Flanno will not go for the May Brothers IMO. He has said he wants players that help the culture and also with all 3 brothers in the mix, I dont see him doing that. He has said he will not panic sign people and that would be a desperate move.

Absolutely delighted that our new coach is spending some of his time assessing our juniors.
Fantastic.

By all accounts Flanno has been heavily involved in Pathways from day one, making sure all the juniors coaches know what he wants from them and from their charges in future as he looks to get our Club back on track. Not just keeping an eye on talent but also trying to instill some pride and professionalism and build a positive and winning culture. This is something we've sorely missed from past coaches who were more concerned with self preservation and short term success.

He did the same at the Sharks Kit66, they are still strong in the lower grades because of the systems he put in place.

Flanno knows that if he is to continue coaching the club he needs to unearth a diamond in the rough.
The hardest part for him is the club is in no-mans land atm.....do they come out and say we are rebuilding and put a broom through the joint and start again, build from pathways and up [like Shane Richardson has doing at WT] or do they plug the holes with the best available talent that's on the market and hope that these rough diamonds come into grade sooner rather than later.
Either way the sponsors/financial backers are a hungry lot wanting results so getting them and the supporters on board is always difficult.
I hope for the sake of the NRL community that Saints can once again play finals footy.
Hang in there lads. As this song says..."Things can Only Get Better"
