Paul McGregor could be sacked as Dragons coach on Tuesday when the club's board holds an emergency meeting, a report says.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that a video conference would be held to discuss McGregor's future after a poor 22-2 loss to the Bulldogs on Monday. St George Illawarra are the NRL's only winless team after four rounds.
McGregor, who is aware of the meeting, conceded after the loss that he would understand if the Dragons decided to sack him but insisted he would not quit.
"Not a chance, I'm not a quitter," McGregor said on NRL 360.
The former Test centre would reportedly receive a payout of about $1 million if his reign as coach was ended early, having been contracted until the end of next season.
The Dragons would have to appoint a new coach, with their situation complicated by a head coaching ban for assistant Shane Flanagan; who took Cronulla to a maiden premiership in 2016.
McGregor was re-signed on a new two-year deal early last season, but the Dragons crashed to a dismal 15th-placed finish.
"I'm still the same coach - we're just not getting the results at the moment," he said.
