DRAGONS FED UP WITH NENE MACDONALD'S ATTITUDE
The likelihood of Dragons winger Nene Macdonald remaining at the club next year is diminishing at a rapid rate.

On contract in 2019, Macdonald is being shopped to rival clubs by St George-Illawarra management.

There is a suggestion from within the Red-V that McDonald's lack of discipline off the field has left him out of favour with club management.

PAUL MCGREGOR IS SAFE, BUT THE SAME CAN'T BE SAID FOR EVERYONE
Still at Saints, don't be shocked to see an overhaul of the club's coaching staff next year - but not head coach Paul McGregor.

It's related to assistant coaches Ben Hornby and Dean Young, who if the whispers are true, may be encouraged by management to pursue their coaching careers elsewhere in 2019.

I have been a Dragons suppporter for 40 years and have told my fellow dragon supporters in which I attend a few games a year, I will not attend another game until McGregor is gone.
If its true that McGregor is going to survive is bullshit, surely the reaction from the crowd last weekend and also radio callback shows and websites should show we are over it.
The new board is already starting to annoy me and show no respect to the clubs fans.

He'll survive this year and see out his final year. The big question is whether they renew his contract (AGAIN) after 6-7 rounds. No doubt, we'll start 2019 strong, he's manager will push for an extension (we made the finals in 2018 and look, we're in the top 4 again after 7 rounds), and get the standard 2 year extension. This would be the worst possible outcome but it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

Great summary .
I agree ford is one to look for next year but his time will be 2020 or 2021.
He only a kid has the right attitude and with another off season and 5kg he will be a weapon.
I can see what your saying re guys like radley .
They are the prototype 13 of the future.
Fast mobile with ball skills but still hit like a hammer

Of all the young forwards we have Ford seems to be the one who will make it. He is not ready yet but given time in ISP to learn his trade and develop physically he will be a keeper. What we dont seem to have coming through the juniors is a Paseka, Haas, style player. Maybe Eddie Blacker will fill the bill but I haven't seen him play so can only go on his reputation.

If you are selling a business you sell it to the high est bidder, but if you are selling half and going into partnership then you have to be very careful. The highest bidder is not always the best.

I have only seen a bit of Ford. He looks to be a good young footballer who will do well with a few extra kgs. We are currently well stocked for edge backrowers, so he will have to be good to force his way into the squad.

I can not believe that our management is going to let Mary coach another year. I am shaking my head in disbelief. If that is the case, then that will probably mean that Aitken and Lafai start the season off as our centres again. lol

so we are shopping nene around BUT still consider him to be our first grade winger surely this is where ISP players come in
And a clean out of coaching staff ?? Honestly what could Hornby and young bring to the table we need a good coach for isp 9 see ya matty ) and a good assisstant coach to sit next to mary in the box then worry about a defensive coach OH wait we had something similar with a chap that went by the name of JD and he was allowed to break his contract to sit at waynes side !!!!!!! And doesnt the coach pick all his helpers - so the buck stops at the top . the only way to keep mary is put somebody over the top and let mary be the stat man or similar - WHY OH WHY did we let JD go
