Sack Flanno….

[jodragon40]

It's a positive day. First in a while.

Amen to that, I would have been disappointed if Flanagan was the only one to be shown the door it also had to be Haran who has genuinely done nothing for us that he could put on his resume apart from nice sounding jobs.

Reminds me of an old song, "I can see clearly now the rain has gone". The sun has come out from behind the dark clouds, rejoice

It would be interesting to do a media story count Flanno sacking v Seibold sacking.

 

[Mailroomsgi]

And which journos have written hit pieces and which ones have backed the coach

Brent Read is a Seibold Lapdog and Riccio is a Flanno Lapdog

And both of them have never laced up a boot in their life. Both a grade germs

Board can’t even agree on an interim coach . INTERIM . Canceled training what a basket case

Yah we are about to get ripped apart tonight on all the shows..

Tbf though the interim might also be the head coach.. so its not as simple as a 5 month contract.

 

[Dragon David]

It's all the Board's fault. A pack of self serving non accountable people wasting our time following the Dragons. They cannot make decisions on the interim coach. What a joke.

You know what guys, whomever is finally appointed to be the Head Coach will end up not able to land a Head Coaching job in the NRL once he finishes up with us as the cycle allows it to. For instance Steve Price (only in ESL was he a head coach not the NRL), Paul McGregor, Anthony Griffin and now Shane Flanagan (cannot see him landing a head coaching job at any other NRL club). Who is in line or is head hunted for the job might have to consider whether or not coaching the Dragons spells the end of their coaching career if that coach is the next unlucky person to fail. The pressure will be on from Day 1. How many games will we give the new coach before he gets criticised and another Thread started to sack him?

 

[TheRev]

The thing is.. Hornby is only coming if hes the 2027 coach and the Dragons side want the same agreement for Young.. that he is the longterm coach.. so here we are in a real pickle.. or.. we pick a different interim and they can keep debating it in the background.. we do need 'a' call by tomorrow.

BOARD WILL DECIDE BY MIDDAY TOMORROW WHO WILL BE INTERIM COACH
One of the following Willie Talau, Michael Ennis, Dean Young or Mark Riddell to take over immediately
Thoughts?

I didn't know Riddell was even involved in the club.
If it is Talau, won't that be a signal to Deano and Ennis to move on?

 

[George Sancti]

With neither assistant nominated as interim, it points to ongoing negotiations with the preferred head coach and an expectation he’ll be available this week or next.

 

[Red T]

Could it be Young and Ennis co-interim ?

 

[Mailroomsgi]

No chance it’s riddell lol, whatever journo suggested that obviously hadnt hit the word count for the article they wrote

Interim coach is a bit of a poison pill, isn't it? What can an interim coach do for this year? Promote young players as long as losing isn't going knock their confidence around. Benji did it at the Tigers and it doesn't seem to be going too badly for them now.

I suppose there are two ways to view it, Eric. Whoever ends up coaching us this year, if he can steer us clear of the wooden spoon, that probably counts as a win in itself.

If we can somehow luck into Willie Talau being the interim that would be great.

It was inevitable he was going to be the interim coach.

Is Ennis still the assistant attack coach?
