Flanno's New Signings

[KingFlanno7]

Yep as long as D. Young doesn't get the job .......

He is part of the problem if anything. Flanno obviously thinks he is a good assistant which is mind boggling but he won't get the top job no chance

 

[I'm Hornby]

Who's narrative is this? As if Flanno's tenure is all hinging on a round 10 game. Pure and utter crap. This bullshit keeps getting brought up by the Flanno haters after each loss. The cone of silence after each win is deafening. Flanno won't lose his job, in fact, he will be extended. The only thing that worries me is if Flanno decides to move on due to the shit board he has to work with. Having to agree to have D Young as his senior assistant coach is just more moronic management from arguably the worst board in footy land.
How do you soar like an Eagle, when surrounded by turkeys

You're a classic apologist mate.

"The cone of silence after each win is deafening" - Pal there's been more losses than wins under Flanagan so far. Most of our wins under him have been less than convincing and not much to get excited about, they are most just about papering over the growing cracks.

"He will be extended"
- Wow big call, I'm not sure how you can be so confident. So far there is no upward trend in performances year on year. To earn an extension you'd at least want to see improvement each season. As KF7 has stated, based on last year's efforts, for Flanagan to earn an extension, a minimum 8th place finish this season would be required. Let's see how close we get and what eventuates, but to say he will be extended as if it's a sure thing is just naive and foolish.

"The only thing that worries me is if Flanno decides to move on"
Hahahaha what rubbish. If he wants to move on I'll help him pack his bags and drive him to wherever he were to land. I would ask you to rack those tiny brains back to before Flanagan was handed a third chance at coaching by the Dragons. He was not wanted by any other clubs as a head coach in anything other than an assistant coach capacity. That speaks for itself, doesn't it? To date his performances at the dragons would make him about as in demand as his three predecessors are for head coaching roles at the moment. He is absolutely zero chance of being offered anything else in the NRL unless he can drastically reverse course.

"Having to agree to have D young as assistant"
He was a desperate man and made many concessions to get the role and couldn't wait to bring his son in, as soon as he got here. That was his lack of foresight. When Ryles was in the frame he demanded all the changes to management that us fans have been screaming out for. Flanagan didn't care about making these demands, he tried to convince himself and us supporters that he could fix this mess by himself. That is firmly his fault and will play a part in his eventual undoing and so it should.
If he wanted to soar like an eagle, then he should've used his initial employment as an opportunity to bring about change for the greater good of the club.

Juniors don't fall in your lap if you don't play them.

Flanagan plays the juniors because he has to not because he wants to.

What I mean by this is that due to his inept recruitment in the forwards, he has had to give all the younger forwards a run. You can be assured that if he lasts in to next season, he will sign some more inept forwards this off season that will then block pathways of some of the younger guys who have been introduced this season.

Secondly, Flanagan is playing many of them out of position. Whilst the Couchman brothers who look the most promising in my opinion, are good young forwards, they should not be playing front row and being used as battering rams. Ryan is now injured for the season and Toby's knee has been strapped heavily in most games since the early rounds. We're not getting the best out of either of them or others when they're not being introduced to first grade the way they should be.

But hey it's not as if Despo Flanno has even given two flying f**ks about player welfare, so who can be surprised by that?

Toby is definately playing through injury. Poor kid is getting needled up before every game he won't last the full year in the middle surely.

Great post. This is exactly my sentiment exactly.

“Flanagan plays the juniors because he has to not because he wants to”

In your opinion and of course we all know you have inside knowledge that we merely mortals are not privileged to. What garbage.

"Flanagan was forced to have Young as his senior assistant" seems a few of you have some nice insider knowledge aswell. Give yourself and uppercut

It's a simple fact, no inside knowledge required.

You have access to the same team sheets and rumoured signings that the rest of us do.

Had Flanagan managed to sign a few more of the forwards that he decided to play moneyball with during the off season and had he not mismanaged the relationship with Frank Molo, you would not be seeing most of these young guys getting a run this early in the year.

Sele and Guler will return soon to block some more pathways for these kids and Klemmer is already doing that much. I'm sure Lawrie will get another crack soon enough and never write off some of the pathway blockers from Flanagan's 1st season like RFM. Flanagan is always talking about adding more forwards and if/when that does happen, more pathways will be blocked.

He brought Illias in only to realise he should've just given LKT a run from the beginning and not bothered with Illias and let's not forget the classic and most obvious of Kyle pushing out Sullivan.

You can bury your head in the sand and pretend it's this amazing rebuild and injection of youth and then you'll be the first one upset when you see some of these kids back in NSW cup and signing for other teams.

 

[hewi]

He didn’t mis manage the relationship with Molo it was a comment from someone else, facts not fiction . Sullivan was impatient and wanted out IMO he had an attitude problem which he took to the Tigers with him, again not the coaches fault. Flanagan will live by the sword and die by the sword not by the likes of you death riding him.

Negative slant on a Flanno positive. Surprise, surprise

So much hate.....still with the childish insults kingflanno7 ....oops sorry I'm Hornby

 

[mattw5]

No chance he gets extended unless we make the 8. Then if we start next year badly he will be gone, hasn't earned an extension yet not even close. He has been blessed with a crop of juniors that fell in his lap. Starts today, if we don't perform the drums will start beating louder and louder

Dellusional he inherited a basket he case needs time!

Who do we go for if we sack him? Dean Young is certainly not the answer.

Idiot!

Who takes over then champ?

All the outside hype is that Young is a real coaching talent. In here - he is lucifer. Maybe the truth is somewhere in between…

 

[mattw5]

Proof is in the pudding you stick with a premiership winning coach look how Canberra are going could have punted Ricky a few times but held their nerve.

Flanno has done what we all wanted that previous coaches wouldn’t do give our juniors a go!

Great work trying to type 'idiot' twice. You're clearly a smart one, buddy.

Go back and read a few posts and you'll see a couple of us came up with a few options a few nights ago.

Flanagan isn't the be all end all, this is just dumb logic by a presumably dumb person.

Yeah good one, how many premierships has Ricky brought to Canberra in eleven seasons of coaching with a 52% win record?

If he is your yard stick then that is very sad.
