Paul McGregor is stamping his authority as St George Illawarra coach.
McGregor and the coaching staff have sorted out the playing roster since the 2014 season finished.
New head of recruitment Peter Mulholland is working closely with McGregor.
The Dragons returned to training on Monday, just days after Test winger Brett Morris was released to join the Bulldogs.
New signings today are experienced hooker Heath L'Estrange and halfback Beau Henry joining for 2015. However, New Zealand Test player Bronson Harrison is gone.
Veteran prop George Rose signed yesterday, on a 12-month deal, after stints with Manly and Melbourne. Other players leaving are Josh Ailaomai, Willie Mataka and Shane Pumipi.
Young Dragons forward Jack Stockwell is poised to join Newcastle.
There have been a host of changes to the coaching staff.
McGregor has promoted Dean Young and Ben Hornby as new assistants.
Ian Millward, who coached the Illawarra Cutters this season, joins McGregor’s inner sanctum.
Hornby will continue as Dragons under-20s team coach.
Cherry Mesica has been appointed chief strength and conditioner.
Speculation is surrounding winger Jason Nightingale, Trent Merrin and Gerard Beale.
The Leader understands the trio, who still have 12 months to run on their contracts, will be wearing the red and white in 2015.
The Sydney Roosters are keen to sign Merrin in 2016.
What do Dragons fans think about the sweeping changes?
