"IN WANE WE TRUST" ................ Shaun Wane that is.

[Dragsters]

There's a group of us Dragons tragics who agree we need a fresh start, a proper career coach with a record that speaks for itself, a clean slate, not a reject coach from another NRL club and we all agree that Shaun Wane is the man to resurrect this once great club.

3 time premiership winner.

68% Win record.

Its a yes from me .....

Its a yes from me

My preference is 1) Bennet, 2) Fitzgibbon and 3) Wane.

Wane is a solid choice who has developed a winning culture and has the strength of character to deal with the blow torch that comes with being Dragon's coach. I don't think Green, Flanagan or Griffin will be able to cope with the level of expectation and pressure.

We cannot put Dean Young into the role and crucify another club legend who is not ready for a head coach position.

We need a head coach that players are going to want to play for and who can bring out their best, we need to recruit two or three key players and need a coach that will encourage good or even hopefully great players to join a club coming 14th and I reckon Wane will attract players who have grit and determination or who need their potential exploited.

 

[Reddragon]

Wane or Fitzgibbon for me.

 

[Dragonslayer]

Wane definitely.

No To Fitzgibbon he IS another Rookie with no Headcoach experience.

If we can get an experienced coach and put some wins together and get our culture back in order we will then attract some players who want to win a premier ship.

JAMES HOOPER - "Who will be the new Red V head coach? It definitely won’t be Shane Flanagan. The NRL will not alter his penalty.

There’s nothing wrong with the St George Illawarra roster – it’s a list which should be playing finals football.

The Dragons will throw the inbox open for applications and then begin the process of sifting through CV’s.

If Dean Young goes well over the final six weeks of the season then the club champion can state a strong case.

Provided the Dragons get their next coaching appointment right, another premiership is not beyond the realms of possibility.'' (Shaun Wane)

 

[Gareth67]

Does anyone know if Shaun Wane is actually available - is he in the discussions ?

 

[Gippsy]

I think the dream appointment would be Bennett as head coach for 2 years with Fitzgibbon as his assistant and successor.

In Wa.ne we trust

He’s not available. He wants to honour his England deal and has aspirations to beat Australia. Hopefully Australia plays England ASAP, they absolutely whack us then he signs with us. Realistically he’s unlikely but stranger things have happened. COVID may help strangely.

Yes there is something wrong with our roster sorry James. Like we don't have enough big forwards who have ability in all facets of the game. And James we don't have the backs to compete enough said.

Tough, smart and in the Bellamy mould- I'd take him- but then again I can also see arguments for someone like Anthony Griffin or Craig Fitzgibbon- untried at Head Coach but rated the next supercoach by people in the know.

 

[Dragsters]

He is and he wants to coach in the NRL and he has engaged a manager over here to act on his behalf.

Gareth, if you have some spare time, do yourself a favour and watch the YouTube link I posted and listen to the man for yourself. He is very frank indeed.

I'm sure he's in the mix.

We're all entitled to our opinions but ...expecting Bennett to be what he was to us more than ten years ago is unrealistic- his management of off field behavioural issues at Souths, their roster and now his COVID confusion and pathetic defence of his actions all speak to me of a guy who's out of touch and reached his use by date.

 

[Dragsters]

Mcgregor being punted may also help the chances of landing him...

Not sold on Griffin.

Fitzy would be a solid option but he has stated his intentions.

Time will tell if his position changes with the McGregor sacking...

If he wants to come here, then get it done but more than likely , if Young wins a few games as assistant coach DON"T be surprised what this board will do .......
