Kyle Flanagan

[possm]

So many shit plays and shit goal kicking from Kyle tonight.

Getting tackled on the last with useless runs.

One thing I miss about Ben Hunt is his ability to run the football on the last after beating a defender, Kyle beats a defender on the last and then holds his position to kick for 5-10 meters before putting in some useless kick. It is the sort of thing you'd expect to see in park footy in your town over the weekend, the fact that his Dad is making sure he continues to play at the highest level is ludicrous.

We deserve much better than this useless father and son ruining our once great club, get them both off our books and the future looks bright.

Kyle should be dropped. He is out of form and only in the side because his father won't drop him. If we can't pick up a marquee halfback, I suggest we promote Reed to the position until at least the end of 2025.

We should also drop Cook and replace him with a young forward; Fifita or Tonga.

While I'm at it, Leilua puts in very little these days. I suggest he joins the prop rotation (short flat-out stints).

We are gone for the season,maybe time to experiment with the rookies and give them some grounding for next year.
Could not be any worse than what is happening now.

Yes, get rid of the dead wood, pay them out.
Then promote/select our youngsters:

1. Ramsey
2. CT
3. Cutherson
4. Suli - instructed to pass to his winger
5. Williams
6. Sloan - tackle with both arms
7. Reed
8. Tonga
9. Liddle
10. Klemmer
11. Halangahu - I predict our best edge forward in 2026
12. Nick T
13. Stewart

14. LKT
15. Liu - a young, energetic big prop
16. Fifita
17. Leilua - short 10 min stints prop or back row

Be patient, the above team has the tre potential to be an exciting team.

Does Ilias deserve a second chance?

 

[Dragonssupporter]

Does Ilias deserve a second chance?

Can we do any worse than what were doing now? Give him some massive coaching and see what happens. With Sua gone our year is definitely over

 

[thebigredv]

Does Ilias deserve a second chance?

Not on talent and ability but just on what is plain fair.

But of course the coach doesn't want to upset what is working so well for us.

 

[saintmar]

Does Ilias deserve a second chance?

That question flano has already answered in the the last 14 games and with a massive success rate of 4 wins out of 14 games it is obviously enough wins for Flano to say
NO WAY I am happy with how we are travelling cause we were rebuilding last year, will be rebuilding this year and rebuilding next year

 

[jeffdragon]

When he kicks for touch 10m
And runs sideways to a snail forward that shits me.
f**king stupid.

Ever since Garrett Widdop left us, we have not had a game managing half. Ben Hunt was not one. Corey Norman was not one. Amone iwas not one and Flanno Jr is not one. There was a high hope for Bud but he never turned into one. Teams give top money (over a million) to the likes of Reynolds and DCE. We need one or we have to develop one.

The current ones we have Kyle, LKT and Ilias are not game managers. We need to either buy one or develop one.

No, replace Kyle with Reed for the remainder of this season.

 

[Illusion]

Does Ilias deserve a second chance?

I would give him a go , as I have said before he was shafted for losing a game by 1 point ........ Kyle tries hard but is definitely not a 7 ....... It's not working at least Ilias is a 7 whether he is playing good or so so ....... Kyle or Ilias, for me Kyle has had more of a chance and it's not happening .......

 

[redv13]

No, replace Kyle with Reed for the remainder of this season.

Sure, let’s take Reed from Flegg and throw him into 1st grade with the current dumpster fire that’s occurring weekly. I’m sure the kid will be fine…..

yep and then bully him relentlessly online when he isn’t Andrew john’s after 1 game

It wouldn't be the first time a brilliant player was promoted to first grade at his age. The problem we have at out club is that we do not have people who can make such decisions. We lose too many juniors purely because their talent is not identified and because they are not promoted/extended/locked in.

In the case of Reed, I say let go Ilias, Glover, and have:
Reserve grade
6. LKT
7. Reed - 5 year deal

First Grade
6. Atkinson
7. A marquee halfback (new signing)

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

It’s funny u watch the best player Gould has ever seen ie Lachie and he didn’t score a try on the wknd despite them winning by 40pts

the indv creativity in attack by Xerri, Kiraz and Tracey was through the roof that game

How come the great juniors from other clubs are prepared to wait for their time. There seems very little reporting on these other juniors pissing off because they weren't getting picked in 1sts. With us it is relentless ........Garrick, Bud Sullivan, Bostock, Wisharr, Tamale, Finau, Glover, LKT (until he signed), Sione Finau. I'm sure I've forgotten a few more. Yet at the storm, Pezet and Wisharr wait patiently. At the Roosters, Savala, S Smith, Rodwell wait patiently. At the dogs, Mitchell Woods waits patiently. At the Warriors, Sam Healey, Hannah Boyd waits patiently. The media rarely has frenzy stories like the LKT to Knights and Glover and Illias will move on if not picked in 1sts.
