    The Rumours Thread

    If they want to show case the NRL in Vegas then make the draw for rd 1 be the same as the 1st round of the finals of the previous year and take all 8 teams instead of a “chosen” few. A little reward for making the 8 and an element of fairness in respect of who goes.

    T P is right royally f**king J T’s ability to shine in a game He is still a gun but very poorly used and numbskull D Y was part of it.

    f**king hell I think I need a Chardonnay after that For the record I’m not death-riding Flanagan I am merely expressing my contempt for and intense dislike of him and I don’t and never did consider him a good coach either. If he succeeds so be it if he fails so be it but for all the hype thus...

    I was discussing if J T in fact would consider a move to St GI and I offered a suggestion as to what J T might need to consider if it was a possibility. On the evidence and statements at hand where arguably our best 3/4 is potentially going to be moved out of position to accommodate a severely...

    I agree the trouble is he needs a coach who knows how to use those assets The StGI coach thinks Bird is a centre and that Lomax is a winger and the old swap the FB & winger during the game tactic is a winner for 2024. JT would more than likely look at that and the recruitment thus far for 2024...

    Flanno's New Signings

    At least they will get to the play more often to share the dumb f**kery and resultant 6 agains, penalties and sin bins around a bit more.

    Flanno's New Signings

    Interesting posters harping on about improved fitness will do this do that and for some they hang their hat on that and big improvement will be evident game 1 and maybe there is truth in that. IMO there is something more important than fitness, attack, defence to improve and it will need to be...

    In If you can’t attack and score points from different parts of the paddock then you will struggle big time to defend a win. You need strike power to improve your chances of winning games. Whilst the defence at times is poor the attack generally is abysmal

    Flanno's New Signings

    If If they don’t improve the statement will be proved wrong. I agree with clueless and especially in attack and that gave all our opposition an easy ride and they conserved energy whereas when they attacked us we expended the entire fuel tank. So what concerns me with the fitness argument is...

    Flanno's New Signings

    I love the notion of improving players by 10, 20, 30% etc. What if some of these players simply can’t be improved by such margins and are actually very close to their ceilings? Certainly some can be fitter but only some not all and just because a player is fitter it doesn’t make him a better...

    Your point is far too logical for some. Look at who other clubs managed to sign and look at who we managed to sign absolute chalk & cheese.

    Blake Lawrie

    The adulation for “pudding” Lawrie is what makes us what we are namely pretty ordinary. Good club man, gives his best yes but that doesn’t make for being a captain. Footy brains, sense of the moment, quick thinking, smart decision making are what is needed and Blake has none of that and never...

    Blake Lawrie

    At this point in time he hasn't coached a game yet so I am still around living in hope that he will make some admission and/or show some remorse which is all I ask. If he hasn't by the start of the season then I will remain silent in this section of the forum until he either does, he leaves or...

    If that's true then our easily handled small prop is now even smaller.

    Blake Lawrie

    People aren’t questioning his ticker nor are they saying he didn’t give his best. They are simply saying his best is well short of others that play prop.
