Shane Flanagan's two-year extension is questioned as Dragons lose eight of nine games since signing, increasing pressure on him.
The Dragons' decision to give coach Shane Flanagan a two-year extension in August last year has been put under the microscope given the club's horror stretch since the deal was signed.
Following a win against Canberra in Round 22, 2025, Flanagan was re-upped for two years, giving him security until the end of 2028.
The Dragons would win their next game against arch rivals Cronulla before finishing the season with a whimper, losing four straight.
As they've dropped their first four to start this year, the Red V have lost eight of nine games since Flanagan was offered and signed said contract extension.
"He's under pressure. You can't keep losing games and not being under pressure. Any coach that starts a season like this and continues like this, he is under pressure," journalist Dave Riccio said on NRL360.
