St George Illawarra have sacked head coach Anthony Griffin after a dire two-and-a-half season tenure. It started with the tepid enthusiasm a recycled coach typically brings and ended with a long march to the inevitable, marked by bizarre selection decisions and mounting losses.
The writing was on the wall for Griffin when the club announced in mid-March that it would undertake an open interview process for the head coaching role in 2024. Griffin would be welcome to reapply for the job – a highly unusual decision to search for a new coach without officially putting a line through the incumbent.
