Can’t go passed Griffin. I seriously can’t see how Dragons are going to win more than 4 games.

Needs a few games into the season (probably 3) before coaches will be on shaky ground.

Griffin but O'Brien and especially Holbrook can't continue to keep dishing up what they have been with the roster they have.

It's also the culture.. I wouldn't say Dragons is too bad I mean obviously besides the Amone thing, but Kalyn who is Newcastle's marquee player/captain is still up there carrying on like a spoilt brat.. it's not a good look on ohhhh O'brien

Kevvie is a dark horse. Just had his contract extended I think but that doesn't mean shit. The gronks expect results.

Who knows. The big issue is that there's seemingly few quality replacements if these three do get sacked. Every other option is a huge gamble. I still rate Ciraldo as something of a gamble still. Signs so far are promising. Many were prepared to think Barrett was the Messiah. So really the proof is in the pudding. We won't know for a while if he's got the nous to implement attacking structures that'll stand up for a season or more.

People who don't understand league thought Baz was anything more than just an assistant at best.

CC did in one game that Baz has never done. CC realised Skelton outside of the hog Topine was a mistake and moved him to the opposite centre position with instant results (try assist on his first touch).

Baz The fraud was too proud, or more likely, too fkn stupid, to fix his mistakes.

All 3 will be sacked this year.
O'Brien has at least improved their squad, that might save him, the Titans have some quality in their team too . . . Its just a matter of how many weeks until Griffin gets shown the Gryffindor

I think with all the noise around Ponga lots of pressure on the Knights. Can't see this ending well. Ponga may not aim to get the Coach sacked but I think that is what will happen.

Holbrook's got it tough up there at the Goldie. Can't imagine any coach doing good over an extended period for the Titans.

The one thing in Hook's favour is they were competing for the top 8 for most of last season, even with that shithouse squad.

Then we have O'Brien. Some of the shit he was saying last year was borderline insane and desperate. How he's still coach is a mystery. He's flipped and flopped with his halves and it doesn't look to be any better this year either. He was after Brooks FFS!

O'Brien is my certainty for being sacked this year... don't know of he'll be the first though.
