An NRL club is circling the St George Illawarra Dragons' head coach Shane Flanagan like a hungry shark eyeing its next prey.
Flanagan, who has steered the Dragons from the depths of the NRL ladder to within touching distance of the 2024 NRL Finals, may find himself on the receiving end of a tempting offer.
According to reports from Zero Tackle, a third party is looking to swoop in and lure Flanagan away from the Dragons' den.
Despite having two more seasons left on his contract until 2026, the whispers of a potential exit are growing louder.
The rumblings come at a time when the Dragons have been performing decently, but the powers-that-be feel a change in leadership could be the catalyst for a new era of success.
The club, whose identity remains shrouded in mystery and is definitely not the Wests Tigers, is ready to shake things up and believes Flanagan is the man for the job.
As the off-field drama unfolds, Flanagan's future hangs in the balance like a high ball in a tight game, with the lure of a fresh challenge beckoning like the smell of victory on a crisp winter afternoon.
Stay tuned for more twists and turns in this Rugby League soap opera.
