KOE (ex Canterbury Cup) and Jersey Flegg

[Desperate Dragon]

KOE cup 14/6 Rabbits 10 to half time. Sorry got here late. Great ground thou

Ben Rumble a try on debut after 10 minutes.
Hewi, will be interested to hear how he and a few of the young forwards perform today.

 

[hewi]

OMG this is awful, from the kickoff couple of offloads and length of the field try 24/6 half time. This team is a far cry from 4 weeks ago.

 

[hewi]

Gee Moga is a big unit. I would love to see him play as a back rower but doesn’t look fit enough.

 

[hewi]

Another length of the field try to south’s, just not fit 30/6

 

[hewi]

Nice try set up by Herring, he is very impressive. 30/12

 

[hewi]

14 to go Rabbits in again on the fifth, we are bad. Two offloads in one tackle , scored off the last because we can’t or won’t tackle. 36/12

 

[hewi]

I can’t believe what I am seeing . Herring does a beautiful 12 meter line drop out, south’s let it bounce no Dragons attack the ball south’s pick it up and score FFS.

 

[hewi]

6 to go 44/12. Truly horrible I wish I hadn’t come.

 

[KogarahWarrior]

Hope it's not a preview of firsts. Disappointed in the boys.

disgraceful effort by JF and KOE, Flanno has his hands full getting these grades back in order.

 

[twinkletoes]

The whole club is a shambles from women to juniors to KOE to first grade…. Management should be ashamed to take their pay…. and if everyone believes that 1 man can turn all that around they are kidding themselves

 

[baggygreen man]

Interest in Hunt has hit a brick wall but Flanagan still wants him. Why? He has had a mediocre season to go with several others over the past six years, so what makes Flanagan think the next two wont be more of the same, hello coach he is a has been now. Please someone make an offer for the over rated, over paid, disloyal ****** and give the club a chance to make a new beginning.

 

[TheRev]

JF & KOE were on a real role a few weeks back.. its really fallen over.. the 1st grade injuries havent helped, the sides are chopping and changing and quality is dropping out.. obviously our opposition teams experience this also..

The better our lower grades get though, the easier we manage that flow of injuries up and down the grades..

Probably the big thing here, is there is no easy fix.. this is a huge job... if its even possible to pull off..

 

[twinkletoes]

Unfortunately the club is leaving the whole fix to one person which is physically impossible….. all the other bludgers who have been there for years are still there just bludging…they’ll be no improvement till these back room boys are moved on which I can’t see happening. Once again Flannaghan is being setup for failure

 

[Dragon David]

Players are just not good enough is what it is! All grades now have hit a brick wall and although the players are trying their best in games, they are no match against many of the clubs in the competition. Flanagan is not a magician and his main job will be to get the first grade guys to at least win a few more games rather than be worried about the lower grades and the women.

Unfortunately, I just cannot see us any better next year if we do not get better cattle to fill first grade and the left overs to battle for a position in the KOE Cup. Our development has not progressed well enough I don't think. I'm hoping that it is only our fitness overall that needs enhancement.

This is my fear too, hopefully Shane can have a bit more input on the pathways coaching and selections, but the bloke hasnt even started his official gig yet.. and he's supposed to fix everything that maybe 50 or 100 staff couldn't?It needs a change of approach across the entire organisation,, thats some bluddy big boots.... just hope 1st grade goes ok so the knives stay off him for 2024.

yep... the only thing we can hope for is that Manly don't play finals. That way we get Flanno a few weeks earlier.

They wont, I think they have fallen in a heap as well.

This baffles me as well. Flanagan hasn’t officially got a wage from us yet is doing work that Haran & Millward are responsible for ? I wish this means the board have sacked them with announcements after seasons end but that’s not their style is it ?
