It is very easy for us fans to play musical chairs, but Flanno is a hardened coach, and he doesn make rash decisions.. I cant see him paying overs for anyone hes not very very sure about.. Wishart I think is a hell of a player, as a 6 sure, 7 I think he might get there.. but you'd be risking it all to pay him overs.Wishart is not the answer, we'll all be very disappointed if we go down that route. Did an okay job filling in for a bit this year, that's it. We need a genuine half who can control a game, kicks well in general play and organise a team. Wishart is not the man
Let's hope so BLM01. This off season has to be the one that sets the tone for a successful 2025. No pussy footing around - just if you don't cut it, you are out. Get as fit and as strong physically and mentally as you have never been before. Run the length and breadth of those beautiful south coast beaches. No flabby bellies anymore. Learn more skills and train everyday to use those skills like the back of the hand.If you go back and listen to Flanno last year when first questioned he only ensured Hunt would be here this year not to the end of 2025 contract as things were going to be revisited at the end of this year
I see a lot happen over this off season.
8 Mill = what has been our return, no game management, no leader, no inspiration, and certainly no mentor !!! And yet some say he will sook on if we strip him of the captaincy, which In my opinion should have been done after he wanted to leave.I think his position is untenable TBH.
I dont believe Flanno was blindsided. He knew but you have to come out with only positive talk publicly otherwise you risk crushing what ever brittle mental state our team and club was already in.Let's hope so BLM01. This off season has to be the one that sets the tone for a successful 2025. No pussy footing around - just if you don't cut it, you are out. Get as fit and as strong physically and mentally as you have never been before. Run the length and breadth of those beautiful south coast beaches. No flabby bellies anymore. Learn more skills and train everyday to use those skills like the back of the hand.
Make sure that all negativity of the previous season are purged from the mind and more positive thoughts brought into the mindset. Leave all doubts behind.
Train to improve the attack and defence like no other off season.
Stay focussed.
Flanno has a bigger job than he thought. Making sure that the right personnel is at the club to do the coaching and getting the right players to carry perform consistently well. Getting the right players is crucial. Not just anyone to make up the numbers but some really decent ones who can make a massive difference on game days not like the Bhunt.
Looking forward to seeing what is around the corner now.
Go the Dragons in 2025.
Na the media blowing it up although it was a possibly before the spray anywayOne can only hope !!!!
Disagree. Naturally a 6 from juniors.Wishart is not the answer, we'll all be very disappointed if we go down that route. Did an okay job filling in for a bit this year, that's it. We need a genuine half who can control a game, kicks well in general play and organise a team. Wishart is not the man
brisbane would 100% pounce and get him to play 9 IMOI cannot see Ben Hunt being chased by any other club now. His value has plummeted and other coaches can now see that he isn't worth 2 bob.
He dominates possession in attackHow is a halfback so bad leading the league in try assists and that with a backline of slugs just asking
Please let it be so![]()

Yep, spring and summer clean out and silly seasons before the autumn of 2025 being the time when we make our claim to be top 8 material once again.I know it's cliche - but this coming off/pre-season will be the toughest and most crucial ever.
This club no longer has the luxury of time.
We have more expansion clubs coming within the next 3-5 years. They will be targeting our nursery looking for players who they can build their first squads around, and players whom otherwise would not be getting an opportunity with us. The NRL won't want these expansion teams to fail.
We have to get our roster balanced by no later than 2026 - with a mix of a couple of solid marquees (be it homegrown or from outside the club), solid first graders, and juniors who will be transitioning from rookies to becoming regular first graders.
I feel like we have all the ingredients to make this happen, but as we have seen, there are a couple of 'expired ingredients' still to be thrown out & replaced in the otherwise bare pantry. The spring clean needs to be hard and ruthless (Hunt among several others including certain people in the backroom + support staff).
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting sick of being told to 'hang in there', 'things will be okay you'll see', 'you're not loyal to your team' etc. If we can't make a resounding improvement in our results soon, I feel that people are going to start walking away. I really don't know what the answer will be?
