Round 10 v Warriors @ WIN Wollongong

[KingFlanno7]

Run home - Broncos, BYE, Knights, Dolphins, Sharks, Eels, Raiders, Roosters, Bulldogs, Cowboys, Raiders, Sharks, Warriors, Rabbitohs, Manly, Penrith. I can see us winning maybe 3 - 4 of these games the way we are playing and thats being generous. Season has been a disaster and it could get so much worse.

We needed to bt Tigers, Eels and yesterday.
And nothing.
Rather get flogged than lose by 1.

Knights, Eels, Dolphins, Manly and Rabbits are the only games I see us having a chance if they are off their game..

On abc radio.
They said Wahs know this year how to win games and we don't.
We are not winners.

A question was asked yesterday about the Assistant coach addressing the side at half time , Is it the norm ?
In our Case DY giving the half time chat
Watching the panthers cowboys clash later on , The Panthers assistant Ben Gardiner did just that With Ivan looking on..
When Mal was in charge of the Maroons in Origin , Neil Henry regularly did the half time speech
Might seem unusual but it does go on

Someones got to give the boys direction
Much improved second half

Watched high lights of the tries this morning kyle flanagan has his hands on knees on every try scored against us . Doesn't compete for the ball and always gets targeted in defence

you only have to watch the dynamic 5/8s like munster, brown, nilkorima, dearden, brooks etc. bring to their game and their team's attack unfortunately for us our 6 is a step down in grade and we can't close out a game for want of a more dynamic and agile 6 to control and direct attacking plays.

Put a fork in them, get the red pen out, the fat lady is singing.

Wow a lot changed in a week buddy.

Just wanted to comment on Sloan being left on the field with only one arm working ?? (personally, I don't want him out their at any time)
And then, they kick to his wing ??? not once, but twice ???? beggars belief ???

 

[sammymills]

We really need CT back on deck. I feel like we have lost a lot of strike with him being out.

Who were you replacing him with for the bulk of the game after he was injured? Sometimes coaches need to leave players out there even if they’re not 100%. Wing is not an easy position to substitute in the modern game.

Strike and energy. He brings something that every team needs enthusiasm

I think the Warriors simply did not come out the second half and the embarrassing thing is they still won. Saints were terrible in the first half. They improved the 2nd but were still poor overall. The halves are the most crucial spots and Saints have 1 young kid and the other selected purely because of the coaches son. LKT has to stay on. I would like to see LKT move to 6 and Illias to 7 to see how that goes. Maybe they can make Kyle Flanno into a Cam Murray style Lock. I think that is his only hope unless he aits a couple of years and takes Cooks spot when he eventually retired. He seriously looks awkward when he kicks, no a good trait for a half.

Lets see what Flanno does this week.

I would like to see how Illias and LKT go together but Kyle couldn't tie Murray's bootlaces he is no where near that quality of player and never will be. He should be in reserve grade but like you said as long as Flanno is our coach Kyle is safe as houses and thats not right if you ask me. Everyone is noticing it now and it can't be denied that nepotism is at work here

 

[KingFlanno7]

1. Gutho 6. LKT 7. Illias 9. Liddle 14. Cook. I don't understand why Flanno can't just try this spine our season is already cooked. Can't have Kyle playing reserves though can he

CT 's presence is just a danger. Teams know he is lethal within 15m of the line so they mark up on him and opportunities open inside of him as well. As much as im happy to see Corey Allan back playing he would be better suited in centres for mine, injury has sapped a lot of his speed.

“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.

Yeah but guess what 2, if he stays it will be another 3/4 years WASTED before the following 3/4 years before we have any success

Yep Mary's assistant has taken over and it's Mary 2.0 unfortunately.

 

[maestro1]

And your answer is Dean Young. What logic are you using to suggest Dean Young will be better for us. Yes, I know he bleeds Red and White and I love his contribution as a player, but as a coach ????
