Where to start with this train wreck of a club?Like the Tigers, this joint venture still has factions and is very much a club divided between those in Wollongong and those in Kogarah.The administration is out of touch with the fan base and has little idea of how to create a winning culture - yet somehow they survive.The Dragons improved slightly after they finally sacked Anthony Griffin - probably a year too late - and Ryan Carr did a good job trying to pick up the pieces.Ben Hunt was the Dragons' best player - so much so that without him they may not have won a game - yet he has made it clear he wants nothing to do with the place in a stinging rebuke to management.He wasn't the only player who wanted out during a troubled year - classy fullback Tyrell Sloan and half Jayden Sullivan were also vocal in their demands to leave, the latter going to the Tigers next season.Apart from Hunt, there were few positives - winger Mikaele Ravalawa had a superb season in a poor side, bagging 20 tries, while prop Blake Lawrie, hooker Jacob Liddle and centre Zac Lomax had their moments.It's now up to incoming coach Shane Flanagan - a controversial choice given his past indiscretions - to try resurrect a club in desperate need of a makeover.But the Dragons have signed just one player to date - forward Hame Sele from the Rabbitohs - and they need much, much more to avoid another season of failure.
