Former St George Illawarra winger Wendell Sailor wasn't overly surprised by the axing of Zac Lomax on Tuesday.But he says the exile may not last long, given coach Anthony Griffin appears destined to be sacked himself.Griffin took a hatchet to his team list following a two-point loss to the Bulldogs in round nine.Jacob Liddle, Jaiyden Hunt, and Toby Couchman join Lomax on the omissions list as the coach desperately tries to turn the team's form around and save his own job.The Dragons board have already begun the process of deciding who will coach the team beyond this season, and given their early-season performances it would be a minor miracle if Griffin survives.The team has won two of eight games played, to sit only above the Cowboys and Tigers on the ladder.Lomax - who is earning upwards of $550,000 this season - is a casualty of those woes."I like Zac Lomax, wonderful player," Sailor told Triple M's Rush Hour."But at the moment he's not playing good football."Even that break he made on the weekend, Zac's pretty quick... his confidence is down."I think this will be good for Zac for a week or two. I'm a big fan of Zac, but at the moment they needed to shake something up, the Dragons."Anthony Griffin, he won't be there too long."Sailor played the entire 2009 season on the wing for the Dragons, but left before they won the premiership the following year.Since then the club has played NRL finals only three times in 12 complete seasons.
