Sack mcgregor

[St Georgio]

I'd be backing that Cleary might be appointed Director of coaching in 2016 and will mould his systems and structure into the organization. A lot will play out over the off season and I reckon Mary will resign to peruse business interests, thereby avoid being sacked and Cleary will be Head Coach by kick off 2017. Just my gut feeling that this situation will play out with plenty of spin to avoid damaged egos and poor decision making.

I hope your correct because just keeping Mary on to save face is ridiculous, we all know he was a fantastic player (illawarra legand), but extremely 1 dimensional when it come's to coaching. I personally gave something a go and screwed up..I moved on from it didn't kill me..it felt pretty bad..but that's life..same for McGregor time to move on.

Normally a director of coaching would be someone with vast experience that can mentor a 'new' coach.. For example Gus Gould or a Brisn Smith/Tim Sheens etc.

For me Ivan Cleary doesn't fit that bill.. Would it be a way of getting him into the club for the next year to put his own mark on it before becoming coach in 2018?

So finally it's being reported by the Mole in RLW today that the Dragons are interested in appointing Ivan Cleary as Director of Coaching for 2017. He claims Cleary would be in charge of both coaches and players & Mary would remain under a new structure. Also states recruitment will be totally restructured after failing to miss out on some targeted signings.
Although it's only small steps.......at least it's a much needed and warranted change. Just hope Tony Adams is right with his story.

Mole recycles his stories from RLW because hardly anyone reads the mag these days. This story is from Thursday. Plus the story was raised over a week ago by a number of other people in the media, so nothing has changed.

As stated by ourCEO, there will be a review at the end of the season. There won't be any announcements until after this has finished. It could be October, November or December before anything happens from this 'review', so be patient people.

The whole director of coaching theme is crap.
How is it that the U/20's and the Cutters who are going along pretty damned well and playing attractive footy need to be institutionalised due to the fact that the first grade crew of Mc Gregor, Young and Hornby are all duds?
The club must stop all this crap and make the hard but correct decision of dumping them instead of trying to rescue these blokes and further add to our outgoing costs by employing a director of coaching.
If the BOD insist on employing a coaching director then the BOD should all take a corresponding pay cut to afford it.

Sure as hell hope not.

IMO, nothing should save McGregor from getting sacked. If we win every game this year, it's not enough. The season, and Mary's NRL coaching career to date, has been a failure. He has failed to get anything close to the best out of this team, he has failed to utilise those around him to increase or develop his own skillset, he has failed to properly develop young talent and increase the skillset of the players, he has failed to show any professionalism in his actions or words at any point throughout the season. HIs employment, and retention for 2017, are an embarrassment to the fans and the club.

exactly right nothing should save mcgregor
these have been my sentiments as well,it seems though we have one good game everyone forgets about the no1 priority
getting rid of mcgregor
and doust

What a joke he still keeps playing benji by by mary and benji shit hopeless not up to nrl standards how does the club still go on and say no change mary will be coach next year.It shows they dont play for there coach what a disgrace.

 

[FlameThrower]

Sucked in last week and now back to normal...I can't understand how the Club can think and accept this is the what the fans want...
Young, Hornby, Mary all be gone....

I don't forget, but I've taken full advantage of what little joy the team has given me this year.

This performance today has done me. The presser post game just has to contain the phrase "I'm standing down effective immediately" or "I've been terminated effective immediately".

How can a team playing for the slimmest chance of a spot in the 8 serve up this? And it's not the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th time they've played for something and not delivered THIS year!

Warren Smith still cracking jokes on Foxsports. Now reckons last week's 17 have been abducted by aliens and replaced by this 17.

Just fuming.

Sack McGregor.

 

[Daniel Bartolo]

Master stroke put Leila on with 18 to go they have to sack mcgregor

 

[possm]

What a bunch of fools we have on the Board. Time to get serious, do your job and sack Mary and Doust.

 

[monsterkev]

now your starting to get the picture
1 win doesnt bring a premiership or any satisfaction to fans
get back on the sack mary horse now and keep it going

 

[OzDragon]

f**k it. It's pitchfork and torch time.

 

[RedVDragon]

Go Mary go leave now take Rein with you

 

[Emu01]

Surely this is the end for Mary! The team are clearly not playing for him.

 

[Lethal25]

It's like someone has gone out and collected all the steaming turds they could find and put them in a massive bag, they then found a turbo fan and released the steamers via the fan over every dragons supporter!

 

[St Georgio]

I new way back in round 3 after being flogged by the Sharks that Paul McGregor wasn't the man for our team our club, I created a new thread NEW COACH PLEASE, this flogging today smells very much like when Steve Price was given the tap, we were smashed in consecutive weeks by the eels and the grubs surely he has been given the tap already.

 

[Daniel Bartolo]

I know it it won't happen. MacGregor takes the blame and quits at the press conference

 

[1st & 10]

He will not quite. Too arrogant and thinks he is not accountable .

Then you have Doust, double the arrogance

"jobs for the boys" culture is also hurting - looking at Young/Hornby etc etc
