While they are certainly seeming like one of the top sides this year, i wouldn't say they have been all that consistent either. Their losses against Manly and Cowboys were pretty bad, they have also still been giving sides leads they shouldn't be (though I guess that is consistent with them isn't it).
Maybe this power triumvirate has been sold to the Super League empire
I thought he spoke pretty well at the press conference. His reasons for giving Illias a break in reserve grade made sense, he spoke well about reasons why Lachlan was struggling and he even admitted that he wasn’t sure if it was the right call and that they would find out on the weekend. All you want from the coach is forthrightness. I also like that Flanno seems prepared to gamble a bit this year with some of the young players coming through. Last year he was forced to play LKT in the final few games. This time around he is picking him because he thinks it’s best for the team. He seems genuinely excited about the young crop of players we have at the club.
Couldn’t agree with your sentiments more, let’s all wish LKT the best as he launches a long and successful career with the red V, and that other juniors follow him through.
LKT will at least offer some variation to our attack.
Also he will run into the line , something our halves don't do other than catch and pass .......
Honestly Flanno is taking the piss out of us fans right now. Not going to be negative about tonight but I tell you what Kyle better have an absolute cracker and help LKT control the game because if he doesn't what does Flanno do? Drop Kyle? No chance LKT will cop all the criticism and if we win Kyle will get all the praise it's unbelievable. I hope we win obviously but this is a danger game and could see our season spiral downhill real quick. Keen to see young LKT, I don't expect the world from him I just hope he backs himself and has a go especially with a handbrake of a halves partner to rely on.
Surprised he’s playing DeBelin off the bench but let’s see.
I much prefer De Belin starting off the bench. He strengthens the team for the 10 mins before and after half time and is stronger during the final 15 mins of the game. The key is to play tight in the first 15 mins and not allow the opposition to score 1-2 tries.
