St George Illawarra has extended the contract of coach Paul McGregor for a further two seasons.
McGregor's deal will keep him as coach of the Dragons until the end of the 2021 season.
"To have a good focus and purpose for the next two seasons is really comforting. To my extended family, in the players and staff, I feel very fortunate to be able to continue working with such quality people," McGregor told dragons.com.au.
"The enjoyment I get out of coaching this proud club is something I look forward to every day.
"There is still a real appreciation of what 2019 is to bring too. My players are always my first priority and their needs come before anything else.
"There have been positive signs already. Team cohesion is strong and performance is spirited. We've had our challenges with the draw's scheduling but our game is growing and we keep improving which is the important part."
Ah well redv13 such is life.😂🤣😆😁😂😆🤣😂 Looks like no premiership for a further three season.🤪🥴🙃😝☺🥴. You blokes might get lucky in 2022.🎱🎱🎱🎱🎱
I agree with the above comment. There will be no Premiership while McGregor is coach of the Dragons. Let’s see how the Dragons go in their next 2 matches against Manly and the Roosters. Now the pressure is off McGregor so the standard of football may well drop like it did after State of Origin last year. What was the big rush in re-signing McGregor ?? Can anybody tell me ?
In my opinion management should have waited till at least round 12-13 which is the half way mark.
