The Mole: 'Joke' Dragons move threatens full-scale revolt, Folau's Catalans debut looms
By The Mole
Dragons fans are preparing to launch a full-scale revolt if former Kangaroo prop Craig Young is appointed chief executive in coming weeks.
Already seething with the club after yet another season of under-performing in 2019, Dragons supporters are angry that Young is even being considered for the post.
The respected Brian Johnston announced his intention to resign late last year, creating problems for the Dragons.
I've heard there are four contenders for the position - Young, former Knights star Matthew Rodwell and two AFL executives.

The Dragons have a long history of 'jobs for the boys' and fans fear that will see Young, a former great but an old-school official who struggles with 'people skills' and financial experience - get the nod.
I have been inundated with messages from irate fans believing Young, who has no experience at senior management level, will be put in charge of their struggling club.
"It's typical of the way the club operates - looking after their old mates," one supporter wrote to me.
"I'll rip up my membership if they give it to 'Albert' - it's a joke," said another.
