Dragons appoint Griffin coach

[JamesRustle]

How’s this being reviewed in the Dragons forums?

Already a “Sack Griffin” thread going I assume?

I am in no place to lol, yet I must lol.

Hopefully it's not on a 5 year contract that doesn't contain performance benchmarks.

defense is his go. right , dragons need a good attacking assistant coach

Yep. Has no idea about structure has worked with Hunt before but who is on coaching staff is key

@martielang has a new 2nd team. Griffdawg will be a step forward for the Dragons, he will get them fit at least.

If they sign Katoa... We will lose him to the darkside

Best of luck to him. I don’t think Griffin is a bad coach at all. Had to coach the Broncos in the post Lockyer era. Did most of the hard work before Bennett came back and had a good record at Penrith.

I think Griffin is an excellent appointment. The fact that he was still available while absolute flogs like Nathan Brown, Trent Barrett and potentially Kevvie Walters (lol@broncos) get snapped up is just beyond me.

 

[Perth Red]

He deserves another shot at the big time.

I think he's a really good appointment for the Dragons.

He has his doubters but I rated his time with us at Penrith. Developed a strong work ethic and strong squad culture.

The handful of players who didnt like him are no longer with Penrith, despite him being sacked.

Three finals in three years and his winning percentage says he can coach.

Great to see Griffin back on his feet. A worthy choice out of the other coaches who were considered. Got a good coach here Dragons fans.

yep.
Better grab seibold before someone else snaps him up

 

[GongPanther]

Here it is people. Here's that post about Penrith you were looking for in this thread.

Because his last coaching job was....in Penrith?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Deserves another chance to fail miserably.

Griff is a boomer from Rocky

Actually a Gen X, not that it matters.

Griff is a boomer from Rocky, this shouldn't surprise anyone.

He won't get his contract renewed, but this is the dragons we're talking about who extended McGregor five games into a season.

That he is.

Game plans will be written on drink coasters too.

Now who can forget those pressers. Riverting stuff.

Paranoia will be the new cool aid for the gong........remember injuries aren't real injuries if you don't tell anyone about them.

(he stopped the fans and members getting injury reports from the club staffs)

You guys will probably love him.

I think he is quite a sensible choice and it is good that Dragons are going for someone with NRL experience this time around.

I'm not sure what the situation is with juniors are there, but St George definitely have several talented young players currently that will benefit. Let's just hope he doesn't find a Josh Hoffman favourite who he shoe horns into the side each week. Or try to recruit Hoffman himself.

Oh hey we thought you died...

Wishful thinking.
