2026 Season

First game back for Leo, not good, but I rate Ciraldo as a coach and will get more out of him than AOB did. In the same way, KPP has vastly improved under Benji. That said, $820k still looks like well overs.

PS. Dogs really struggling without Critter. Hope he's fit for Origin.

Savage… lol
 
Seemed inevitable, and from his comments and demeanour, Flanno seemed to know he was gone with another loss.

I doubt they're going to get the same improvement at the Dragons as we've seen at Manly by shedding the coach.

Their list is a mess, and that's on the board, which is really what the sacking is about: taking the pressure off them. I hope the Dragons fans keep their focus on the board that has led them to this disaster.

Dragons' Chairman is throwing everyone under the bus....except the board.

Dragons take aim at 'personal agendas' in the media as coach shown the door

Shane Flanagan and the St George Illawarra Dragons part ways after a winless start to 2026 extends an 11-game losing streak dating back to last August.

I know we shouldn't be smug coming off a spoon and two significant losses, but it could be a lot worse. The Dragons are looking like the new Tigers. A complete basketcase, stuck at the bottom, with anyone, any good desperate to get out.
 
in defense of the people picking at the board they’re the ones who signed off on it before being sold a lemon by Flanno despite being offered hopes and dreams

Hard to say exactly but not everyone there loved the hire, understandably so
 
I saw Flanagan quoted as saying he can’t sack all 30 players so had to try and get them to improve. Not completely surprised he didn’t get the best out of them with that attitude!
