Flanno has already hit factory reset button but he cannot let go all the FG side in one go. It will be gradual. This is still Hook's team The backline apart from Flanno Jnr is Hook's team. Half the forwards still Hook's team. As I said earlier, we need a backline leader, a forward leader and a second top line hooker. That will start the reset.
I've said the same in the past but I've accepted that there's buckleys chance of going back to St George. I won't sit here and support another 5 years of this rubbish of St George Illawarra if it means playing dumb footy and treating it's fans like idiots. If Flanagan can't really improve us and then the gutless board end up replacing him with some average Joe that will definitely be my cue to switch sports or take up a new hobby. We are at a real pivotal moment as I see it.
He's not fit enough. The game is too fast for him.
So smug! So I'm guessing you're pleased with the result to justify your..... "I told you so"!?
Do you really think 8mins is too much? He needs to be in NSW Cup pushing out 50mins then.. I thought making him 18th man last week was a real over-site, we need this kid to be fast-tracked, hes well in front of our others but hes not getting any fitter doing 10mins a game on average.
You need to go back to the round table in Camelot and poor yourself a stiff drink.....
I've been thinking about this comment.. and the squad losing 120kg in the off-season (Leilua aside who wasnt here) was amazing.. but then if you think.. what if we had gone into that Pre-Season only needing to lose 10kg? Surely you end up with a lot more time spent on fitness/endurance.. and less on weight loss..
I understand coaches need to back their players and give them chances but I don't think this is what we need anymore.
What about a bartender
He doesn't even manage long stints in NSW Cup.
Its a real shit sandwich cause there isnt really any/many in NSW Cup that are even asking for selection... BMM one of the only ones.. this is the problem, unlike his time at the Sharks, Flanno hasnt been able to recruit jack sh** sadly.. the cap system is a complete mess.... it makes his job near impossible because how does he drop players if despite all his efforts.. and hes gone after almost everyone available.. he cant even secure ace cup players.. the one exception is Marshcke, a fallback from Volkman.. thats been his only real win.. even though I think RFM is a good reject to pick up also... but hes gone after dozens and dozens of players..
I have no idea and obviously one eye red and eye white..Jesus's mate I admire your confidence but I don't think my ticker will take the stress. I'll better alert the missus, have 000 on speed dial and have "°staying alive" playing in background!
No I'm disappointed, angry, and deflated.
