Watch the same media personalities bagging the Dragons now for being 0-3 also come out and also support the coach.

Flanagan deserves to be under a load of pressure now. He told us, "give me two years" and two years later we are worse than ever as far as results and prospects.

There's nothing formidable about the team he has assembled. All I saw was a coach who played hundreds of games for this club and reject us out coach a desperate man who pinned all his hopes on our 1 and 4 who played terribly today...for another cold hard lose.

There are better options popping up elsewhere slowly.

Picks his son every week and has already the team out of winning a comp...he is getting what he asks for.

Our worst 4 today were :
Gutho Holmes Kerr Setu
All 4 should be SAT DOWN next week against the Titans but IT WONT HAPPEN
Dont care who the replacements are but Flanno has got to send a message to the entire squad
If you let these 4 off how the heck can you dare criticise a junior when he/they make an error or play poorly
Embarrassing our best attacking efforts appeared when Couchies and Stewart were playing first receivers
Liddle must see more game time
On a positive note thought Lawrie and Guler had their best games to date , Suli was dangerous when given clean ball. Sua and Luch were effective playing on the edges .
We appear so disjointed in attack ..They had all preseason to get this right but appear clueless

SF needs to take a real hard look at his press conference and comments made.
He is delusional,the current mob is not NRL standard and will not win a game.
I have no idea how many times he needs kicking in the nuts before he wakes up ,I hope sooner rather than later,or he will be out of work.
Implement change ,make team changes ,just do something please.

The coach has given the team no confidence in 3 years with keeping his son kyle in the team each week. The players know that they can't compete even with a team like Parramatta.
Season 2026 over move on Dragons start planning because us fans are over all the excuses new coach and staff for 2027 . Not interested to watch another game or travel to games with family to be embarrassed by opposition fans each week .

I won't talk about the halves selections. It's been discussed to death. We know what needs to happen. But it will only happen as a result of an injury or suspension.

Two guys from NSW Cup who need to be in the NRL squad - Fale & Halangahu. We are currently missing speed in the outside backs and footwork at the line. We have no game breakers.

Why have we suddenly decided to swap Holmes & Suli from right to left and vice versa? This doesn't make any sense to me. Hook tried to play Suli on the left back in 2023 and it failed.

So, Flanno has one loss left up his sleeve and needs to win five in order to have the same record as Hook?

I will continue to give some benefit of the doubt - the juniors are starting to come through under this current regime, and we have managed to lock in contracts longer term... but this is also happening at an extremely frustrating pace and is somewhat confusing from a selection standpoint with respect to the fact that we have had regulars out of form going back to Round 24 last season.

Flanno is going to have to start pulling the trigger soon - or he risks the trigger being pulled on him.

I'm also mindful of another coach coming in and setting us back another 2-3 years. Willie Peters or Brad Arthur won't be the answer we are looking for. Craig Bellamy or Ivan Cleary, along with bringing a host of superstar first grade talent with them, yeah that's what we are going to need.

Was that a comment towards me? Peters or Arthur? We are absolutely no chance of getting Bellamy or Cleary Muppet. What makes you so smart Mr Positivity, piss off
