What's impressed me the most is Just the way speak about his team and won't take any shit from the outside..
He is a reputational risk. That's why he's at St George and not one of the good clubs, despite his high win rate and the fact he arsed a premiership with a squad on the peptides.

He arsed a squad that he put together himself???? He took over from Ricky Stuart when they were running stone motherless last. Familiar to Bea but Flanno managed to beat a very good Storm side. Bea fluked a GF and we were absolutely embarrassed.

It’s definitely not aggressive. Crock of shit is pretty tame conversational language in any group of blokes I’ve ever known

if you thought I was being aggressive towards you, i apologise.

All good, mate - I mistook your tone.

I apologise!

But I agree with a lot of you guys - we definitely showed some very promising signs last night, and it's frustrating to think, "What if...?" had Simonson not gotten injured.

Maybe.Not sure Walsh is a baby and just 21. Dylan's just turned 28.
Gutherson 30 in September. How long before he is cooked?.

Dylan is also a better player then Gutherson. Not by heaps but he is superior and why he is talked about as NSWs fullback over Teddy and Gutherson isn't. He also has stood up in big time clutch games. Won 3 grand finals. Gutherson I don't think has done this yet. Not consistently.
Dylan has also come out on top of both of these players in the Big show.
Walsh however puts bums on seats. He is the most exciting player since Slater and Hayne come thru. He is an amazing talent.He just needs to fix his defense. In attack he is worth 18 points a

Players are playing to the late 30s.

I wouldn't be writing Gutho off for another 5 years.

He doesn't rely on his speed and acceleration that the guys like Tedesco, Walsh and Turbo rely on that makes them great.

Gutho's strength which is effort and fitness won't disappear quickly.

And he is as fit as a fiddle. So fitness will never be an issue.

I cant stand Guffo, but you guys would be crazy to move him. He is the glue holding you guys together. As a follower of a bottom dwelling team, let me tell you , you guys are not as good as you think and small changes make a massive impact on a team dynamic.

The secret of Cronulla's 2016 premiership: https://www.sharks.com.au/news/2014/11/25/sharks-appoint-group-ceo/

This is the bloke responsible for the 'third party' resources that allowed them to build the team, not Flanagan. It's why he was able to walk straight into a job with Manly while Flanagan spent five years on the dole.
Flanagan can coach. Look at where Cronulla were when he took over they were aids after the mess Ricky left them in. He dragged them from the bottom.

While Cronulla lucked in they got a storm side with no slater on GF day.

They had a 1 year window and managed to win it that season. With an ageing side.

Flanagan's sides have been built on Tough D and would scrap over a bone.

When was the last time a parramatta side was known for that.

I am curious why does he rub opposition fans up the wrong way.

Your not the only one I can understand Manly fans are dirty mainly because they him go so they have his hatred for him now out of jealousy that he can stay on the park while Tommy turbo gets out of the garage 3 times a year.

Is it the King nickname.

He doesn't have the grubbieness Slater had.

So what is it.

He can obviously coach. His win rate is proof of that. The point is his premiership took some luck, as do so many premierships. With more luck Arthur, Griffin and Brian Smith could've won premierships. With less luck Flanagan, Hagan and Green might have missed out. Why do you think Cleary won nothing for 15 years?

Guffo is a good player, but he is good mostly because of effort plays, but that is still a valuable thing. For me its the carry on after a good play. I cant stand Latrell either but when a 6, something 100kg athlete dominates you can wear it but when Guffo carries on like he it Tyson after making a tackle, I cant wear it.
