St George premiership winner Jamie Soward hints there’s a HUGE announcement in hours: ‘Today is going to be a good day if you’re a Dragons fan’

- Hint came while looking for a new coach
Premiership winner and Dragons NRLW coach Jamie Soward has dropped a bombshell on the club’s long-suffering fans by hinting that the team will make a big announcement on Wednesday.
The former Saints halfback wrote on Twitter in the early hours: “Today is going to be a good day. If you are an @NRL_Dragons fan. Stay tuned……’
St George sacked coach Anthony Griffin on May 15 and their supporters have been eagerly awaiting news of who will replace him.
Former Dragons propagandist Jason Ryles is the favorite to take over, and his ex-teammates Dean Young and Ben Hornby are also said to be in the mix.

The ex-halfback put fans on edge with this cryptic tweet in the early hours
Ryles is currently a highly regarded assistant to Roosters coach Trent Robinson and has also cut his teeth under Craig Bellamy at the Storm, where he worked from 2015 to 2020.
He was even brought in by Eddie Jones during his spell as England Rugby Union coach to ‘harden up our defence’, as the current Wallabies boss put it.
Ryles is under contract with the Roosters until 2024, but there is speculation that the team will let him walk.
The towering ex-front rower has reportedly laid out a number of conditions for the Dragons to meet before signing on, including being given a five-year contract and a large degree of control over the team’s setup so he can make widespread changes.

St George Illawarra have fallen last on the ladder after a shock run both on and off the field under sacked coach Anthony Griffin (pictured).
St George Illawarra are currently in last place with a record of just three wins after 12 rounds.
The team has also had a horrendous flight from the field, with club bosses failing to show up for a dinner to mark star Ben Hunt’s 300th game and five-eighth Talatau Amone facing serious charges over an alleged hammer attack.
Even the announcement of Griffin’s departure was poorly handled, with the club scheduling media interviews for players minutes after his sacking, ambushing them with questions.
The Dragons are currently led by interim coach Ryan Carr, who competed with Adam Reynolds for the Souths halfback spot before his playing career was cut short by injury.
