Jason Ryles<\/a> could be announced as the Dragons<\/a>' new coach by the end of the week.<\/p>\n

The Sydney Morning Herald<\/a> reports a board meeting could take place as early as Thursday night after their game against the Dolphins<\/a> in Redcliff.<\/p>\n

The axing of Anthony Griffin<\/a> saw assistant Ryan Carr promoted into the hot seat. He took the side to a thrilling last-minute victory against the Roosters last week.<\/p>\n

Ryles is asking for a five-year contract to turn the Dragons into a premiership-contending side. It's a similar deal to what Cameron Ciraldo was given at the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

Former Red V players Ben Hornby and Dean Young are still thought to be in the picture.<\/p>\n

Carr is tipped to return to an assistant role regardless of who takes over as coach. He indicated on Wednesday he wasn't interested in taking on the top job full-time.<\/p>\n

"That's not really for me to comment on; the club has asked me to do a job right now," he said.<\/p>\n

"I'm going to try to do that to the best of my ability. Whatever happens next year, happens.<\/p>\n

"All I'm worried about is the Dolphins \u2026 that's all I'm focused on. As soon as you look outside of things, there's no point spending energy on it because it's a waste of time."<\/p>\n

League great Phil Gould said he would be "very surprised" if Ryles ended up at the Dragons.<\/p>\n

"I know they've all had it in print but I'd be very surprised," he said on Nine's 100% Footy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Nine's Danny Weidler said the Roosters are already eyeing three-time premiership player Jake Friend to take over Ryles' job, but that Ryles was only "50-50" to end up at the Dragons.<\/p>\n

But Gould disagreed.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"I don't even think it's (50-50). I don't think he's going to the Dragons," he said.<\/p>\n

"I think Jason Ryles is probably a longer-term fix at the Melbourne Storm, if and when Craig Bellamy gives it away."<\/p>\n
