Major roster and cultural changes are required after Anthony Griffin’s underwhelming coaching tenure was brought to an end
t George Illawarra have sacked head coach Anthony Griffin after a dire two-and-a-half season tenure. It started with the tepid enthusiasm a recycled coach typically brings and ended with a long march to the inevitable, marked by bizarre selection decisions and mounting losses.
Griffin went 22-36 in his 58 games with St George Illawarra. Under his tutelage, the Dragons finished 11th and 10th and he leaves with the team anchored in 16th spot. In his first season in charge, the Dragons had their worst defensive season in their history, conceding 25.67 points per game. Defence is the biggest indicator of success and it did not get notably better with the Dragons conceding 23.7 in 2022 and 25.5 this year.
