Very Bad News: St George Illawarra Dragons head coach angry and announced resignation immediately…
Despite internal resistance, St George Illawarra Dragons sign controversial coach, Shane Flanagan, followed by his son, Kyle Flanagan, indicating a bold and forward-thinking strategy….
In a move that set tongues wagging in the rugby world, the St George Illawarra Dragons went against internal resistance and decided to sign the controversial coach, Shane Flanagan.
The joint-venture club faced opposition, surprisingly not due to Flanagan’s tumultuous past with the Cronulla Sharks involving the 2011 supplements scandal, but due to the potential prospect of his son, Kyle Flanagan, joining the fray.
The considered signing of the father-son duo had its origins rooted in the St George faction of the club, causing a stir.
Despite the internal concerns, in a bold move that underscored their commitment to the Flanagans, the Dragons went ahead and signed Shane Flanagan in June to a three-year contract.
This was followed by Kyle Flanagan’s signing in September for a two-year stint.
It was evident that there was no agreement in place to forestall Kyle’s recruitment alongside his father’s appointment as the head coach, casting a spotlight on the club’s audacious decision-making.
Shane Flanagan’s hiring was not free from expectations.
The coach, known for his aggressive coaching style, was expected to bring about a significant change in the Dragons’ playing style.
The article also puts forth Flanagan’s hopes for his son Kyle’s arrival at the Dragons to benefit Ben Hunt’s playing style, one of the key players in the team.
The addition of other players to the team and Flanagan’s expectations for the upcoming season also highlight the club’s ambitious plans.
The signing of Shane and Kyle Flanagan is a testament to the Dragons’ bold and forward-thinking strategy.
It is a move that has the potential to bring substantial change to the team’s dynamics.
However, it also carries the risk of upsetting the balance within the team.
The success of this venture will depend largely on how well the Flanagans adapt to the team and how effectively they can drive the Dragons to new heights in the coming season.
