Looks like the Broncs cant handle pressure either, cant wait to see that flog walter's face not making the finals

 

[justadragon]

Another year with no Dragons side in finals, what a total f$#k up.

 

[RedVDave]

We couldn't beat the team coming dead last with their 3 best players out with nothing to play for, whilst we had spot in finals on the line ladies I gentlemen I give the definition of pitiful.

 

[Saints supporter]

The only positive out of this is that it must be obvious to Flanno where the weak links are in his roster and who folds first under pressure. I think he is the man to remove those lacking the skill and resilience to take this group to the next level.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

I don’t know about you blokes. But watching the broncos get pumped makes it slightly better

Same here Justa,

It was just stupid to come out and say, "we will make the finals".

Just full of himself.

Yep totally agree mate, only Walter's could be such an idiot especially playing a WB side.

NRL Round 26 Press Conference: Eels vs Dragons | Dragons

Hear from Shane Flanagan and Ben Hunt in the aftermath of the side's Round 26 defeat.

www.dragons.com.au

Flanno is devastated.

Not that there are any positives - but I am at least pleased Flanno showed some emotion in that press conference. Apologised to fans and he seemed shattered and let down. First Dragon's coach I've seen in ages that actually looks like he cares. I will probably contribute more thoughts on the game and team tomorrow but for now I'm off to the kitchen to drown my significant sorrows with some gin and tequila cocktails.

To the very few players who had a dig today - thank you.

To the players who disgraced the Red V today - at the top of the list our supposedly "marquee" captain Hunt - go F&%K yourselves you soulless merkins.

 

[hewi]

Turned it off at half time, I was gutted. Feel for Flanagan , the players have zero pride, taking money under false pretences. Hunt and Ravalawa can piss off don’t care what we pay them never want to see them in the red V again.

Yep,
We suck but they suck more.

 

[LenyB]

Pretty hard when i had to start work. But yeah, hope you feel proud of yourself.

Wah

 

[SaintElroy]

I was at the game.
I cried for 60 mins
Then laughed the rest. I’m still laughing. Funniest game I have ever seen

 

[Gardenia]

Flanno said it all on the presso. Unless he goes to the local a grade and gets some players he won’t be making any changes!!!
we simply don’t have the roster
We have very little resources
NRL
Thr game of the haves and have nots

 

[denis preston]

If I were any of the Dragons players I'd be giving Flanno a wide berth for a few days, the PC said it all.

He will be spending most of his time now not coaching but on recruitment !

He will be spending most of his time now not coaching but on recruitment !

Get rid of Dean Young please

Well said !

‘It’s more than recruitment it’s getting rid of the dead wood. Rava and Hunt been the first two and I don’t care who he recruits to replace them.

 

[SAP58]

Get rid of Dean Young please

If Flanno doesn’t think he can do the job he will.

 

[hewi]

We can’t get confused, only getting beat by four points — it was a disgraceful first half,” Flanagan said. “I apologise to the Dragons’ fans, sponsors, everyone. It was just not good enough.

“I’ve got to take ownership for that, it was just not good enough for the Red V jersey. That first 40 minutes was just not acceptable.
Asked if it was more frustrating that the Dragons shot themselves in the foot, Flanagan said: “Yeah, exactly.

“We were terrible, absolutely terrible. Looked like our first day together.”

While the final 10 minutes completely changed the game as the Dragons ran in five unanswered tries to almost pull off the most incredible comeback in NRL history, Flanagan said it didn’t hide the fact the performance was “unacceptable”.

“The first half wasn’t acceptable for this jersey, and we need to be accountable for it,” Flanagan said. “The score in the end, it gave us hope ‘you only got beat by four’ — nah, I’m not going to cop that.”

Flanagan again apologised but said to fans “stick with us”.

Good for him, the players should collectively hang their heads in shame.

So basically remove the whole team?
