Anyone still want to sack Flanno?

Listen to the podcast where john Morris tells why Robbo is playing.
I know he is paid by the club but it actually was a reasonable reason.

I also find it hard to enjoy a sharks win anymore knowing that flannos job is safer because of it. Its sad that I see losing games more of a win because its 1 loss closer to flanno being told to pack his bags.

Well you guys need to wake up
He is already improving on last year and it's not beyond the realms of possibility to scrape into the eight which guarantees him at least another year

He is the appointed coach for better or for worse

I for one wish him every success

What is Flannos absolute peak of coaching ability? I'd say a semis berth with no impact in the finals series. With all his baggage why stick with him?

2013 we just failed to beat manly after losing Carney, with him we probably win and make it to finals wins.

I'm not sure that qualifies as lack of impact.

The style of football we play will hinder not help in the finals.

We would basically be trying to grind away for 4 weeks, hope it rains each week.

Last night summed it up we have played the most golden point games, thats because we never blow away teams, we look to grind it out
 

Frenzy.

Might not be popular but it makes sense. f**k me. I thought Graham was shit AGAIN tonight. Paul who? He is a club legend, but it's like getting Lewis to be captain. They hardly play.

I agree. Graham is an over rated plodder at best. Has been for years and isn't a captain's arsehole. What Wade Graham has is a publicity officer called Paul Gallen who gets people believing Wade is a superstar.

He's not.

I've been listening to the anti sack Flange argument (particular the fluff athon on FB which ive left because I cant handle it). There is one point I find curious. Its the one that goes Flange didn't pass the intercept, or get the kick charged down. I agree cant argue there, but his reaction the following week is within his bailiwick. On each occasion the player in question played the following week. But anyway I think that's all been said already in this thread. But riddle me this? What, if we lose every furgin game in the same manner from round 10 -20 (ie last gasp by a furgin stooopid play). At what point do we say enough and point the finger at the coach? Maybe i'm over simplifying this but everyone is saying yay Flanno is safe for another week because we won. Now we won because of a piece of brilliant play by a player. We lost 3 matches because of an equally stoopid play by a player. We congratulate Flange when a player does something brilliant, but cant pillory him when the opposite occurs because in that scenario its the players stoopidity not the coach. So its simple in my stupifd head, he gets paid to win games. We lose for whatever reason its a strike against him. I mean how else can you judge the coach if you're are always going to blame players and not the coach for losing. Under what circumstances would you ever sack a coach then? If we lose by 20 each week?

Well if we lose every game then yeah the coach has to go

And equally if we win every game then....

It's a bit circular

All a coach can be expected to do is show improvement in performance
On both his tenures he has done that

One of those improvement over a national and state coach

Fug yeah

We should have slater sliding it under the posts after a chip from Thurston off a brilliant pass by Jamie Lyons
Why can't flanno understand this

Sack flanno immediately and then we can play the finals like we did last year...

Forget results.

The only judge of a coach is that every player plays to their best consistently.
They play as a unit.
They play with discipline.
Young players are brought on and developed.

We are a mistake riddled joke. Losing games in the last minute with stupid plays. The Robson / Wade Vaudville act last night. Fifita playing the ball and so on.
Most blokes get cronullified and play the worst footy of their careers.

And guns like Peachey star at opposition clubs after they had to leave to get a crack in firsts.

By no measure is Flanno a first grade coach.

And I haven't even mentioned ASADA.

What did you think of warren Ryan as a coach ?

To be honest I haven't seen Peachey really do anything yet that has made me disapointed over losing him. Not to say he won't come good.. However he hasn't been able to crack Penrith's 13 even with all their players out.

This is why you shouldn't get upset about what people say on this forum...most of the users don't even check the facts they quote. 80% constant bullshit here.

Coaches since Lang who won 61% of games coached.
Anderson won 46.3%
Roper won 41.9%
Stuart won 41.8%
Flanagan 43%

Ordinary records the lot.
