    Flanno's New Signings

    lol just because you see it different doesn’t mean to say I haven’t done research. If Suli is such a great defender then how is it K F does as much tackling especially try savers?

    Flanno's New Signings

    I look at the games and make a judgement on what I see. I often slo mo replays to look at what occurred and see where certain players were and why. Suli is a strong tackler no doubt but he does miss some and does get into the wrong position and is not the best reader of play. I don’t rely...

    Flanno's New Signings

    Alas almost all of our great ball playing second rowers have had a tendency to be a bit lazy in defence and they do get caught out. Huddart, Beath, Wynn, Jansen, Gourley all terrific players that had the luxury of top class defensive centres beside them that did a lot of their work for them...

    Alas poor Stanley is playing wing with the feathered saints. I remember him scoring a cracking try at the old sports ground after the full time hooter rang and kids started to run towards the field and the linesman and officials trying to stop them.

    In fact it will probably fold after we stop propping it up or if Dutton wins the next election it might never get off the ground.

    PNG will never win one.

    I recently posted that the PNG franchise will attract all the dick heads offloaded by other clubs and its behaviour on and off the field will be seriously problematic and that’s before you even think about their supporters.

    Are you saying the PNG team will be based in Cairns for all their home games? If so does that mean the team is based there for the year including training?

    Yes of course how silly of me and I heard James Luai has started swimming lessons and will be moving there as well.

    Not at all. For all the Gong supposedly has to offer the Steelers lasted all of 17 years & won 3 spoons and left a shit hole of a club for the members. If things are as great as you say they are down that way then why is it they attracted very little talent and ultimately folded? The people...

    Would it be fair to say that if the Gong had such appeal as people attest to in this place and the commute was as easy as people say it is it shouldn’t be hard rattle off a few players names who live in the Gong and playing for Sydney based clubs seeing you have around 210 players at Sydney...

    For you that is true but you’re not a high quality 1st grade NRL player who has options. TBH the proximity to Sydney is probably one of the stumbling blocks. Newcastle & Canberra are that bit further away so some extra $$$$ in your contract make a move to their more palatable. Living in...

    Holmes & Cook not wanted by their previous clubs and no where else to go so of course it was no impediment but if there was another offer then it might have been different

    Wollongong is a shit hole and the Steelers Club is the epitome of it. If you don’t think the things I mentioned matter then why isn’t anyone of note coming unless they are at the backend of their careers? All the talking up of the Cook & Holmes signings conveniently ignores the point that they...

    What about the schools, colleges, restaurants, wine bars, pubs, theatres, clubs lol the Steelers Club would turn anyone off, unemployment rate, employment opportunities or are beaches the be all and end all for making a decision to relocate your family?

    Billy Smith - Legend who hasn't been shown true Respect by NRL & media

    Billy & Changa used to practice stuff on their own at various parks in the area. I remember seeing them plenty of times in the little park opposite the entry to Beverley Park golf course. They would be there for hours trying all sorts of different things and remain focused the entire time...
