Head Coach Dai Flanagan has vowed to put even more of his own imprint and stamp on Dragons RFC this close season.
Dragon ended the BKT United Rugby Championship season with an impressive bonus point victory over Scarlets at Principality Stadium that showcased the undoubted talent and potential at the club.
Flanagan has spoken passionately in recent months about his much he is now looking to work with the players during an extended close season due to the Rugby World Cup.
And he revealed that will definitely involve changing the way the team trains as he looks to put his own distinct mark on the Men of Gwent.
"When I came in it wasn't my imprint on the group," said Flanagan. "I was second in command for the first few months, a time where you get your foundations and expectations and your standards.
“To then try to do that along the way has been interesting. I feel we've had a good reaction - we just haven't been able to get results.
"It's drawing a line in the sand now. It becomes more mine and along that way I put my stamp on it.
"We will train differently. We have to train differently because we don't win enough games."
Flanagan will now take time to reflect on his first season at Rodney Parade and he firmly believes he is the better for the experience of a turbulent year in Welsh rugby.
"I'm a big reflector, to be honest - I'll always reflect,” he said.
"One of my biggest hinderances as a player was I always had a lot of questions over whether I was good enough. I always trained and played with a bit of like 'should I be here?'
"I've never questioned myself coaching-wise. I have a different belief in my ability as a coach than I ever did as a player. Can I do this job? Yeah. Is this job tough? Yeah.
"You have to understand what you've signed up for and where fundamentally you are.
“It's something I've enjoyed thoroughly since I've taken over. It's something I believe I can have a massive effect on.
"I've never made any excuse and I won’t, because we're not in it to make excuses," he added.
"We're in it to win games, aren't we? And develop players and people. The better you can develop your players and people, the more games you win."
You have to understand what you've signed up for and where fundamentally you are... It's something I've enjoyed thoroughly since I've taken over. It's something I believe I can have a massive effect on...
