Shane Flanagan's tenure at the Dragons is set to be cut short, with Monday shaping as the day the axe falls. 

The club is set to convene an emergency press conference in Wollongong Monday morning, though The Daily Telegraph has reported that Flanagan's future has already been made behind closed doors.

Club football boss Ben Haran is also understood to be heading for the exit alongside him.

The writing has appeared on the wall after Flanagan sat down with the Dragons chairman Andrew Lancaster on Sunday, following the club's capitulation to an 11th consecutive defeat stretching back to last season.

Chairman Lancaster and CEO Tim Watsford will front the media as speculation over the coaching position has been one of the biggest talking points this season.

He is set to join Anthony Seibold as the second coaching casualty of the season, after Manly showed him the door just after three games into the season.

The Dragons will play the Roosters on Saturday before their bye in round 9.

Whether Flanagan will be allowed to coach the team one last time in the ANZAC Day showdown against the Roosters remains unclear.
