The Rumours Thread

He’s been proactive until someone comes in and questions the board. Then it’s refusal to listen and a complete shut down of any suggestions someone might have. Seen in this Richardson case.

Sorry we don’t know that. You may be correct, but we don’t actually know.

I’ll see what happens with this whole process.

I agree & he might be a nice bloke, but he’s a lightweight in NRL club land. Unfortunately, he’s part of the problem & not the solution.
Dragons need a GM of Football with credibility, leadership and a reputation. I personally don’t want to see Flanagan anywhere near our joint. He’s had 2 chances & that’s it.
The Bulldogs have Gus & what a difference he’s made to that struggling club.
I can’t see us landing Richo & he’s already been to 3 NRL clubs plus 1 ESL, so he’s a mover.
I would love to see the club offer Mark Coyne the role as GM of Football. Smart man and would nail dealing with Media, Players, Managers and Coaches.
He was formerly the Team Manager for QLD Origin, an ARL Commissioner and reached the levels of CEO and Board member in the business world.
Apparently, he knocked back the CEO role a few years ago, but maybe worth a shot.
Pair him with Brownie whom should be Recruitment & Pathways Manager.
Haran & Millward should be moved sideways…….

Mark Coyne from memory earns far too much to take a role in rugby league

He also had a scandal last time he came back to help us and I think the ARLC?

He may be a bit shy to get back into the public eye

So did Phil Gould, but sometimes a passion or desire may create an interest to try a new role with a challenge.

Baggy

..you got me.

I frick..n hope so. He is the main one that has failed the club and leading in all facets of football operations and I mean ALL. This includes having control and hand in media, recruitment and the list goes on. If the players respected him then BBQ gate would not of happened. It was not all about Griffo
Lets look no furthur how we have gone downhill in many areas since this job was created for him 3-4 years ago

If Haran was responsible for the players speaking to the media on the day the coach was sacked, he should be the next to go.

Basically Richardson is saying Lancaster didn't like that he was telling it how it is and what it would take to turn things around. Therefore this won't be happening, because Richardson would have presented ideas that were threats to the board. These self serving twats strike again. Someone that would be great for supporting Ryles won't be there so that the board isn't threatened. Typical.. instead let's have a GM of football who doesn't know football and hope it magically works. This situation is akin to Gould's review when the board didn't want a bar of the suggestions made because they threatened them, the board. f**k off you incompetent pricks, sign the bloke up and get out of the way

We are one spot from rock bottom. If no changes are made, we will stay there.

No players will come, crowds will stay the same, diehards only and the sponsors that are supporters will stop.

What I don't get is why they don't want any bar of change. If they set the club up, they can sit back, slap each other's shoulders.

Idk where else to post this but I feel like 2 blokes we should be going for are Connor Tracey and Shawn Blore. Have no idea how they don't make firsts tbh

We could be last after this weekend if the Dogs beat the Titans SEAT 1A.

 

[TheRev]

I will wet myself if we actually get into a situation that we can pick and choose decent players to come into our system.. instead of literal outcasts/dregs that other teams dont want..

Was just saying in another post, we have 2 spots for 2023 yet, and really we want the new coach to have some input there I think.. cause will be part of next years squad.

 

[Dragon David]

I know this isn't the thread to post this as I could not be bothered looking it up, but I'm sure that most can remember Tyson Frizell slightly touching the ref while turning around after making a tackle and he was suspended for a week. Well what is the difference with the Penrith favourite who might be selected for Origin 1, Jarome Luai, touching the sideline official the other day and copping a fine and not a suspension. I'm sure if Origin isn't being played in a few weeks time he would have been suspended.

David I think he copped 2 weeks from memory.

We are now officially last lmao

Just in a few days. How things turn. The Titans players need upper cuts. They played bad in the last 10 minutes and Burtons bombs and kicj=ks fooled them all. That Pommy hooker started the rot when he knocked on and gave possession to the Dogs and then Titan's gave away a penalty and it was basically all over red rover when the Dogs scored in the last couple of minutes.

Next week the Tigers and Bulldogs get two points each while we battle away against the Dolphins.

Good. The only way now is up.

That's even worse still Nana.

Sad, but true. In the "what if" category, but if the dragons had won half of the games that were lost by 2 points or less, the they would be in the top 8! Thankfully there are still a lot of games to play.

Not just top 8. Possibly even 1st (if they'd won them all).

The truth however is that, win or lose, the dragons still played like crap in most if not all of those games!

Hi Nana

No, Tyson only got a week -

Frizell banned for referee contact

St George Illawarra star Tyson Frizell will serve a one-match suspension after being found guilty at the NRL...
