Newly appointed Dragons coach Anthony Griffin has his sights set on Cowboys enforcer Josh McGuire for next season.

In less than a week since taking over from Paul McGregor, Griffin has wasted no time in his endeavours to rebuild the club.

Griffin revealed to Nineโ€™s chief rugby reporter, Danny Weidler, he had been eyeing off McGuire to โ€œstrengthen the middle of the parkโ€.

NRL guru Phil Gould said he thinks the move is a โ€œlikely scenarioโ€ because the pair know each other well and are both from Rockhampton.

Weidler also said Griffin has started getting rid of coaching staff and with Dean Young on the move.

โ€œShane Flanagan isnโ€™t there anymore. Itโ€™s very likely that [Dean Young] wanted to look around, it might be good for his career,โ€ Gould said.

  1. Just what the Dragons need! A half blind, ill disciplined, Queenslander (all so successful for us). Fair dinkum, surely there is better than Maguire for forward options?

    It’s time to build from within.
