Ok he never handled himself emails where discovered did Barry Russell really have to give the NRL the clubs servers, he could have been still coaching our team, he was on the radio this morning on Mac Sports and denied he was even signed up...

Desperate coaches should take note. Its only a 12 month suspension if you truly want it all.

Peptides, Emails and breaking rules will all be swept under the carpet. All you gotta do is meet with uncle Todd.

"Flanagan left the cap/roster in a mess" is a bit disingenuous. He wasn't planning on leaving.

That squad playing the strangely disliked "Flannoball" woulda been easy top 4 this year.

But yeah losing a premiership coach, bringing in juniors/youngster and moving the ball around to battle for 8th spot in the last regular round is cool too, I 'spose...
Dont forget playing 6 rookies with only finals losing experience in lower grades!

No mention of Dugan, Moylan, Johnson or Morris with all their first grade losing finals experience?
Well they have won a heap as well. Point being, the footy IQ of a team with 6 rookies, isnt taking you anywhere.
That is why Flanno won a comp. When the chips were down, & they were during the run to the GF, the footy IQ stood up & got us home. That is wy Flanno usually only debuted 1 or 2 rookies each year.
Also why Moroko never got a run.

He also went against his past philosophies in buying players of their vintage, ie: Lewis, Heihgno, Jimmy and Prior, who have won Premierships.

You can only buy whats on the lot. He needed to buy because there was a massive player drain at the club. he bought the most experienced players available. All of them have been good purchases.
Dugan & Morris our best this year & Woods & Moylan cruelled by injury.

And injury made Bomber blood some of those rookies this year that maybe he hadn't planned on. He can only put players on the field who are available.

Bakuya? Sorenson? Gray? Kennedy was nowhere near ready for debut. Losing seg instead of releasing a Brailey?
All bad moves for season 2019. Might be ok for Season 2022.
& now there are rumours of losing even more experience to replace with Rookies. If that happens you can book us in for bottom 4.

All those players lost their spots. Good to see them doing ok for Newtown. They are hardly awe inspiring players that would have brought home the bacon against Manly.
They lost Seg because of the salary cap mess, then they did release a Brailey for next year. Maybe Seg will come back?
Face it, the higher payed players did not stand up in the end. That is what they are payed for, and please dont give me injury crap, they are payed to do anything to make us win, not be soft and lose our finals appearance.
