An emotional Paul McGregor says being stripped of his ability to pick his own team was a huge factor in his decision to walk away as Dragons coach | app85
The club's board implemented a selection panel including assistants Young and Shane Flanagan for team selections after they slumped to a humiliating defeat against the Bulldogs earlier this year.
"But I think the coach should get the final say on who is getting selected in the team. You have a coaching team and you need to lean on them. There should be hard conversation around that, but the coach selects the team."And then the other thing was around the question of, 'are we replacing anyone in our squad?'. We had lost players and hadn't signed them. I wanted to know where I was going with recruitment and retention going forward.
"It depends on how you define success. If you've got someone who is emotionally connected to the club, who just puts in ridiculous hours with his work ethic and his passion for the place and you want someone leading your club, I think he ticks all those boxes.
