Newly appointed Dragons coach Anthony Griffin has his sights set on Cowboys enforcer Josh McGuire for next season.
In less than a week since taking over from Paul McGregor, Griffin has wasted no time in his endeavours to rebuild the club.
Griffin revealed to Nineās chief rugby reporter, Danny Weidler, he had been eyeing off McGuire to āstrengthen the middle of the parkā.
NRL guru Phil Gould said he thinks the move is a ālikely scenarioā because the pair know each other well and are both from Rockhampton.
Weidler also said Griffin has started getting rid of coaching staff and with Dean Young on the move.
āShane Flanagan isnāt there anymore. Itās very likely that [Dean Young] wanted to look around, it might be good for his career,ā Gould said.
