St George Illawarra caretaker coach Dean Young has introduced new expectations for players at the winless club, directing them to remain at Dragons headquarters for a full working day. Across multiple reports, Young’s approach is described as an effort to tighten standards and reinforce accountability among the squad. The instruction requires players to be at the team’s headquarters for an eight-hour period rather than leaving after shorter sessions. The measures are presented as part of Young’s broader attempt to influence how the team prepares and conducts its day-to-day operations while it remains without a win. The reporting from outlets in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane aligns on the core details: Young is running the club in a caretaker capacity, the team is still winless, and the key change is a requirement for an eight-hour day at headquarters. No sources provide specific training content or the full duration of the program, but they consistently describe the new directive as an assertion of authority aimed at the club’s struggling form.
