Ah it’s the king of the jerkoffs. He’d be over the moon with the Broncos at the moment
Mr McGregor WILL coach the dragons next season if they make the 8.
Reason 1. The side has improved dramatically in a drama, (DeBelin) and covid plagued season.
Reason 2. The dragons don't have to pay him out and then turn around and pay for another coach.

Why Dragons fans let people from other clubs like manly and cronulla come in here and take pot shots at our club is bewildering.
They laugh in your face and you let them.

Because underneath they really wish they were Dragons tragic like us

And our management will be very happy to believe him

McGregor came up on the sunday footy show panel....all panelists supported him except Andrew Webster....Well done Mr Webster...stated that the wins have been against mediocre sides and that his fear was that the Board would deem that as an acceptable Standard ,as they seem to accept mediocrity as their standard for a pass mark.....BULLSEYE..all starts with the BOARD..

Interesting that the other panelists mentioned that it all had to do with what coaches were available and when....one even hinted at Paul Green...which was a surprise....fitzgibbon and Bennett mentioned but because they are not available until 2022 , comment was made that mcGregor was Safe....if they are in fact chasing the later....interesting times...

So you want to know a real coach does and focus' his team on watch what Mary talks about and then compare that to Robinson.

https://www.nrl.com/tv/matches/telstra-premiership/2020/round-10/roosters-round-10/
Robinson [around the 3 minute mark] he is asked the question "Is handling a worry ......" and his response " its something you want to improve, but it's not something that we focus on. We don't want to stop playing footy and hold the ball.

https://www.nrl.com/tv/matches/telstra-premiership/2020/round-10/dragons-round-10/
Mary "Opposition show a bit of resilience", "We didn't turn the ball over much", "on the back of a 6-1 penalty count against us", "If we play the right sort of footy for a long period of time, you get the rewards at the end of the game","possession wins you games", "and even if you aren't getting points, you got to keep getting possessions", "second half we won field position, kicked well....", "we build pressure and"

To me, Mary is focussed on holding possession, eliminating mistakes, play field position and then the results will come. What we have witnessed, is once we get near the try line over the past few years, our players are too robotic and focussed on making a mistake hence we have struggled to regularly score points.

Trent on the other hand wants his team to play whats in front of them and accepts that some mistakes will happen - just tries to minimise them.

Very interesting to listen to then and what's important to them.
