Flanagan signs two-year extension with the Dragons

Shane Flanagan will remain the coach of St George Illawarra after signing an extension on his coaching contract.
The 2016 premiership-winning coach has re-signed with the club for a further two years, which will now take him to 2028.
In a statement released by the club, Dragons CEO Tim Watsford was pleased that Flanagan had agreed to the extension, believing he fits into the long-term vision of the club.
“Shane has played a critical role in setting the foundation for where this club is heading,” he said.
“He’s re-instilled belief in our playing group, coaches and supporters together with reiterating the privilege of wearing the Red V.”
This season, the Dragons have flirted with the top eight, but after a four-game loss streak before their last game against Parramatta, they now sit 12th on the ladder and are three games adrift from the top eight.
Their next match is against the Sharks on Saturday afternoon at Jubilee Park.
