Flanno's New Signings

[Old Timer]

We wont get Sexton (dogs or broncs), Pezet as an Anasta kid also wont be coming here.. Fogarty I would love but again will be rly surprised if Raiders will let him go.. Cole I dunno if hes a man manager or a 6, if indeed penrith want to let him go and ride it all on Talagi?

I've noticed you have really polar views on potential players i.e. 'hard in' or 'hard out', but young halves always end up on the scrap-heap when a side struggle .. they are rejects until another coach picks them up and work to their skills.. and then everyone is shocked (aka Fogarty and Sexton), if we are going to replace Hunt it has to be a man manager rdy to go 'now', cant be a kid.... of all the roles in the team, a 7 I think is the one who has to be experienced.

LKT seems a pure 6 and getting better in cup but I would not be rushing the 19yr old.. I dont think it'll be good for his future or us.. that extra 12mths in nsw cup makes such a difference, but it wont solve our 7 problem anyway (unless its Kyle).

The answer isn’t Kyle

If he can’t dominate proceedings on the field when his dad is coach then he never will.

Handy roster player and that’s all.

He was let go by other clubs for a reason.

I noticed the Hunt brought out the ‘kick it dead’ kick. I was shocked that it seemed to me deliberate, I guess to have a set defence line???

Meanwhile Burton showed him how to kick and control field position for the second time this season.

3 years max please

looks like he will replace hunt in the overpaid compared to talent in the next 3 years
450k tops

Yeah record breaking try assists for Hunt…….but still perceived as the biggest problem at The Dragons ? Which he is not !

But rightfully called out…..his kicking game is his weakness vs the best in the comp.

Yet equally we don’t have a better option that will come to the club vs Hunt. So let’s build the other key players around that. Stop putting our head in the sand as supporters. We can’t attract better in the halves. That is all she wrote.

our forwards have so much work to do to be a true top8 through to top4 team

We just don’t do the 2009/10 grind out games through defence and then come over the top thru attack

the Dogs show incredible scramble in defence and dangerous attacking players

that game last night pissed me off

Again it's been proven all year that the team doesn't compete for the full 80 minutes.
We again 2nd half had no 2nd gear to come out in front of a sold out home game and fight to the end 0 points .

Lachlan ilias is available
miles ahead of Hunt for his organising game and kicking game and is a solid defender

Watching at the game last night … Hunt has no one to take the pressure off him… K Flan is a passenger and Sloan is still young and passive. If he is off his game, we have nobody to step into the void

With every club loss in the NRL fans always criticise their halves. Look at Reynolds when he was out injured Bronco fans were still criticising him when he was not even on the field. The old theory is very true the forwards have to be going forward to give the halves time and room to play well. When our forwards go well Hunt and Flanagan are instrumental in our win. Our forwards do get overwhelmed in crucial periods in our losing games. Flanno in who we trust has said numerous times we need at least one big front row bopper. If we can land that elusive marque front rower signature even better 2 of them with lots of go forward in them our many more wins will have us chasing a top 4 position.
Go the DRAGONS!

Hi injury is a bad one though

I had two mates I played Sydney premier league soccer with back in the day and they were never the same

one of the guys said it took 3 years to feel 90% healed

Was there pressure on him when he threw the intercept for the first try? What about when he kicked it dead?
Good halfbacks rise above pressure anyway.

You think the same as me VD, I most certainly agree.
