38/6 final score,Glover outstanding
Now 7 wins in a row. Outstanding results thanks to good team work and great coaching by Willie Talau. I think Willie also helps with a bit of coaching of the NRL side. I think he would do very well in Super League and then come back and be coaching the Dragons first grade side one day.

Willie has done well with the Dragons Jersey Flegg squad starting in 2019 and now the KOE Cup squad. Out of our coaches, I think that he has had better results than the other coaches we have had and have now.

Because of his Samoan background and his playing days as a centre, he could attract the big fast guys that we have craved for. I think he is a well respected coach and I would love him to be our NRL Head Coach.

possm, you're an f'd up old geezer.
I agree.
Next year.
Cook retires. Kyle to bench hooker.
Glover and King playing behind a young pack. The Coachmen, Tsougee, Pacificka, Stewart, Egan, Halangalu et all.
Backs coming through too...
We have Atkinson (that is) coming next year.

If the powers to be decide to move Flanagan on and if we are to appoint from within Talau is the man for the job not under any circumstances Dean Young
Despite the rubbish posted on here Dean Young will do well
Bellamy rates him and he is part of the origin coaching team
So it will be Dean as HC and Talau or Hornby as his assistant
Dean is liked by managers and will attract players
The only other option to be considered is Willie Peters

lol. You literally are so brainwashed by the same people you criticise that you think he’d be a good option. What credentials does DY have that will make him a good coach? Tell me what he’s done in the game that will make him a good HC

I dont understand why Dean Young doesnt go and coach a reserve grade side for 2yrs.. or in the UK.. just any head coaching, feel like a resume being all assistant coaching gigs is disingenuous.

Obviously it's the safest path because you never sit in the hot-seat.. i.e. there is no risk of failure...... but I don't think you are doing your future prospects any favours... you generally only get 1 crack at the NRL.. so go and make your mistakes in lower grades first... learn to manage a squad and a club... out of the spotlight... then you can apply for literally the hardest gig in rugby league.

Like Dean Young, Mary was also appointed part of a state-of-origin coaching team. This is nothing, ex-players giving a colleague a job opportunity.

Relevant facts we can point to are:
1. Dean Young's efforts in lower-grade coaching yielded low results.
2. Dean Young's efforts as a defensive coach under Mary and Griffin achieved poor results.
3. Dean Young's efforts as the Cowboys' defensive coach were not of note.
4. Dean Young's effort as a defensive coach under Flannagan has been very poor.

Nepotism rarely is the right path to follow.
