Tiatia in talks over new Dragons deal

Filo Tiatia is currently in discussions to extend his stay with Dragons following a campaign of noticeable improvement. Although his initial year at the helm yielded only a single victory, last term brought three wins and four draws in league action alongside a run to the Challenge Cup semi-finals.

Leadership pointed to a gain of 19 additional points in the standings and praised his ability to build strong self-belief within the squad. He is supported by assistant Dale MacLeod and coaching staff Matt O'Brien and Sam Hobbs as the team prepares to open its upcoming schedule against Benetton on 25 September.
