The Rumours Thread

I’d take Donald Trump at this moment.

I have heard it's going to be Nathan Brown taking over from Paul McGregor.

That’s a better solution than Dean Young as an inexperienced interim coach. Hope you are right Crush!

It true I can live with that

Would also prefer that to Dean young...but Young is in the frame...

 

[redv13]

I’m not sure why the love for Browny is a little frosty on here. Under his coaching our style of play was always good to watch, young kids were given a good crack in their right position and we were always competitive.
What more can you ask for on a week to week basis??

A Decent coach..and at this stage I'd take anyone....Ronald mcDonald would do a better job.

 

[Dragon Revival]

I believe that the Club is in such a mess that McGregor should be sacked after today's game and Brown installed for the next 18 months. If he does well he could be reappointed for another two year's. Hopefully
Brown has grown wiser and will at least have his 50% success rate as opposed to Mc Gregor's 46% success rate. If this move is not made the Dragons will probably never recover due to the unrest of the current playing roster
and the need to recruit quality players which is difficult if a struggling coach can not sign and resign competent players. A success rate of 28% for 2019 and 0% for 2020 should not be tolerated by the Joint Venture Board.

I think Young is odds-on tbh.

I think Young is odds-on tbh.

That's what I was told....BUT...things change....Young would be a cheap stop gap option....only problem being they would probably keep him on....If they want an old boy...I'd go for Fitzgibbon....Offer him a good contract...unfortunately can't see that happening.

 

[RedVee]

Brown would be great for rebuilding the team then getting out, just like at Newcastle. He’d have to work on getting respect back to start with.

He should really take over Basils pathways role - or at least have that role report to him.

ultimately though I’d want a coach Bennett / Fitzgibbon / someone! With Brown running the player production line.

Agree.
Having Young as 'interim' has some ramifications and the great 'what if' comes into play.

What if we start winning games under Young and play good footy?
What if we dont? Do we replace the replacee and who with, considering they would be deemed as second choice?

I think it's he just has a few old habits that have yet to die. His team always starts off very slowly, his obsession with turning flashy players into 5/8's. But I would take him back short term outside of Paul Langmack I'd take pretty much anyone over our current peanut.

Brownie with Flanno as assistant is a lot better than what we have.

 

[Dragons 09]

No, just NO to any old boy. No Brown, no Young, no Barrett, no Ryles, no Fitsgibbon, no Hornby, no Head, no more freaking inbred's whatsoever. The only bloke to win us a premiership in the last 50 years was an outsider who did things his way, surely that tells us something. We need a clean slate and an experienced outsider who is not a puppet to the trough dwelling numpties. Anything less and and we effectively have Craig Young, Andrew Gordon and the likes calling the shots.....we know how that ends, why the f**kc would we go there again!

 

[Gomarchin]

Anyone who thinks Brown or Barrett should take over only need to look at Manly and Newcastle.

Both teams have gone to the next level under experienced coaches.

We need an experienced outsider to take over. Period the end.

We haven't had any success since Bennett left, so aren't we due?? Taking an old boy now is just doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result.

Definition of Dragons management.

Careful what you wish for.

Newcastle has a rookie coach yeah?

Make St George great again does have a nice ring to it.

 

[TomRedVRiver]

Adam O'Brien is showing up Browny right now.

Brown is not the answer. I'd be willing to invest in Wane or Fitzgibbon.
