How does firing three unnamed staff members demonstrate the board identified the problem and fixed it?

I can only imaging these three people where responsible for:
1.Game strategy/plan
2. Team selection
3. Interchange management.

The only change out of tonight will be one the assistants pushed aside for Barrett.
Most NRL coaches these days except for a few sides have an experienced reggies coach assistant or ex NRL coach beside them. The Dragons realise this is what Mary needs..or something similar

The gravy train is getting wobbly. We will not look to the Chief Engineer for an explanation but rather look at changing the ticket seller. We will make sure the new ticket seller is well aware of our policy of only selling tickets to locals.

Souths will do us - by a lot
Widdup will throw more hospital passes like he did in the first few rounds.
Nothing will change.

Glass half full.
2 and a bit years until Mary's gone.
2 and a bit years until I spend another cent on ANYTHING Dragons

Tell that to the sponsors food vendors and season ticket money taking people
and
If everybody done that - They might see the power of the supporters

Widdop at least throws passes and tries something when he plays. I have never seen a more disinterested and lazy ‘playmaker’ as I saw with Norman last week. We actually need to lose this week....I never thought I’d EVER say that. Otherwise the past injuries excuse will be pushed so hard by the media and the Club.

Was anyone seriously expecting an announcement yesterday? Seriously!

This "review" will carry on for months. We may get the occassional dribble like "the review is complex, but we have appointed former Dragon Trent Barrett to the coaching ranks", but I don't expect anything of substance, or anything that will appease us fans. We have a game on Friday evening, I'm guessing the Board is hoping for a miracle win which would be enough to say "our season is moving forward, the players are right behind Mary".

This game on Friday is becoming a double edged sword.

Yes mate, l feel the same way.

We've all suffered bigtime this season and with this year all but offically gone, like last season when we beat the broncos in the semi, if we win this week, the media will pardon McGregor for all you said.

If we get smacked, the chances of McGregor being marched, even with our soft board, must increase, not the least, the scrutiny from the media and sponsors.

Fair comment there, mate.
Gould hit the nail on the head.
Why does the whole club have to be exposed to the DeBelin saga?
Why would the coach build expectations around DeBelin winning a subjective legal battle?
Consider DeBelin only and if he becomes available to play.
Even then there would be an argument to bring him back through reserve grade.
The disruption that's put forward as a rationalization of our failure to perform, was created by the way McGregor and the club has handled this mess.
