The St George Illawarra Dragons made a significant move by re-signing head coach Shane Flanagan, aiming to improve the club's current struggles.
However, this extension may lead to substantial consequences for the Red V, disappointing many fans.
As reported by The Sydney Morning Herald, Dean Young, a former Dragons hooker and the club's assistant coach, possesses a get-out clause in his contract that could allow him to leave the team earlier than anticipated.
This clause can be activated should he receive an offer for a head coaching position.
With Flanagan committing to a longer tenure, Young's aspirations to lead the Dragons appear to be diminishing.
Johnathan Thurston, a North Queensland Cowboys icon, expressed his surprise at the club's decision to extend Flanagan's contract.
