Magic Rd Tigers

[KingFlanno7]

May and Hunt will tear us a new one up the middle. We will get flogged this week, hate being this negative but honestly we are horrible and the coaches have to take some accountability for once. Galvin and Luai will absolutely cook us and poor LKT is going to have so much pressure on him this week because he knows that Kyle won't get blamed for nothing. Thought Flanno was better then this but I'm agreeing with a few posters who talk about nepotism it's becoming way to easy to see now and it wouldn't surprise me if Flanno and Kyle both end up jobless by the end of next year or earlier.

You need to relax KF7. Yes the performance the other day was horrible and not acceptable BUT before we go on a massive rant, the players deserve the chance to respond this week. Overall this year they have been much better and defensively pretty decent. Hopefully they bounce back this week. If not then go for gold and rip the team a new one

I'm more optimistic this game. Our young forwards bring a lot of enthusiasm to the side, and we have enough firepower in our backs to score tries. In contrast some of our more experienced players are achieving mediocrity. Old Flanno needs to get players like Guler, Luc and Klemmer revved up because they should be shredding sides. Liddle should be playing more minutes than Cook because Cook has been bog average for mine. No objection if Ilias is dropped, too often he looks like a roo in the spotlight. And young Flanno isn't a dynamic ball running 5/8, so maybe try him at half.

Of course being magic round, Klemmer will probably try and take someones head off leaving us a man down and costing us victory.

Having read the last few posts I am expecting the Dragons to look like pin cushions after the Tigers game, as they are going to "rip us a new one" so many times! Hopefully the boys pack plenty of bandaids.

Tend to agree.
I thought we missed Stewart’s link playing & work rate plus losing Egan to injury as well didn’t help. Hopefully both are fit for this week.

 

[justadragon]

honestly, can we make an eleventh hour offer for Galvin

Galvin/Atkinson then we can talk about winning games that matter

Good idea, but do you really want to deal with his manager.

Can't we put Ilias on the bench in case LKT is a deer in the headlights and not ready? It makes me nervous

 

[Gardenia]

We need to have a good look at their halfback. Iffer him a contract.

I agree Possm

Replace one deer with another deer? Oh dear

When did Egan get injured on Anzac Day ?

Come on I don't need your permission on when to "Rip the team a new one" it's just my opinion after all. They couldn't respond to last year's 60plus defeat on ANZAC day what makes you think they will respond this week? It's not good enough simple as that

 

[jeffdragon]

Yes like Amone passive in attack.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Another big game with big crowds. Saints will cop a hiding or lead most of it and find a way to lose it in the end. That is just what they do on the big occasions.

 

[KingFlanno7]

We have only won 3 games this year plus an early bye if we lose this weekend we could be equal 2nd last. Only thing saving us at the moment is our F/A which took a hit last week. I wouldn't say this year has been much better apart from keeping the scorelines closer.. we lost to Parra of all teams. Next 4 weeks Tigers, Warriors,Broncos and Knights.. If we can't win 3/4 or even 2/4 we will be on track for our first spoon not for a top 8 spot we haven't come close to deserving yet. Love to be as positive as some but I just can't see it rose coloured glasses are well and truly off now

Not sure when or what but the commentators said he sustained an injury which is probably the reason for his lack of game time in the second half.
I thought he’d been hooked.

Kyle gets a pass mark apparently.. guarantee if his dad wasn't the head coach he wouldn't get this many chances.

I agree, it wasn’t good enough but everyone has a bad day at the office every now and then including you, me and everyone else in here, just like the players.

Let’s see how they respond, that’s all I’m asking. There’s only so many times you can chop and change players.

So are you suggesting Flanno replace Kyle and Lachlan in one hit and replace them with LKT and Glover. That’s a huge disaster just waiting to happen. Then what if they both struggle??
