Anyone still want to sack Flanno?

Find me a club that doesn't have at least 3 players in the squad with the shits at the coach and I'll go up to Gal...introduce myself as Newmans lover and challenge him to 3 rounds of Greco Roman wrestling.

So the players are pissed with Flanno, so they are thinking about going to the board. Who got into power on the back of his sacking. Who re-signed him to a rich, 3 year deal whilst he was suspended.
Yep, that will do them the world of good.

Fwiw, my take on that is Newcastle.

Hmmm - interesting!

Look, APART from the Gal comment which was a shocker, he came across pretty well on the Shark Cast.

HOWEVER. he reminds me of a typical coach from a small club (i.e. my background is country NSW - Bathurst). In other words, any of the decent coaches from country NSW sound as knowledgeable as Flanno.

SO - the question is, do ALL NRL coaches sound that way (i.e nothing special)? I know Loz does...

Or, are the Bennetts/Bellamys/Maguires etc really 'a cut above' the rest?

I suspect the latter-mentioned coaches are genuinely better.

I would love to see Nathan Brown as our head coach, with Flanno as 'Assistant Coach', if he would be willing to cop the demotion. He obviously has a heart for the club ad the area.

Always bothers me that most footy coaches aren't very smart. At least they appear that way. I'm a huge soccer fan as well and the knowledge and tactics the majority have shit it in over league coaches. I think league is waiting for a real innovator. The current lot all do the same thing.

Hahaha! Well you've got as big a mouth as Flanno! Pretty sure Newman didn't want your relationship divulged in this way!!! ;-)

Are talking of the past when a footballer worked an 8 hour day, 5 days a week, trained 3 nights & spent more time at the pub with his team mates than his missus?
f**k I hate getting old.

And they played like it was their last game every game.

There's some great blokes still playing the game in the right spirit.

But gee you see some very precious selfish personalities more often than not.

Many people root other people's wives. Who gives a shit?

ET is a club legend and should be more involved. Think Man UTD care about what Ryan Giggs did?
