis replaced Ryan Carr as the attacking coach

I also dont know if Barrett would come back to the Dragons in any way Dave, he's had opportunities before.
Yes same here Justa. He had some dramas of some sort and has never wanted to come back to the Dragons either as a player or a coach (assistant - we would never entertain him as a head coach). He cut short his contract with the Dragons in 2006 to sign up with the Wigan Warriors for 3 years but then only lasted 2 years with that ESL Club and then joined Cronulla for 2 years, after I think we had put out feelers for him to re-join the Dragons but he decided on Cronulla and finished his playing career at that Club at the end of 2010 the year that the Mighty Dragons won the Grand Final - He missed out on winning a grand final as a player - hahaha! Serves himself right.
