The buck stops at the feet of the Chairman of the Board. He and his fellow Board members hire the coach and sign off on most contracts.SMH saying Sloan asked release
clearly pissed and doesn’t see his future here
probably plenty of others Sua lawrie etc
not a good sign future or even 2023
clubs a joke and we r fxxxxxd
Hook needs to go , but won’t happen
All of Penrith players are coached to perfection in attack and defence right across the whole of the club's grades. They have been able to have the right coaches and conditioners employed at the club since Hook's departure and have worked to streamline all facets of the game to suit most situations. They just know what to do and get the players in tip top condition for the full season.Sloan should model his defense on that of Dylan Edwards at the Panthers before demanding a first-grade spot.

It takes a lot of hard work and thought and effort to make the club successful from the top to the bottom. Most of these players have been developed to achieve a winning formula.
Getting players here, there and everywhere just doesn't cut the mustard. Building a team with the right players with the right attitude and abilities is all it takes.
We have not built a strong enough foundation on which to build solid teams in all our grades and unless there is this desire from the heavies at the club we cannot erect anything on those foundations. It has to start sometime and will take a few years so I hope that will happen.
I think the moneyball policy that the Dragons used was not a bad idea as a transitional & cultural changeover, aligned with Pathways. The problem is injuries/suspensions at the wrong time and a coach who didn't have the guts to implement it and pick the young players over the journeymen. Playing favourites with has beens also hasn't helped thingsSadly Dave we have become an amateur run n administered Club living off former glory days
The way we are managed we cant match it with the likes of Penrith , Roosters , Melbourne etc etc
Penrith have won all four NSW trophies and systems are in place through out the Club
Like for like replacements who know their role without fuss or bother
What do we do ?????? We pick any nomads , journeyman , retirees that come on the market without thought or purpose
A complete over haul is required but am fearing its all too late
So you would think that after so many failed seasons in recent years, why would we return to the well of untried old boys for head coach:All of Penrith players are coached to perfection in attack and defence right across the whole of the club's grades.

All per Aaron Woods, Dragons Media Liaison Officer.The ‘phenomenal’ pre-season signs Tyrell Sloan will be key to Dragons’ success this year

So far Woodsy is doing a great job in his new role. I'm not sure how he will go in his actual role on the field!All per Aaron Woods, Dragons Media Liaison Officer.
Kudos to him.Mentally stronger Sloan ready to take opportunity
Tyrell Sloan walked into All Stars camp on Saturday with a vastly different mentality to when he made his debut for the Indigenous side 12 months ago.www.nrl.com
“That’s where people get it twisted, they think it’s Cody Ramsey v Sloan but we’re a team together.”
"He’s in my corner and I’m in his corner."
You love to see it. It really seems like he has matured a lot since last year.
I wonder if he would have felt all this love from Hook , and felt like he is now if Ramsey had not got injured ..... Hopefully he has a breakout season ......Kudos to him.
Hopefully for him & us he has a very good career.
