Flanno's New Signings

[Auntie.Gerald]

One word = DRAMA

the papers love it

Ben also doesn’t seem to be absent in the script writing either

About that, but it would only take me 1hr to rectify the deficiencies in Sloans tackling techniques where his lack of size wouldn't be an issue.
That is, simple physics in the body's motion, sometimes you use your motion sometimes you use theirs.

You should head down to pre-season training slip!

Its deadset amazing how nearly every journo (not on leave) is fixated with where Ben Hunt will be next year. Yesterday afternoon SEN spent half an hour on the topic - with interview grabs, callers ringing in offering alternatives. The entire thing must have been rehearsed as it was choreographed to a tee. All designed to unstabilise the Dragons. Meanwhile very little on the antics of other 'protected' clubs.
The Sandon Smith issue does make the press but it doesn't seem to get any extended airplay. The Rooster loving prominent journo's are very quiet.
Back to Ben Hunt - Flanno must hold firm - he stays with us in 2025 unless another team offers an acceptable alternative player. I don't care that he will not be resigned in 2026.

Strength & Honour!

Yeah do you honestly think, they have meetings before the show to see how they can unstabilise the Dragons and protect other clubs, like seriously are they plotting everyday to do this, its nothing more than talking about the current dramas that are happening when there are no games on, there is no agenda by SEN to do anything to us.

They had audio grabs from numerous journos lined up. Such actions have to be planned. They guys arn't that good to be able to select audio grabs at any time to suit the narrative.
Another day another article by Brent Read - Dragons risk being labelled hypocrites!
More articles on the Dragons to deflect any talk of Sandon Smith.

He`s what ...21 ? not every player is born with the mongrel in them or have the mongrel in them at that age. He`ll toughen up, it`ll come with a bit more maturity. I think you grow up pretty fast playing NRL.

Of course the program is planned, they have a producer who plans the show, has interviews lined up, bits and pieces that they require for the show but to think there is a conspiracy out to get the Dragons and no one else is tin foil stuff.

Get him healthy, he’s a goer.

No but your born with a set,he is scared of contact please tell me when you get mongrel. I can't watch him again next season if he doesn't have a go

I remember @blue bags suffered from Aggravated Thyroidal Fetlock ligament damage back in ‘08.

He spent many hours bouncing on one leg on the trampoline -whilst wiggling the effected limb in front of him -trying to get it right.

Looks quick post-injury. That is that Weekes kid chasing him.

The player who amazes me is Dufty. As we probably all know, knees usually get messed up when players are decelerating and changing direction. So given the stresses Dufty had to have been putting on his knees, where are the injuries? I suppose he had really good training practises.

Good insight.

Love the fist pump when he gets away from Weekes, but what about the commentator: "after 400 hundred years out", watching too many vampire movies maybe.

 

[TheRev]

We still need to land 2-3 'proper' players, but beyond that we are likely to be having to fill spots like Rava and Ramsey etc with some 'filler', but hopefully filler that could surprise us.

Definietly puts you ahead but I've seen the result from "Kids" with no Ticker who get excited & confident when they pull off some amazing tackles after it's demonstrated to them about the direction the physical force needs to be applied or guided to imobilise the ball runner.

Totally agree with your assessment on dufty, but the weight the knees are supporting you would think would come into it.

Yeah I’m predicting another entertaining and enigmatic pre-season for SGI.

It should be a better run this year because Flanno will have more options.

And the whispers about the talents of some of your juniors are being muttered around the game. I’m not up to speed, but I’ve heard you’ve got a handful of great kids ready to emerge.

One thing I like about Flanno, he wants to win here and now.

Hopefully Corey is ready

I haven’t kept up with the Bunt news unfortunately. I can’t stand him tbh.

And pre season club and coach statements, they tend to tell as a lot about the ambitions. Cats are let out of the bag.

All systems go!
