Standout candidates are emerging for the Dragons, and the situation at the Storm is under scrutiny in the latest episode of the Loose Carry NRL Podcast.
The podcast recording took place immediately after the news of Shane Flanagan's exit from St George Illawarra was confirmed.
Joined by NRL legend Ryan Hoffman, the team analyzes Flanagan's departure and discusses potential successors for the coaching position.
Ben Hornby and Dean Young are identified as primary candidates for the role, but Hoffman emphasizes another key area the Dragons must address.
He stated, "I think the most important signing for the Dragons isn't necessarily the coach, it's their director of football."
Shifting focus to the Melbourne Storm, Hoffman provides insights into the troubling situation at the club.
Additionally, he discusses Jake Trbojevic's uncertain future, particularly with ongoing concussion issues at the forefront.
