Dragons gamers have “given up on the club” amid a drama-filled season and 6 straight losses, “filthy” that “no one official from the club attended” the perform celebrating Ben Hunt’s three hundredth recreation.
Coach Anthony Griffin is more likely to be sacked in a membership board assembly on Tuesday, however it’s being reported that gamers have extra animosity in the direction of the Dragons’ brass than they do Griffin.
Veteran journalists Phil Rothfield and Brent Read mentioned on NRL 360 that the gamers are “dirty” on the Dragons administration, for his or her response or lack thereof, on Griffin’s job standing this season, which has been up within the air since earlier than a ball was kicked in 2023.

“I don’t think they have given up on him (Griffin),” Rothfield mentioned.
“I think they’ve given up on the club Buzz,” Read responded to which Rothfield mentioned “I agree.”
“The players are dirty on management that this has dragged on and on. The last six weeks, and not one word from the management about the future direction the club is going to take.”
Rothfield delved into controversy across the dinner final Tuesday celebrating Hunt’s milestone held at Pines Resort on the Gold Coast.
“You know the respect the Ben Hunt has not just at the club but in the game,” Rothfield mentioned.

“Last Tuesday night on the Gold Coast, there was a function for the players. Ben Hunt’s parents drove from Emerald, Kevin Walters came down with some of the Broncos players but chief executive Brian Webb, chairman Andrew Lancaster and not one board member bothered to get on a plane and salute Ben Hunt.
“I think it’s appalling. There is no excuse.
“I heard from one of the players that they were filthy that no one official attended that function. They were filthy.”
“It just shows that they are split,” Gorden Tallis mentioned.

“There was an official dinner that honoured this great player, and no one turned up. It’s appalling,” Rothfield mentioned.
