Coaching preference for 2024

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Steven Bradbury will be announced as coach in about 3 months.

This is carnage.

Will he wear his gold medal at training......just to inspire our players

Unfortunately our players have no concept of winning so I doubt it will work.

I thought the whole idea of the legal system was you do the punishment for the crime, you pay your debt to society, and you move on having learnt your lesson. The eyes of the law may keep closer tabs on you but you're essentially a free man again. So I don't get why a lawyer would be taking the position that here is a person who must be considered guilty forever more. I get why some of the Cronulla players may never forgive Flanagan, but not a member of the legal profession. Would the lawyer take the same position if it was one of his clients? I just don't get it.

Apparently, the deal with Flanno is done. It was dependent on him bringing his own team. Us Dragons welcome the return of Dr Dank

Just for clarity: He’s not a Dr. He’s a biochemist. He’s been through the legal wringer on multiple occasions subsequent to the Cronulla debacle. He was also working with Des at the same time.

O

Did anyone notice how reserved Flanagan was in the box after the game while the other staff were very excited & rightly so.
Hopefully he wasn’t having second thoughts

Or he might be scheming which players he can bring with him hopefully

 

[zombiebloodlust]

The findings of his defamation case were damning. From memory he did a BRS. He will look great in red and white

He can start with bringing Garrick back

Darren is a Dragon supporter.

Darren may well be a Dragons supporter but why take the moral high ground with only Flannigan? God knows he’s had many opportunities to voice his displeasures in the past with the likes of Amone, Debelin and co. I didn’t even know he existed until now. For some reason, Flannigan is getting special attention.

Also as previously stated, it’s a tad hypocritical coming from an individual who has more than likely defended people of far worse indiscretions than coach Flannigan. Pass me a the salt please.

Would solve our kicking drama

I find it’s interesting with Dank, he was working with Des at that time and is kept hush hush. The medical profession have been using Peptides and steroids for years so has the military.
In rugby league Graham Olling was on a course of steroids in the 70’s, 80’s it wasn’t illegal and it didn’t make him superhuman, biggest thing out if it would be the body’s recovery and injuries. In league your body is so sore after a game it’s not funny it takes days for the soreness to go. That is where the peptides idea and its available use evolved.

 

[KogarahWarrior]

Thought the same thing myself....still peeves me off that we lost some good bodies whilst The Imposter insisted on playing Aitken every week

Yeah it just struck me, the bloke who ran rampant on him was a rejected Dragon...

 

[Slippery Morris]

The thing that scares me is Saints are copping all the dud calls now, will it get even worse with Flanno. If the NRL are against this guy, last thing they would want is him to succeed. With all these bad calls that influence most games these days in the NRL I just don't trust them anymore.

True. I believe the issue was that Dank used some substances that were actually banned and also was basically found to be undiscerning and very 'radical' in terms what he administered and to whom. Basically, he did some things that he should have known were 'illegal' and some things that, on the surface, were just crackpot, and, in any case, the whole program really needed much greater medical scrutiny. Again, he wasn't in any way suitably medically qualified to be basically experimenting with people's lives.

Lots of people made huge mistakes in trusting Dank. It was a tragic mess.

But, it was a long time ago now. Going forward - don't ever do anything like that again. Onwards and upwards.

 

[Slippery Morris]

I don't think Flanno was the only one that trusted Dank. Dank was around for ages before Flanno but just happened to be caught during Flanno's tenure. Saints I am sure will do more due diligence than what the Sharks did back then now that Flanno has had that issue to avoid the same errors.

Sounds emotionally personal

Well, Graham Olling went from basically a reserve grader to an Australian rep.

Don't even joke about this!

He could say he wasn’t up to speed with the molecular structures and mad science going on. Maybe that’s plausible because he’s not a chemist.

I am more worried about him breaching the terms of his penalty when he clearly understood it. And on multiple multiple occasions. No excuses for that really.

Still the league must be satisfied he’s had some insight and can behave himself to an extent, or he wouldn’t be an assistant.

It could be a conditional appointment, get Webby to give an undertaking that he won’t reoffend.

I’d stop short of an ankle bracelet, but something to disincentivise him from his dark thoughts.

Maybe a set 2 year period of coaching parole. Something to finally bring to an end to the questions about his character. A probation period perhaps.

It’s a big job but more than this, it’s the hopes and dreams of tens of thousands of people.

If he cheats again, the club will suffer terribly.

Ryan Webb on ABC radio said within the next week.and and a recruitment manager after that.
