St George Illawarra Dragons, James Graham, sacked, released, axed, let go, parted ways, coaches, Peter Gentle, Mathew Head

The Dragons’ coaching clean-out has continued with the club letting go NRL great James Graham from his role mentoring the club’s elite pathways.

Graham is a hugely respected figure in the game but the former England captain becomes the third St George Illawarra staffer to be axed in the past fortnight.

Dragons coach Anthony Griffin decided to part ways with his assistant coaches Peter Gentle and Mathew Head last week.

But the trio shown the door have agreed to see out the remainder of the season, according to The Daily Telegraph.

Graham is reportedly now setting his sights on working for England at the World Cup at the end of the year.

Graham has also worked at the club in a corporate executive role this season, where his profile was a major lure for sponsors.

The 36-year-old played 423 first grade games in the Super League and NRL, while also representing England 44 times.

Graham has a strong influence in rugby league, with high-profile media roles on Fox League and Triple M.

The former Bulldogs and Dragons player was reportedly shocked by the club’s decision to let him go.

NRL 2022 Sydney Roosters v Brisbane Broncos live score, updates, stream, start time, teams, SuperCoach scores

Plenty is on the line when the Roosters host the Broncos at the SCG on Thursday night with the former hoping to hang onto the top eight and the latter looking to keep in touch with the top four.

The Roosters sit eighth after three consecutive wins but a loss to the Broncos could see them drop out of the eight if the Raiders beat a depleted Panthers outfit on Saturday.

On the other side of the coin, the Broncos look set to return to finals footy and have their eyes on a top four finish — but a shock loss to the Tigers last week has seen them drop to fifth.

Both coaches have been forced into making key changes to their side with Roosters duo Lindsay Collins (concussion) and Egan Butcher (suspension) out as well as Broncos star Patrick Carrigan, who copped a four-week ban for a hip-drop tackle.

Trent Robinson has promoted Matt Lodge to the starting side and brought Terrell May and Ben Thomas onto the bench.

Meanwhile, Kevin Walters has replaced Carrigan with Kobe Hetherington and Rhys Kennedy joins the bench.

In other key changes for the Broncos, Origin star Selwyn Cobbo returns on the wing from the concussion he suffered in game three, while Jake Turpin is back in the 17 at the expense of Cory Paix and will start at hooker with Billy Walters dropping back to the bench.
