I would like him to stay. However maybe the more new coaching staff we have the more change we have the more possibility of winning that elusive premiership!!

Easing into top job

NEW Dragons under-20s coach Adrian Lam is easing into the head coaching position minus a stack of last year's National Youth Cup (NYC) stars.

Impressive forwards Trent Merrin and Jake Marketo have been promoted to the NRL squad and outside backs Joe Vickery (NRL), Dean Whare (Manly) and Kane Linnett (Roosters) have moved on.

Lam could also lose NYC player of the year Beau Henry who may be pushed to the Dragons feeder club Shellharbour in preparation for first grade.

"It is something Wayne Bennett will have to make a decision on,'' Lam said.

Lam, the former Queensland Origin half, takes over from the Dragons inaugural NYC coach Steve Price, who is now a full-time assistant to NRL head coach Bennett.

He will rely on Hurstville United five-eighth Kyle Stanley to guide the team around.

Tanley is joined by fellow St George juniors Kyle Mallyon (Kingsgrove Colts), Ernie Ciaschetti (Penshurst RSL) and Kane Gillies (Hurstville United).

"The thing that I've picked up is the amount of respect they have for the place,'' Lam said.

After the side finished one game short of the grand final in successive years, Lam has spent some time with the first grade side, including work with half Jamie Soward. "Soward had a great year last year but this year is probably the most important for him.

"I've done a bit of vision work with him,'' he said.

A household name in his native Papua New Guinea, Lam hopes to form a relationship between the Pacific island nation and the Dragons, after coaching PNG to win the Pacific Nations Cup, and securing a spot in the Four-Nations tournament at the end of this year against

Australia, New Zealand and England.

Dragons Under 20's: Chris Astill, Jared Brodrick, Sam Campbell, David Caterall, Ernie Ciaschetti , Jayden Dallalana, Jack De Belin, Kalifa Fai-Fai Loa, Kane Gillies, Tom Hancock, Josh Heggie, Beau Henry, Nathan Jones, Cameron King, Justin King, Kyle Mallyon, Simon

Maslanka, Alex McKinnon, Mitchell Nielsen, Blake Phillips, Luke Pickerd, Max Ray, Mitch Rein, Travis Roche, Scott Rosser, Jackson Russell, Trent Ryan, Kyle Stanley, Jack Stockwell, Wes Suckley, Jarrod Thompson, Shannon Wakeman.

Lam is coaching PNG... but is he still involved somewhere with the Roosters?? He was assistant to Freddie when he was coaching the Roosters.

He's the Dragons NYC coach isn't he ?

He came across when Brian Smith was signed to the Roosters. Wasn't needed I guess or Smith had his own coaches etc. Like how Flanno and Dymock came across with Sticky.
