I give any NRL coach 1 year to get the house in Order, then year 2 to make semi's, year 3 fight for the title. Perfect Example is Cameron Ciraldo.Glad it wasn't me firing up this thread tonight for a change, thanks @56to66
Once again another insipid performance which is inspired by poor coaching.
Some of the apologists can and will keep rolling out their close losses excuse.
The same apologists weren't as kind when Flanagan's predecessor was sacked and in that string at the beginning of 2023 seasons we lost consecutive matches by margins of 2,6,1,2 and 2.
Narrow losses weren't enough to save the previous coach and they shouldnt be enough to save Flanagan either.
This team is showing absolutely no improvement this year, the attack is a rabble and getting worse by the week and the defence is fragile as well.
Flanagan needs to be moved on and he can take his useless son with him.
Yep I agree that's a fair time frame for a new coach to get a side performing.I give any NRL coach 1 year to get the house in Order, then year 2 to make semi's, year 3 fight for the title. Perfect Example is Cameron Ciraldo.
Time for the Flanagan’s to start backing there bags, I reckon we should give Brian Smith another crack.
Not if it means Dean Young to be coach. We need much better.Well it goes to show, Scumulla won the 2016 premiership peptide fuelled, Good bye Flanagan, Dean Young and Ryan Carr.
Time to start searching for new coaching staff for 2026, the search continues
If Flanno was that great Zac and Ben Hunt would have stayed.Yep I agree that's a fair time frame for a new coach to get a side performing.
If some in here had their way, Flanagan would be given a 10 year extension and we'd all keep kidding ourselves and talk about how well we're 'building'.
I must misunderstand what building means, but I thought it means you're growing/expanding/getting better.
I will create a thread "Sack Young"from day 1 announcement.Not if it means Dean Young to be coach. We need much better.
And Frank Molo too and with that we might actually look half decent with ball in hand.If Flanno was that great Zac and Ben Hunt would have stayed.
Brian Smith had a shot with Parramatta for another go for the gig, they've given to another Dean Young, I still think he has the best footy IQ of any coach never to win a GF.If Flanno doesn’t turn it around, then a we probably may need to go the way of a young coach, with Brian Smith in a coaching director/recruitment role.
We are the most dumbest team in the nrl.Yep I agree that's a fair time frame for a new coach to get a side performing.

Well said jeffdragon and yes sadly, nothing has changed.We are the most dumbest team in the nrl.
Maybe he should stop making statements like we are a good team they just don't know it and we will improve as we are going backwards quickly.
Already 2025 done and dusted
after round 10.
Nothing different to his pre decesesors.

Hi Mate,I feel like though if we can just sneak into the finals this year we may be able to jag a couple of good props then build from there.
I’m optimistic.
To preface, I think Kyle is shit too. But how can you say that “we lost because Kyle is shit” and not because of goal kicking? Seriously one is subjective and the other is quantitatively correct. One more goal and we win. Simple mathsSo if K F keeps his position and we are pumped by the Broncos and he keeps his spot again how many will be finally off the Flanno bus?
Also disgraceful of him putting the loss down to goal kicking and the missed field goal.
The loss is due to his son being shit and totally unable to manage a game.
He should have demanded the ball and pushed our team into the centre of the park to set up the fg attempt but no he didn’t do that and he let the play shift to the edge late in the tackle count.
Also changing Liddle out for cook was a dumb play and shows the coach’s stupid bias .
