General Manager Ben Haran enters the Dragons Den.

Christian and Ben focus on the current climate at the club, is Hook on the chopping block?

What happens behind the scenes when a coach is moved on and why do we lose so many of our youngsters, only to look outside the Illawarra and Kogarah nursery for players?

Josh Kerr is a big man with an even bigger personality. As Christian and Josh overlook WIN Stadium, Josh honestly and openly unpacks a difficult loss to local rivals The Sharks. 

The boys discuss how the current Dragons squad must create their own identity and if the media circus surrounding the squad affects team performance. Can being off contract destabilise a player mentally? And what are the expectations of the modern footy player now, and after retirement? 

Josh discusses his journey from an 18 year old centre in Melbourne to a hard running prop wearing the Red V, and all of the challenges in between. 
Josh is truthful, direct and entertaining in a way only he can be. And he doesn’t hold back.
