St George Illawarra has announced a contract extension for coach Anthony Griffin, bizarrely before a ball has even been kicked this year. Many sane rugby league pundits would have placed Griffin among the group of NRL coaches under pressure to perform or be sacked in 2022. The Dragons won four of their opening five games last season, but then won four of their next 19 to slide down the ladder and eventually finish 11th. Griffin's job was thought to be under threat, but the Red V have moved to end speculation early this year by activating a third season in his contract. The news ties Griffin to the gig until the end of 2023. Although everyone understands NRL contracts often aren't worth the paper they're written on. "We are heading in the right direction, and myself and all the great people at the club are determined to play our roles in bringing future success to the Dragons," Griffin said in a statement.
