Dragons at risk of throwing NRL season away: Mbye

Moses Mbye has conceded St George Illawarra are at risk of throwing away their NRL season, with the team at a crossroads and coach Anthony Griffin's job under threat.Griffin's future remains the hottest topic in the NRL, after the Dragons capitulated for a second straight week when beaten 40-8 by Cronulla on Sunday night.That performance came days after Dragons players learned their off-contract coach had been told the club was considering its options for next year.Questions have been asked about the club's decision to extend Griffin's contract in February last year through to the end of 2023, after they missed the finals in his first year and before they finished outside the eight again last season.The chief concern is that if Griffin is sacked in the opening months of this season, 2023 would immediately become a wasted year."We get to make that decision, if it's going to be a throwaway year or not," Mbye said ahead of Saturday's clash with the Dolphins."It's got to start this week. It is only early, we're only going into round five."But we are at a crossroads, you need to win more games than you lose to be in the mix come September."We are at a crossroads and this week we need to make a decision as a group what way we want to go, and that's just the reality of it."The hooking utility has previously played in teams with coaches under pressure at Canterbury and Wests Tigers, and most Dragons players have been in a similar situation before."Players are pretty resilient to that talk now. It's so common," Mbye said.
