I think this needs to happenI agree mate. I’d be playing him as a running 5/8 and prioritising going to market for a half with a good kicking game. Move young Flanno or Marshke to 14.

Oh Jesus don’t bring this into existence - he’s ordinary + not an upgrade at allSean O'Sullivan not getting a game with the Dolphins. He's a good organiser and would be a decent half while we sorted our sh*t out.
Couldn't agree more. It must be so easy for opposition teams knowing that on any 5th tackle, there are 12 players they don't need to worry about.Despite a positive outlook pre-game I guess I was right "It's the bloody weather that's the biggest worry "
We didn't adapt at all, same game plan, same ineffective, lame 5th tackle kicks to the fullback. What was Hunt thinking? - It' a tired tactic that doesn't work in the dry.
I punished myself going through all the posts on this thread and reading some pretty depressing crap combined with sad facts.
The reality is coach F has made his bed with his commitment to Hunt as guaranteed Half/Captain. We have all seen what we can achieve in attack when Hunt relinquishes more than a little ball to KFlan.
It's now up to Coach to get this through Hunt's thick scull. KFlan, may not be a super star but his game managing skills, including kicking, far out-weigh those of Hunt. Two active halves sharing first receiver roles in attack also has the defence in 2 minds.
It is absolutely pointless suggesting another 5/8 till Hunt learns to combine.
Simple maths, it takes two halves to make a whole! (attack)
Marshke was effective when he came on & has earned the 14 in the team.Did anyone realised marshke come on and defend better at centre than bird didsurely when flanno said at the presser “there’s lot more changes to come” he meant he’s dropping bird. I want to see tamale given a shot at centre with lomax out side him. Makes no sense to chuck lomax at centre if he ain’t there next year. May as well try out our replacement.
I agree with your first 2 statements but you are way off and never said anything of the sort to insinuate the last statementLast week we were so lucky to get the points against a team who completed at 69%
This week we went one better than them and completed at 65%
You might like to make out we were on fire last week but the true fans know what really happened. Please stop making excuses for your man the drug cheat coach.
In the trials there was a set where we went on the left - suli and then rava straight at the line. We did it again and both resulted in tries. We haven’t done it since.Couldn't agree more.

KFlan doesn't have to be brilliant - he just needs to be good enough (and he is) to present a viable alternative that keeps the opposition guessing.
Our left side is actually quite strong but even assuming they can't/don't score, the fact we'd be willing to throw it left makes space on the right.
The most baffling thing though is we did this in the trials and round one. And surprise, surprise: it worked.
Since then we've reverted to the same game plan from the last few years with the exact same result.
I'm sure even Paul Gallen and Robbie Farah look at our fearless leader and reckon he's a ball-hog.

Don't know why Jackson Ford was let go, look how he is going for the Warriors.I'd definitely be dropping Lawrie as well, I don't understand how he has as many NRL games as he does. The issue then becomes who comes in. Obviously Sele, but I don't like Michael Molo as a player at all either, so that means that two props need to drop out in my ideal scenario. I doubt it happens unfortunately, but I guess I'd bring in Sele and then maybe Toby Couchman in place of Lawrie and M Molo. Fifita doesn't seem capable of playing big minutes at the moment, so he probably isn't a realistic option in a prop rotation with only two props on the bench.
Different coach !!!! to what we had .Don't know why Jackson Ford was let go, look how he is going for the Warriors.
But Flanno was list manager in 2022.Different coach !!!! to we had .
