Round 17 v Eels at home

[KingFlanno7]

Eels and Manly are probably the only games I'm confident we can jag a win. It's getting repetitive but it's a must win game simple as that, the drums are beating louder and louder.

 

[Inisai Toga]

Your two up on me!

Lomax v Dragons result Lomax victory i saw it coming last game v parra and this game will be the same result.

Read what the smug prick said after the Manly game we won by 2 points.
"I heard Kyle Flanagan say a few weeks ago after they beat Manly, 'That’s the worst halves combination in the competition, hey?'".

The same game Illias played better then Flanno and kicked 14 times to his 1. Not long after this game Illias gets dropped it's comical.

Apple doesn’t fall far re running his mouth

Hang in there Tru.

Success will come and will be much sweeter for the struggle.

You know what blows me away?

Seeing panfers home games at Parra Stadium with what looks like about 5,000 fans max!

It's 20 mins drive up the freeway FFS.

If it was us that had won 4 straight in that situation, we'd still be packing it out each week I reckon.

Anyhow, stick solid mate.

Good times will roll again...

I hear you mate, and I've been around this Club long enough to know it aint all about winning.

In the 90's we never won a title. Yet we were part of 4 grand finals. 92,93,96,99.

3 of those as stand alone Saints, 2 against a whole state state side BNE.

We meant something. I will treasure all those GF's and rides along the way. It's not the silverware, it's the journey.

Anyways, Im sure 90% of those in my age bracket, get it. Old bastard getting grumpy on internet is nothing new..

Great days at the SFS.
I remember getting my name called on the pa system at the 96 GF because I left my wallet in the toilets.

No pockets.

I am going to say that we will win this match.

Having no Moses is a big bonus

Both need to go

Glover a no 7 needs to be given a chance killing it in Nsw with his stat's.
And has the combination with KT would be a option that needs to be done for parra game .

 

[Dragonslayer]

My early team list (stc)

1. Gutho
2. CT
3. Suli
4. Holmes
5. Lawson
6. LKT
7. Glover
8. JDB
9. Cook
10. Klemmer
11. NT
12. Sua
13. Stewart

14. Liddle
15. Couchman
16. Sele
17. LPT

Me thinks KFlan will not play at all. His partner is due to give birth, so there's 1 reason, the other would be some mystery injury at training, forcing him out for a week, or two.

Both CT and Sua are listed to return for round 17. Keeping Sele ahead of Guler, as I think he's the better defender. NT did enough to warrant another game, but with VH returning from SOO, put him in his preferred position and see what we have there. Coucho has to play in the middle, he's not an edge forward. CT is still my worry, if he's not up to full fitness, then time to bring back Finau. Glover gets his debut over an Ilias return due to his already established partnership with LKT in Cup (yes Ilias has been there a while also, but I think it's better chemistry).

[possm]

The team has lost faith in S Flannagan mainly because of his attitude towards Kyles form.
Kicks not long enough
Kicks are caught on the full by opposition players
Our backs do not chase his kicks hard enough; there is no contest for the ball
Kyle rarely runs direct to create opportunities in attack

Just imagine if Kyle kicked high and long to the right-hand corner with Sloan chasing at top speed, contesting possession; actually trying to catch that ball.

 

[possm]

Both need to go

But Dean Young needs to be sacked first otherwise we will be in an even worse situation.

What do you think the players will do when they read the papers this morning. I know some stay off social media but surely they will think Flanno has lost the plot. There's no way more then half the team will agree, Illias would be pissing himself laughing.
