Well have a listen to Ando on 2GB
Where was Big Rig on this info @RedVHeartbeat

For those of you that listened to DA, well you heard him say it “DY is a great young coach”. Make of it what you will.

Hope he's right but the fact is, his record as an assistant and interim head coach is very unflattering.

If DA is looking over his shoulder, metophorically speaking, and he has good assistants with orders to listen to them and act on their ideas a lot more than it seems Flanno did, he might go ok. Couchmans re-signed knowing he would be the coach.

i will make of that what i always do with similar statements - positive spin for a co-worker.

Yeah that’s true, these people aren’t obligated to tell us the truth.

They can spin whatever narrative they want and frankly I wouldn’t want members of staff bagging another dragons staff member on radio.

Just brings unnecessary + unwanted attention to the club

No excuses for DY in 2027. The roster has been greatly improved. DA has done his job, brought in some big guns, cut the deadwood, re signed the young forwards. Anything less than top 8 in my eyes is a fail if they have a fair run injuries wise

We still need young players with height and speed and tenacity in the outside backs, then I'm ready for next year

All you can say about DA is he’s a quality bloke yes we are lucky to have him and thank god we do.

Listening to DA talk is music to my ears because you can tell from what he says that he knows what he needs to do for us. He "sees the future" by looking at the pathway boys. The best ones emerging are the ones he will keep a close watch on. He says he doesn't watch first grade much but he does watch a lot of the path way games because there are players in them that are our future good ones. Ollie Burton for one.

We are indeed very fortunate to have him and he says of the Dragons that we are a wonderful club - that is great to hear.

I think we are looking at 8-12th, we lack depth currently, we get a few injuries in the 2-5 positions we will struggle, no depth currently, hopefully we can jag a couple of decent centre/wingers.

He watches all FG games he doesn't attend them as they are covered by plenty of cameras, he also doesn't go out at night.
