The Coach Who Paid the Price: Shane Flanagan

Shane Flanagan sits down with James Graham for one of the most candid conversations you'll hear from an NRL coach. Flanno opens up about his brutal exit from the Dragons — the messages his family received, the moment that became the last straw, and how he found a way to move forward. He reflects honestly on his tenure at the club, his pride in the Dragons board, and just how hard it was coaching his own son Kyle.
Plus, Flanno reveals he still has a burning desire to be involved in the game — just not as a head coach — and why one of the new NRL franchises could be his next chapter.
