A post-season review at St George Illawarra could claim battling coach Paul McGregor
St George Illawarra’s subpar season could claim coach Paul McGregor’s job with the Dragons to embark on a post-season review which is expected to end his time at the club.
St George Illawarra coach Paul McGregor could be one game away from being sacked as Dragons coach.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal that, despite a two-year contract extension earlier this year, officials are resigned to having to make the difficult call after a disastrous season.
Dragons chief executive Brian Johnston refused to guarantee McGregor’s future when contacted.
Johnston said there will be a review of the entire football department after their final game of the season against the Titans this weekend before the board will then make a decision on the coach.
“Nothing has changed,” Johnston said. “There will be no decision on any position until after the review.”
Sources have revealed McGregor was struggling to maintain support key powerbrokers before Sunday’s abysmal 42-14 loss to the Wests Tigers at the SCG.
They will finish the season in 15th position, ahead of only the Gold Coast Titans after being tipped as a top-four side and possible premiers earlier in the season. `It is their worst finish as a joint venture.
The Dragons have faced a massive social media backlash from their fans over the coaching position.
McGregor is rumoured to be on $600,000-a-season which would force the Dragons to pay out $1.2 million before signing a new coach.
Two names have been mentioned as possible replacements – Sydney Roosters assistant Craig Fitzgibbon and former Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan, who still has to be cleared.
McGregor could not be contacted for comment. He has coached the Dragons since 2014 when he took over from Steve Price.

Johnston and the Board must also take responsibility for their poor management of this issue. They extended Mary another two years early in the season for no apparent reason other than to say he is the best man for the job.6k In rupiah
I agree it's important that the Board now move swiftly and decisively so that the incoming coach has time to prepare for next year.Johnston and the Board must also take responsibility for their poor management of this issue. They extended Mary another two years early in the season for no apparent reason other than to say he is the best man for the job.
As I have said on many occasions before, deals were done and Mary's will be on his way; with over 1m in his pocket as a golden handshake.
On the bright side, we may be now able to hold onto some discontented players and get rid of some very poor performers.
There is no real reason to wait until after next week's game to start the review. Management can start it now so that the new coach can start the huge job of sorting this mess.
