Interim Dragons coach Dean Young says young halfback is not a ‘saviour’<\/p>\n
Interim Dragons coach Dean Young has just spoken to Fox League, ahead of this afternoon’s blockbuster against the Sydney Roosters.<\/p>\n
There is a lot of focus on Kade Reed, who is making his NRL debut as the Dragons’ starting halfback.<\/p>\n
Young says he has left Reed alone this week ahead of his debut, but also made it clear that victory today must be a team effort.<\/p>\n
“I can tell you one thing, Kade Reed isn’t a Dragons’ saviour,” Young says.<\/p>\n
“The 16 players that go on the field next to him today need to do their job, and Kade will be able to do his.”<\/p>\n

ANALYSIS: Shane Flanagan’s sacking is the same old story for St George Illawarra<\/p>\n
Was there a bigger story in the NRL this week than the Dragons parting ways with Shane Flanagan as coach? <\/p>\n
The Red V have lost all seven matches in 2026, and they are on an 11-game losing streak dating to last year.<\/p>\n
The parting way with Flanagan, and the poor performances on the field, are part of an all too familiar story for the joint venture, writes ABC Sport’s Nick Campton. <\/p>\n

(AAP)<\/p>\n
Kade Reed is a 20-year-old making his debut on Anzac Day.<\/p>\n
After former coach Shane Flanagan and the Dragons parted ways at the start of the week, interim coach Dean Young has thrown the 20-year-old straight into the side.<\/p>\n
He replaces Kyle Flanagan, Shane’s son, as the starting halfback.<\/p>\n
It is a mighty arena for this man to step into. He made his NSW Cup debut late last year, and he has played three matches in that competition this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"8m agoSat 25 Apr 2026 at 6:17am 12′ TRY: Siua Wong scores for the Roosters The Roosters have…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":629445,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[303032,64,63,160,761,762,158,120081,159,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-629444","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-anzac-round","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-live-blog","12":"tag-national-rugby-league","13":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","14":"tag-nrl","15":"tag-round-eight","16":"tag-rugby-league","17":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629444\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/629445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
