Interim Coach Dean Young

[JamesRustle]

Been here, done this... will be embarrassing if he's appointed interim coach twice without getting the head coaching role.

What a bad look for the club and board today... sack coach without being able to name interim... at least the board are showing everyone that they are a massive part of the problem.

they had little choice at this stage. Bennett rates him so see how he goes I guess.

Bennett also rated Henjak, Stone & Price.

What are they up to these days?

Remember our wager if he doesn't get the permanent gig? I'm getting your house keys.

All starts tomorrow.

I think the noise around training being cancelled is bull. I'm sure if you go to the training facility at the Uni tomorrow, they will be there.

Will Reid get a jersey and Kyle be dropped (at least to the bench utility role)?

Most importantly here though, and in all fairness to Deano, the playing group as a whole now have to pull their fingers out and start performing.

Apparently the “cancelled training” is all bull - well at least from a negative viewpoint.

I heard Tim Watsford interviewed on 2GB tonight - Monday - about the overall “parting ways” issue.
Around 6pm ish.
He said the plan had always been for the team to spend Friday in camp, prior to the Anzac Day game.
I assume that meant the players would remain in camp for the Friday night.
As such, he said, part of that plan was to give the players the day off on Tuesday.
So yes, training had been “cancelled” for Tuesday, but due to the planned camp.

Didn't he also rate Demetriou?

Interesting times ahead…
Personally I would have liked Talau to have got the interim job. Knows the cup players best and would know which kids fit better into the holes in our roster atm, but on the flip side Dean will be judged on his results for the rest of this season as part of his application for the full time gig, so the balls in his court.
Team list Tuesday tomorrow will be interesting to see if he makes the changes necessary or keep going along the suicidal path….
As a lifetime dragons fan (50 years) it’s sad to see us in this situation again, but with Haran getting the arse aswell, maybe some of the changes needed behind the scenes are unfolding in the right direction, only time will tell.
Hopefully the team he picks is
1. Sloan
2. Fale
3. Holmes (last chance, and switching back to his usual side)
4. Feigai (not my favorite but was solid last week)
5. Tu
6. Atkinson
7. Reed
13. Stewart
12. Couchman
11. Leilua
10. Couchman
9. Cook (if Liddle injured)
8. Sele (Guler)
14. Kyle
15. LPT
16. Kerr (last chance, dolphins effort or F off)
17. Halangahu
18. Lawrie
19. Bucky or LKT

Reed has to play if we are any chance of competing as our halves have offered Jack shit all season, idc if he is 50kg’s wringing wet and young, he either has it or he doesn’t, but we won’t know if we don’t give it a crack. Couldn’t be any worse than what we have dished up so far.
All I want to see is effort and pride in the jersey. Some, mainly the young kids have shown it all year. It’s the experienced players that have let us down which has been very disappointing.
Hopefully rock bottom has been reached
