If he hasn’t learnt yet now he never will. Yesterday’s man....he needs to go and he has needed to go for quite a while.

In a way I agree with you but he actually hasn't been dropped yet and I would love to see how he actually goes with a different coach, especially if Flanno ends up being our reserve grade coach.

 

[Gippsy]

I have seen him play for fiji 4 times and every time he is one of their best 3 at games end. Smart player. Needs to continue to develop his passing game from dummy half if 9 is his future...

yep, seems to have the makings of an ideal bench player, at least.

I believe it has already been reported that D Young will be the reserve grade coach and Flanagan will be the defensive coach and everything else by the looks of it.

Mary will be …………. ???

It has not been reported that DY is the reggies coach..it has been reported he has been spared the axe.

Which is ridiculous as he should have been punted before Hornby.

Dean Young is still there only because his dad is who he is.
Great player but not a great coach imo

I would not say a great player..in fact he was a just a good 1st grader... but wholehearted

Still helps us win a title and for that will always the legend on the field to me. But not sure you'll ever make it as a coach

LOL...you are correct I only made it so far as equal to a park footy 1st grade coach and that was enough for me dealing with Gen Y. I saw the light back in 2009 where voluntary committee is now enough for me dealing with Gen Y.
Back to Dean...I feel his personality is similar to Mary's and like Hornby should do his apprenticeship elsewhere if he wants to be coach but i believe his job going forward is more mixed and includes team welfare etc and that CC coach belongs to someone else?...well i hope that is the case anyway.

Well said let hope it works out that way

There is a long list of ex Dragons that I love and still admire as contributors of many hours of quality entertainment for me. This includes Mary, Craig and Dean Young, Brian Johnston and many others.

This said, these players were marked on their ability to PLAY quality rugby league. To extend that love to another career in management or coaching is another matter. I tend to judge on their ability in a new role and how their contribution improves the Club and is keyed to the best interest of the Club.

I'm afraid that although I loved the above mentioned people as players, I detest them for the poor quality of work they are doing in their current roles.

Craig couldn't coach a Choko vine over the fence.

Craig couldn't coach a Choko vine over the fence.

Or a dog to a tree.

Yes- if anything, there tends to be a weak correlation between playing ability and coaching ability. The best and most successful coaches of the last 40 years or so were mainly average (at best) players- I'm referring to Jack Gibson, Warren Ryan, Bennett and Bellamy.

Mary will be top dog. No coach is coming here

 

[NRLMad]

I didn't waste my time watching but I'm guessing it was another one sided joke exhibition game from a couple of international teams that any NRL team would flog on a bad day?
Wasted weekend of footy, rugby league is only and should only be a club game.

You are quite the moron. The only way the game can grow is -

1. by expansion - Perth, bris2, nz2
2. Via international competition - tonga beating Australia? Yeh right would any team in the nrl beat them.
