The main thing DA needs to work on at Parra is mental toughness. The Dragons have that under Bennett.

DA has instilled a much better culture since hagan left.

The losses we have had has not been because we weren't trying, just an execution problem.

This execution problem is because we have inexperienced halves. This is what DA is trying to achieve for next year.

I think DA should be given until mid next year until they decide his future at the club.
