I’m guilty of death riding him for his one dimensional play but it’s not helping when we don’t have one of our hookers being able to kick low and long much like a Harry Grant or Ben hunt. It’s all well and good to have some short bursts out from dummy half from Cooky and lids but if we could get them both to kick to set up a 40/20 then Gee wiz that would take the pressure of flan jr.

So if someone tries his guts out and performs quite well thats good enough to be picked every week?

Wow mediocrity is rampant at our once great club if people are happy with that
Mate… there’s no one better currently and all the trash talk just brings the club down… there are plans in place to address the situation… wyoure pro ably one of the ones who wants Flano sacked and replaced with who ?? Deano no doubt… people like you just like to criticise for the sake of it but have no better suggestions… makes you feel important in life.. hahaha

This thread is about Kyle, not Shane, im also not sure how Dean Young gets a mention either... how is that relevant to the fact Kyle is not 1st grade standard and would not be getting a run at any other nrl club apart from maybe the Knights who have brown on the way next year so thats a big maybe

I always laugh when people throw around the “accept mediocrity” line with footy clubs.
Do people accept mediocrity in other aspects of their life?
Do you live in a mediocre house? Have a mediocre job? Accept a mediocre fitness level and have a mediocre diet etc etc?
But god forbid we accept mediocrity with our football team!

Have we had as many halves combos as the Roosters last 6 seasons ?

The halves draw so much attention week in week out........ yet seem in the main to be on a ferris wheel between grades and clubs.......unless you in the top8 or so in the comp.......even then ??

2020, the main pairing post CCronk was Luke Keary and Flanno
2021/22 Keary and Sam Walker became the primary pairing.
2023, injuries to Keary and Walker saw other players like Drew Hutchison step in.
2024, Walker and Keary were again the main pairing, but Walker also missed time due to injury, with othrs filling in
2025, Sam Walker and Chad Townsend were set to be the starting halves, but Walker is sidelined due to an ACL injury..........significant change early season to Sandon Smith and Savala mainly featuring
Rodwell and Elliot not far behind and in the wings.

Next ?

Which mediocre reserve grade half do you suggest replacing him with for the rest of 2025? You’ll still be getting mediocrity. Pick a different hill to die on. The forwards perhaps?

Congratulations on making a post without some passive aggressive comment in it, champion!

As usual this is just a plain dumb comparison and post by yourself and we're all dumber for having read it.

Any danger of you pissing off back to your JA forum or is it not as good as what you hoped?

The way things are going for us in the player market - it wouldn't surprise me if Chad Townsend became a desperation signing for us this coming off season.
