FCD I can guarantee you Flanno is not just the defensive coach.He's the defence coach and 9s is a totally different structure. As I have stated earlier I think the main reason we are going well is fitness. They do look noticeably more fit this season. That hard arse trainer is really making his mark. That coupled with the fact that we have some great young juniors which hopefully now they have been shown off will be harder and harder for Mary to leave out of the team now. If we string a few losses together pressure will come from Flanno and from the public about giving Aitken and Lafai a solid stint in reserves.
Dragsters he 7kg lighter than last year.
Im not sticking up for Mary but for the past few seasons we have led the comp up until halfway though the season. Its the adaptability to go a full season where Flanno will help and hopefully a bit of luck with injury.FCD I can guarantee you Flanno is not just the defensive coach.
Whilst I haven’t seen Flano at the tournament i believe he has had a significant impact on this team already. It really frustrates me to see our inferior So called head coach at the tournament who will no doubt now come out & take all the accolades from our performance.
Don’t disagree FCD but if you look at our draw, hopefully our head coach will be no more after round 7 !Im not sticking up for Mary but for the past few seasons we have led the comp up until halfway though the season.

We can only hope but with us signing an assistant that cant take the head role it looks unlikely. I actually think we will go okay this year even with Mary as coach with the new staff if a bit of luck goes our way.Don’t disagree FCD but if you look at our draw, hopefully our head coach will be no more after round 7 !
I would have much rather we gave the Feagai brothers and SSE a run in the 9's instead of Aitken, Lafai and Nightingale. If they were given a shot, then one or more of them may have put their hand up for a centre spot. But Mary didn't even give them the opportunity to show that we may have better options than Aitken and Lafai. I actually think the Feagai brothers would have performed better at the 9/s than Aitken and Lafai. I will add that Aitken and Lafai have shown sweet FA in the 9's.The fact the Feagais didn't get named in the 9s though says to me they are probably at least 3rd in the pecking order. Unfortunately probably behind, Aitken, Lafai, Sailor, Wiliame, and probably even Fuimaono for a centre spot. I wouldn't have named Aitken or Lafai in the 9s we have seen enough of them and its our younger faster guys making an impact.
After VK scores his try again proving Aitken is shit the camera panned out to Nighty who just shook his head as he lowered his eyes and he said f**k
Hasn’t played for how long and still in awe of Aitken’s lack of ability to read a simple play
Priceless
That is just bizarre, this is probably the hardest game. I hope there isn't more to it.Tyson is out of the semi.
They are resting him

Yep Master stroke MarySounds like a mcgregor thing to do.
I mean like he's signed with the Knights.That the official word. Hopefully he hasn't got an injury. But they did say he would be available for the final if we make it of course
