St George Illawarra have sacked head coach Anthony Griffin.

Griffin was told by Dragons officials on Tuesday morning he would be removed immediately, with Ryan Carr to take over in the interim.

Griffin's exit comes after the Dragons slumped to a six-game losing streak, with Saturday night's 42-22 loss to North Queensland the final nail in the coffin.
