Just a thought which may of already been mentioned, didn’t Flanagan let go of frizell at the sharks many years ago? Could this be an indication that they intend on Flanagan taking the helm? Just a thought
No matter what the reason for Frizell's departure, SGI need to replace him like for like or better. David Fifita from the Broncos is the only player I consider suitable.

It's okay we have Host Kerr and Ford - no dramas

sarcasm is one way to deal with the present state of affairs.
4 wins from our last 22 outings, 2 by way of last placed Titans,
News our best forward is leaving nxt season and no realistic hopes of
replacing him with a player of equal or better quality (ala Fafita)
Following an all to familiar trend of not replacing like for like
Yep no dramas. None at all. The only dramas evidenced by the media are the ungrateful whinging fans who under value their amazing coach.

How is it possible to love this club and f**ken hate it at the same time!?

Current board gone , replaced with results driven board = no more maestro.

We all understand that and so does the board , we are stuck in cement and until someone comes along with a jackhammer , until then we shall remain in this horrible situation.

However yes the Dragons badly need a few good hard forwards to replace not only Frizzell , but also James Graham whose legs are all but gone . We need the toughness of another Graham in his youth and the another player with the attributes of Frizzell , particularly his stamina .

Perhaps Mr. Webb may be able to come up with a plan to solve both problems ?

Lets hope Mr Webb doesn't fall into the St George Illawarra's Web of doom ......

"Decent" or track record of winning ?

McGregor has a track record of loosing

Early days for the newcastle coach.........in past season we have shot out of the blocks in the first 6 rounds

2 rounds doesnt make the top8 nor top4

Na the world can tell.O'Brien has got culture and accountability written all over him.....and likely can coach.....when Mc9 never had it at that level

$$$ possm and we don’t have enough to tempt him to our rabble of a club
  • The salary of Frizell + De Belin = D Fifita + Ford.
  • The salary of Graham should be enough to buy a first-grade prop.
  • The salaries of Aitken and Lafai should cover that of Williame and Suli.
  • Off-load Norman for Clune would provide a good salary saving.
  • Move Hunt to 6 and Clune to 7 would be a good solution.
  • Wingers of Ramsey and Saab will be a good solution.
  • Lomax will shine at fullback in 2021.
  • Replace Mary with Flanagan and we solve our coaching problems.
  • Give Dean Young the head coach job in one of the junior competitions.
I believe the above changes to our player roster will be enough to lift our NRL side into the top 6 in 2021.
