Anyone still want to sack Flanno?

[Surely]

Fmd you merkins are moaners

The comp is tight , we consistently make the finals.

We won the premiership two years ago

Prior to that just making the finals was a bonus

Flanno hasnt evolved with the times. He is playing the same boring footy style since he took over from ricky.
I wouldn't say sack him just yet but he needs to show some back bone
Gallen needs to retire and Chad needs to go

 

[Surely]

Yeah

I remember when clowns in here wanted brad Arthur

How's Paul Green going ?

 

[sandshark]

FLANNO OUT

like now?
we've fallen back to old ways.

Making the finals is no mean feat, 8 other teams and their coaches for that matter are all the envy.
But how we get there is dead set boring - if your happy with that, good luck to you

 

[Griffoshark66]

Will we make the finals?

 

[shadowboxer]

Will we make the finals?

It would be fitting if we didn't.
Last year was a debacle and really watching that semi against the Cowboys was like watching Benny Hill, you know you shouldn't laugh, but you cant help it.
Miss the 8, the blow torch might be applied.
Make the 8, its all good

 

[Griffoshark66]

Yep, when mediocrity is acceptable, a first week finals exit won't attract any criticism at all. Yay, we made the finals again.

 

[Card Shark]

I don’t think anyone accepts mediocrity but 8 other teams would be extremely envious of where we sit, including Manly.

1 game does not make a year, even though yesterday’s game is their year it seems...they are always up for it.

They were less up than normal but we still couldn’t capitalise.

Plenty of twists & turns in this comp yet.

 

[Differ To The Coifed]

Waiting waiting waiting for a complete performance.....

 

[carcharias]

I’m pretty the coach didn’t tell them to let Manly score 33 points
Even though they have been one of the best defensive teams all year.

Maybe too much work on attack lately.

 

[Surely]

Manly have a good squad , when they are on they are tough to beat, ask Bellamy.

All are as good if not better than our blokes in the same positions

Shaun lane is their top try scorer
Brad Parker is their best winger
The hooker has played 5 minutes. (Already looks like a better attacker than brailey)

That loss wasn't a case of Manly being on, it was the Sharks being off.
Manly scored 4 soft tries and another from a bomb that Dugan didn't even compete on.

Lazy defence from Graham, Moylan, Lewis and others topped off with Fifita giving away stupid penalties and almost submitting in tackles as well as a protection racket for a half back who is playing like a busted lead to that pathetic result.

That was almost a repeat of the ordinary way we went out to the Cowboys in the semi's last year.
They went into the game expecting to win it with a piss poor attitude and got their collective arses handed too them.

This team cannot win the comp on this form and will be also rans come finals time.

The problems that were obvious last year with discipline and following instructions are still there now.

No one has been given a week off. None of the crap that crept into the squad has been fixed.

This is the coaches job. If you keep allowing the same things to happen and expect a different result, then you get what you get.

Get some nuts Shane and pull those players into line.

So everyone is wondering, what happened?
They haven't had a score put on them like that in years. The defence has gone to shit against a team sitting on the bottom of the ladder. And they let an out of form donkies team beat them.
It's an attitude thing. And that is being over confident because they are in the finals.
They are a team that can go deep into the finals, so they think.
They will get towelled up if they don't improve

Who is responsible for the attitude of the squad?,

 

[txta2]

There's to many 'experienced veteran' talkers for sure.
