I remember as a season ticket holder in late 80's and fans would say they tried hard, to me that dosent cut it.
I also worked with a player who had come across from the Dogs to us in the 90's he spoke of the same issue Dogs was just about winning, wasn't the same here.
I lol at it like this they are in the team I expect them to play as if it's the last game they ever play, and if they play for a state or country and seem to put more in, straight away questions need to be asked

Speaking press conferences... Did anyone see Flannos press conference after the Dargons v Eels game yesterday where he said "We lost 3 games in a row at the Sharks in 2016 too and went on to win 15 in a row". What is he trying to say there? Is that his way of reminding people that he is a premiership winning coach so as to squash any talk of his credentials?

yeah pretty much

flanno doesnt have the ability to recognise that the team he had in 2016 is light years ahead of the team he has now at every single position.

a laughable thing to say, said by a desperate idiot

He didn't say the first three, just that they lost three in a row.
Happened between rounds 22 and 24.

But it's not what he said :
"We lost 3 games in a row at the Sharks in 2016 too and went on to win 15 in a row"

Aaaaah. The devil is in the detail.
I didn't read the end part of that.

You're right.
These three losses are actually what broke the 15 game streak.

Not all world class, but all shone consistently in good shark sides and held their own when the game was more brutal.
True nippy number 7's who had the skills to move a team forward and around the park.
Many won major awards.
