Flanno - “we aren’t going to win the comp this year”.

Even though it's the truth, would any other coach in the NRL say that publicly before the season starts?

If anyone made similar comments in private enterprise relating to performance outcomes, you’d be sacked.
How one unpacks in a post here is impossible.
I’ll leave that to the good folk in red and white.

That was one of the best 40/20s I've ever seen by the Leeds player, Jake Connor
And they go in again after it.

Not a bad move.
What he said in public is different to what he's saying to his players.
He's taken pressure off them and will be saying nobody expects us to do anything this year - and he hopes that fires them up to prove everyone wrong.

It's a stupid move.
Fires them up for the first game of the season? If they aren't fired up for it naturally then there is something inherently wrong at their club.
Alsoplustoo, watch how many times it gets brought up during the season, all the Fox and Nine idiots will have a field day with them each time they lose.
I'll add, it's actually a very stupid thing to say to the media.

Its a tactic used in every SOO game.
Coach says the other mob are favourites.

Flanno saying they're underdogs.
Can't win it.
Of course they can't win.
Everyone knows they can't win.

But he's just trying something different - to motivate them to prove everyone wrong.

He's talking about the season - not firing them up for Las Vegas.
