The signing might be ok but if anything is just a little premature IMO.

All good to be wax lyrical about the games we won with him & Marshke in the halves minus Hunt but as we are now minus Marshke and Hunt we would know a lot more about K F's role in those wins.

What pressure were we actually under to be so quick to give him 2 more years?

If it's a condition we have to comply with to keep the coach then we have the wrong coach.

I’m ok with the extension, without investing in million dollars players in our half or hooker ie is ilias or Atkinson, cook or Liddle we lack some super stars but we still have quality and security in the halves, hooker and 14 for a number of years. Previously we tied up a lot of money in the halves. Now we can retain and recruit across the team better

The risk is will they stand up against the more esteemed players, I like the gamble and anticipate a good outcome.

It may not be a condition of retaining the coach but certainly won’t hurt.

The noise of nepotism will always exist with father and coach combos (unless you are Nathan Cleary) but I think if we do well the noise will fall on deaf ears.

I like this particular father and son combo. There’s generations of Dragon’s support behind their connection to the club. They’re both strong characters who show real resilience and commitment. Nobody can predict the future but I hope both father and son stay with us for a long time to come.
