Round 10 v Warriors @ WIN Wollongong

“2-3 seasons is plenty of time and I would also remind that you no one on the forum suggested Flanagan needed more time than this from the beginning, nor should they now.”

There it is 2/3 seasons is enough , I agree but you want him punted now. You are death riding him and the club. Guess what if he is unsuccessful it will be another 3/4 years at least before we have any success.

First of all, congrats to Loko Jnr on being named for his debut. I hope he absolutely kills it, and he will if any inspiration is taken from his other debutant team mates this year.

I know the thread has been hijacked with commentary on Flanno & the rest of the selectios, and I'm about to listen to the Red V podcast where I can see they might be unloading on this as well...

But I will say this... when is the front office going to actually accept responsibility for their failings in managing our roster, recruitment & retention? The clock is very much ticking in this respect now (we have two expansion clubs due to come in over the next three years). Unless things change here soon, we will be screwed for all eternity.

Someone like Aaron Bellamy would be an interesting prospect as a future coach... but, if he is anything like his father, he isn't even going to entertain the idea of coaching a club that hasn't got it's roster management together (i.e. we would need a similar Frank Ponisi type GM - Ben "Puppet for the BoD" Haran ain't going to cut the mustard).

Great post. I'm sure you will be on a few ignored list but people can't handle the truth. And it's on record that the senior players at the sharks completely disregarded Flannos gameplans during the GF year it's on the podcast with James Graham. He got lucky he had the players he had all in their prime

Thanks mate, I wasn't aware of that podcast until I read one of your posts the other day, great info!

It's a good one, all the GF stories are. Jimmy has done well especially after all his concussion trouble he can interview well.

Aaron Bellamy is a real interesting prospect and I didn't even think of him until yourself and imhornby mentioned him. As it stands Flanno is our coach until the end of next year but the drums will be beating if we miss the 8 and start next year poor. No more excuses

Anyways I hope we win this week, not too many team changes but maybe some late ins who knows. Happy for Loko he deserves his chance and it's good he can build into 2026 if he stays healthy and plays well.

Sounding a little insecure there, never agreed with someone on the forum ?
