The NRL’s most accomplished coach won a premiership with the Dragons in 2010, and a poor start to the season has heaped pressure on current mentor Paul McGregor, who has held the reins for six seasons for minimal success.

However, speaking on Fox League on Wednesday night, Flanagan said he couldn’t see the Dragons considering a coaching change now in the middle of the coronavirus shutdown.

“I’d be very surprised. The club is 100 per cent behind Paul McGregor, he’s doing a really good job. We didn’t get off to a great start but who knows what the rest of the season holds,” he said.

“The club is really united and working really hard from top to bottom and I’d be really surprised if that was on the club’s agenda, especially at the moment.

“We’re all working hard and he’s working harder than everyone else and to think that they’re going to have a coach change in this period of time is way off the mark.”

Although Bennett is contracted until the end of 2021, the Rabbitohs have named his successor in Jason Demetriou, meaning his time at the club will come to an end next season.

The 70-year-old has not ruled out retirement, but has previously spoken of his desire to continue coaching at an NRL level.

Meanwhile, the Dragons will lose representative star Tyson Frizell to Newcastle next season and Flanagan said the club will struggle to find a replacement.

“The trouble with at the moment, we’re in a holding pattern,” he said.

Wayne Bennett’s tenure with the. Even Flanno is saying Mary is doing a great job ..... Sickening in saying that Flanno knows that if Bennett does come he is no chance of coaching , so by saying Mary is doing a good job ( don't know how ) he is a chance of taking over ....

Yeah
But I think Flanno’ll walk into a coaching job anywhere, whenever he wants
- no problem

Working with our Board would be the other elephant in the room for any coach

- so their stupidity is the other great disincentive for elite players or coaches considering coming to our Club.

But Bennett marginalised the fuc/kwits

- & when Doust tried to reassert authority they lost him & the next decade ( & counting)

Interesting how they are interviewing and speculating about 'changes' to the coaching ranks at the Dragons. Yet, nothing from Mc85 himself. Head on the sand? Avoidance? No interest? Hiding under the blanket?
However, I am waiting for the new CEO to spruek how the club is 100% behind Mc85, he's working hard etc etc. Standard script that we have heard before, even from Flanno.
I'm thinking May 28 (if it gets off the ground then) wont he a date that Mc85 is looking forward to.

Hmmm
Strange how McLost-in-Space
hasn’t been able to crack an interview with Daley or Gould at least

- or a classic cringeworthy excuse-laden puff piece with FOX

Maybe it’s ‘man overboard’
& ‘abandon ship’

OR

Hey there new CEO Ryan Webb.

It’s been 12 days since you took over - time enough to have sacked the Waterboy and moved the Club forward?

We do fear you’re just another impotent Old Boys’ puppet who’ll kowtow & simper at the Boardroom trough

Have you heard of Frank Facer?
Big shoes you’re fillin’

R U up for it?
Or will The Hill have to send you packing too?

Especially after your anaemic comment about giving the Waterboy more time, after 7 fu/cking years, to ‘prove’ himself?

Step up man
or get the fu/ckin outa there

You’ve got days, not weeks, to save 2020 from being another humiliation.

Don’t you believe Tyson & The Fans?

Speak up
The last fuc/kwit was mute

He does work hard that great coach of ours. What could possibly he be working hard at...at the monent. Games plans for our next game V ?. Is he still reviewing Round 1 & 2 over and over trying to work out where and how we lost it and still who to blame and single out in the next press conference. Or is he watching the 9's over and over and the 85 min game from a GF thinking.."see.. I just about had my hands on a trophy..I did".
I hear he still has not spoken to LAM since that game after he chucked the pen down after the one on one strip. Mind boggles!
I suppose we are lucky our DNA and culture is a hard working one...successful..maybe another time.
All the NRL coaches work hard. Why not McGregor given the coin he's on?
The simple fact is that hard work is no substitute for aptitude.
McGregor was unqualified to be an NRL coach from day one. Bennett and Demetriou both gave us the hint.
The club was entitled to give him a go but 2 extensions and 7 years of amateur hour coaching?
Shouldn't have happened but did.
We have been in a vacuum ever since.

They have all been saying the same thing for 7 years regardless of results and regardless of what happens off the field.
The reason is that a lot of people will be left with egg on their faces if the McGregor bandwagon finally derails.
Club officials and media pals will lose any remaining credibility and someone will have to be blamed for the worse stint in the club's illustrious history..
So when the dust settles, one thing cannot be spin doctored or explained away and that is the results.

Yeah but our Boardroom is a stat-free zone obviously
Couldn’t count the beers on the table

Certainly blind to these numbers:
11,8,11,11,7,15,13

And very sensitive about division, percentages & averages the doorman reckons

Can’t quite get 4:heavy_division_sign:22:heavy_multiplication_x:100

Banjo,
You can write anything you want on this thread, as long as you write, Sack McGregor at the end of it.
