Kyle Flanagan

He won't be dropped, if anything when Reed is ready and there is too much noise for Reed to start in 2027 he will just find another position for Kyle and someone else will be dropped.
Possibly a factor in holding off re signing Cook.

Really there is only LKT as another option, could argue that Kyle is taking up the position and if he wasn't signed we might have signed someone better.

He can be on the 6 man extended bench if it keeps coach happy without dropping him.

Agree Flinstone.

To be honest, wouldn't have mattered who was six with all the mistakes yesterday.

Flanno Jr took on the line and nearly scored but tried it a second time when it should have gone to the backs. That's one of the problems when we are attacking and nothing comes from it. Another four points ahead and takes some pressure off. We never skip ahead which should reduce the mistakes.

Might be time for to give O'Neil a shot. Anyway, It on Flanno Snr.

So his kick for Suli and the short pass to Leilua that resulted in 2 of 3 tries not being counted . And now everyone else's mistakes are on him too this is just getting ridiculous . O'Neil didn't even get picked for cup on the weekend LOL. Your second line is correct scrap the rest and it looks intelligent.

With both couchmans out and if Sele is injured and unable to play is this a good time to trial kyle as a lock?

The thing with KF is that he plays poorly for 9 out of the 10 games and has the occasional decent game. If only he could replicate this performance and get better week on week he may not attract this criticism

I haven't ever commented on Kyle before, BUT.
I think it was obvious it was his INEPT management that instructed Guller to run outside him on the left & take the tackle, so they could go left again. Where all Guller had to do was play what was in front of him & draw the player to throw the pass left with THREE 3,3,3 F"N players on ONE,1,1,1,.
It was the exact same with Gutho.
NEVER have I been so F'N FLABBERGASTED of such DUMB heads up play whats in front of you knowledge.
If this was Illias he would have been sent back to reserves as he wasn't closing games out.
I'm Done.
Ps.

You are 1/2 correct, because the more guaranteed try option was to just give a short ball to the runner. instead of the risk of knocking ball on with the kick.

Yep, with Guthos experience i can't understand why he didn't go left and use the numbers, it's simple stuff.

Unfortunately I can understand why!! I have liked Gutho at the dragons but the game against his old team he played for himself and wanted to prove a selfish point rather than play for the team… soooo disappointing !!!

Kyle this season is now effecting the team . It is showing that players are not responding to him on the field.
We now have Atkinson at no 7 that flanno signed and still kyle can not support his no 7 just the way he fustrated Ben hunt does not know how to run to the line and support his no 7 he is playing knowing he will not be dropped by daddy the coach its so obvious and its embarrassing with everyone in the media saying the same 0.4 this week.

If Ben Hunt played half as bad as that the whole forum would be laying into him.

These performances are becoming more common for Clint. he has really dropped off since the start of last year. People going on about Jake Trbojevic now looking like a shadow of him former self...I also like Gutho but he looking done and dusted, and we are paying him big money.

Flanno signed Gutho and Holmes to massive deals. He wanted them now he has to deal with his decisions

The pass to Leilua was nothing, Leilua made that try himself, kyle had nothing to do with it and the kick for Sulis try was the wrong option, should of gone through the hands but was still a proper try assist

Kyle at 6 is depriving Atkinson is best spot in the halves.
Atkinson 6
Reed 7 and if the coach thinks Reed is not ready, the O'Niel at 7 until Reed is ready. After all they recruited O'Neal as a backup halfback.
Kyle to reserve grade.
