Minus 100 yeah with Young as defence coach.

The head coach is flano full stop
The buck stops with him
If he thinks Deano is not doing his job he should sack him
Now you need to read my post
I did not say don’t sign flano
I am Clearly saying if you bothered to read my post (instead of seeing saintmar and assuming I am anti flanno as some on here allude to ), that he has not yet earned an extension
We were mediocre last year and finished BELOW hooks achievments of 2022
That's no major achievement
Our pd was shit - 100 that’s a FACT
All i am saying is just wait and see how we go before we give an extension
If we improve to a top 6 and above then give him an extension
Flano has his team now so it’s time to produce the results
We should not be making excuses anymore
It’s now or never
What possible Excuses can we accept if we fail this year ?
If you remember when he signed he wrote off 2024 (which I thought was real strange at the time) but promised 2025 will be a different story
I fail to see why we should not be demanding to make the top 6 In 2025
That is not success that is still just a bit above average
Penrith supporters would be hysterical with laughter at the acceptance of such mediocre results by people on this forum
Seriously do you people ever want to WiN the comp?
You only breed success by making people hungry to succeed
You give Flano an extension now and it sends the wrong signal,just like it did with the Mary extensions.

I think he just gets pocket money from Dad.

Sorry Fitzy doesn't have any decent offspring of his own.

What,???

I think I’ve gotten to the state that I likely see your name and think that too

but most of what say seems fine, and you constructed a good response, so here’s my thoughts

1) flip flopping between coaches means constant rebuilding and problems. The change from Mary to hook and hook to Flanno are classic examples. Coaches shouldn’t be signed unless you’re willing to give them time to really show their worth. For this reason I’m a little slower than some to call for changes (though maybe not with hook)
2) I don’t and didn’t expect a coach to come in and turn our rabble into premiers in 1 or 2 years. I need to buy into the dream though. Which means I need to see positive changes.
3) like many, I’m really excited by Flanno. Your statement on points differential and position are correct, but I think most of us look past this. We have seen what feels like a proper rebuild. We see the players getting fit and talking better about the club, we see changes in personnel that are positive. We hear more news and see positive changes.
4) if the alternatives were much better, I could understand signing a coach like Bellamy or Bennet prematurely, but we have a proven coach and there is nobody close in the open market. He shows all the signs and it’s time to bank on him!
anyway, that’s my 2cents
