I love it when you are like this. Reminds me of someone.

He was re-signed based on the team running well. Forget the Storm game his contract would of been sorted prior.
I still like our chances to make the final series. But if we only won say 3 or 4 more games this year I wouldn't hesitate to sack him. I may cost a million but that would be potentially paid back in tickets and merchandise and sponsors if we where succesfull

I also wanted DA to stay but unfortunately the fans had too much say.


You seriously blaming the fans for the punting of DA??? PO was down in melb interviewing SK to replace him in April of 2010. They didn’t want anyone associated with fitzy in the club, and we had pirtek pulling some strings. I’ve heard many excuses but this one takes the cake.

Only to you.

Fans become factions. Factions responds to fans.

I would recommend you approach the NRL and ask if Flanno can come back.

You seem unimpressed with Mr Arthur and the way your quality juniors come through the grades. (or don't)

Flanno is great at putting the pathways in and bringing players through to first grade where they go well.

Also good at signing good players.

For where you are at Flanno would be great.

Or you could stick with Brad.
Flanagan needs illegal TPAs, at least in the years before and after he wins a premiership. I'd be happy with that.

Totally. Our form in the last 3 weeks has probably cost us 5000 fans and $150k in gate takings factoring in Thursday night and the up coming Friday game.

It's interesting that the Broncos' management fell into the trap of thinking their team underachieved, and Souths overachieved, because of their respective coaches.

It's a real paradox that in a team environment we kid ourselves that the buck can ever stop with just one person. Coaches, CEOs, prime ministers. Shit is far too complex for scapegoats to still be a thing, but the human psyche just demands it.

There will be plenty of Souths fans at the game. Their money is as good as anyone's.

If Penrith didn't suck there would've been more at Thursday's game too.

Yeah but seriously ours are idiots, have been for ages, how Flanno succeeded with our incompetence at the front office says much for him.

Yeah he was ignorant of his role in the admin and has paid the price.

Again was just a suggestion, as you seem unhappy (parra fans not you in particular) with Mr Arthur.

Getting rid of Kearney was the right move, he is defiantly worse than Mr Arthur.

Well they did get caught cheating. That's the incompetence bit. But they had the right idea, just like ours when we cheated. That 2016 side was building to be a genuine contender.

Dude, I am talking about the fans that wont be there. Namely Eels fans...like me. I most certainly would have been there if our team was doing well.

They got caught at the right time and the risk paid off.

We might have been so lucky but the fighting factions put their own self interest ahead of the club's.
