Former Leeds Rhinos assistant-coach Ryan Carr has taken temporary charge at an NRL club.

Carr was appointed interim-coach of St George-Illawarra Dragons this morning, after the sacking of Anthony Griffin.

St George are second from bottom in the NRL with just two wins from the opening 10 rounds.

The club say Carr has taken the hot seat while they “continue assessing head coaching candidates for the 2024 season”.

He left England after just one year to join the backroom roster at Parramatta Eels and moved to Dragons as assistant-coach ahead of this season.
