Another loss on the way
Last week dropped ball scoring a try and overlap luc bombing another.
What's in store this game.
Mates of mine have given up going to the game including me.
They would never miss a kogarah game and none of them will go and watch.
Asked to go to this game also but not to watch this rabble.
That says how screwed this club is.
Dont expect coach to be sacked on Tuesday..
Season is f**ked already.

Excruciating pressure on Shane Flanagan. Has lost 10 straight, his son was absolutely dreadful on Friday night v Manly, and the young gun Kade Reed tore it up in KOE Cup on Saturday. What to do? My guess is he will find a spot in the 17(19) for his son somewhere. The continued selection of Kyle Flanagan has become more than embarrassing, more than concerning, more that alarming. Earth to Mars, if there are any Shane Flanagan friends out there, please go and save your friend Shane. He's a decent fellow who has descended into a spiral and he needs saving. Forget the Dragons, go and look after your mate, and pull Shane out of the spotlight.

Turbo saved that try by knocking it out, Luc scored a try earlier which would've been called back if we weren't down by 16. You sound like Flanno

Rob, my sarco meter is not working, so I will take your comments about Shane as being truly supportive.
?? 😉
And admit that I hope SFlan survives the board meeting on Tuesday.
Else maybe Brownie.

But agreed, it's desperate times and Reed should come in to the team.
Kyle to 14.
Bring on Tuesday!!
A huge day for our season.

rob, heres a selection fix straight out of flannos play book
cook into centres
liddle hooker
kyle stays at 7
reed on bench ..
eventually kyle moves to hooker
reed comes on with probably 3 minutes left
flanno - at presser we are bringing reed on slowly and either we had the game won when i brought him on ( dreaming i know)
or reed didnt win us the game i told you he wasnt ready kyle is our best player as ive said week in week out !!!!

wouldnt mind betting cooks name is mentioned for a centre spot

I think he would have to go with:

1. Sloan
2. Tu
3. Cook
4. Holmes
5. Feagai
6. Atkinson
7. Kyle

As the starting backs.

Reed and possibly Fale on the extended bench.
Liddle is not an 80 min hooker (as yet).
So ideally,
Lids takes a break Kyle moves to 9 and Reed into the 7.
Alternatively, Cook could move to 9 with Kyle to centre and Reed to 7, but, we know he'll just bring on Fale to cover centre and leave Reed catching a cold on the bench.

So ideally,
Lids takes a break Kyle moves to 9 and Reed into the 7.

Why would you put Cook at centre? He's never started at centre in his life, and the only game I remember where he went to centre was an origin game which ended in a massive loss to NSW. I'd much rather give Fale a go, or bring back Feagai who at least knows how to play centre.

No matter who but cook especially will be burned defensively against their left edge. It’s dynamite.

1. Sloan
2. Tu
3. Feagai, Buchanan
4. Holmes
5. Fale

maybe even try
4. Fale
5. Holmes

Holmes has been poor, simplify his game on the wing like he did with Lomax.

Reed probably on the bench
I can't see Flanno putting him in over Kyle at the moment. depends what happens in that meeting.

Half of his problem is persisting with the players like Cook and not making changes even though it's not working.
What's wrong with starting Liddle and have Cook on the bench to give Liddle a rest later in the game, he hasn't even tried it. he needs to at least make some adjustments.

We may not have the roster but Flano is not even making possible changes 0-6 this year and he has only made forced changes, what does it take.

Ever since the Mary days, this club and all its coaches have placed most value on experience. They don't value form. They don't value skills. They don't value fitness. They don't value speed. They don't value enthusiasm. I don't know why or where it comes from but experience is what matters to them most. So yes, Flanno will persist with Cook over Liddle. He'll persist with Kyle over Reed. He'll persist with Holmes over Feagai. He'll persist with Guler and Lawrie over Halangahu & LPT. He'll play Gutho instead of Sloane unless there's no choice.

And we will yet again run out onto the playing field with the oldest and slowest line-up in the comp.
