Sack Flanagan

[ruthless dragon]

Lies, damn lies and statistics.

Cherry picking the negative and, like lemmings, some people just can't help themselves by following along.

So, let's cherry pick some Positives shall we:
2025 v's 2024
Points for: 198 v's 192 - positive
Points against: 213 v's 248 - positive
Tries/game: 3.5 v's 3.2 - positive
Tackles: 365 v's 338 - positive
Missed tackles/game: 24.3 v's 26.5 - positive
Points/game: 20 v's 17.7 - positive
Linebreaks/game: 5.5 v's 4.5 - positive
Run metres/game: 1634 v's 1562 - positive
Offloads/game: 10.8 v's 10.5 - positive

To go on unfettered about we haven't improved is just lies and bait for those who are just looking at the ladder position. And, if you really want to go all in on ladder position then take note that 8th is on 10 Points, we are on 8 ie 1 game out of the 8 (channeling Mary here).

Ah, if Val could only land a few more conversions as we are negative on this stat at 66.7% v's 75%.

All these stats are available on the NRL website, for those who actually want to do some research.

So, those lies, damn lies and statistics can make anything into whatever you want to believe.

There you go, Facts. unlike the chief whiner " Im Halfwit" and his/her?? little whiners Princess flannel skirt and ilk.

Again Hornby experienced coaches don't get any support so why would a inexperienced coach get any. And yes Flannigan was not our first choice because Ryles knocked us back after getting advice from Phil Gould. If I can remember Gould warned Ryles not to coach us because we are a rabble.
Until the front office and/or owners move on were ratshit. I don't think even Bellamy could not handle our board or owners.
All the clowns on here blaming the coach are pointing in the wrong direction.

Whilst disappointed with results and our position on the ladder, I am relatively happy with our Head Coach.
He is building a good squad with a mixture of experience and youth.
The fruit will ripen with time,I would be happy to see Shane Flanagan extended for a further 2 years.

Wow. Currently 13th on the ladder with the season officially over after 10 rounds. Talk about accepting mediocrity…

What dribble. While the season has indeed got off to a disappointing start, its hilarious that someone could say that we’re two points out of the 8 with a better for and against than three of the teams above us but according to you the seasons “officially over”. Who has “officially“ said this?
We may or may not get to the finals but at least try to fact check your own posts before you post such nonsense.

Fact check?? 2 points out of the 8 and also 2points of last position. How’s that champ? Is that accurate enough for you?

As I've pointed out to you, the BOD were prepared to give Ryles everything he asked for, he was about to sign the deal and changed his mind at the last minute.
How many games in the NRL had Ryles coached at that point in time?

So YES a ROOKIE coach, convinced our BOD that we needed structural changes in our front office to be successful and they agreed to give the changes he was after. It has happened once so it can certainly happen again, why can't it?

Of course when the next desperate candidate who no one else wanted being fraud Flanno came along and didn't ask for any of these things, the BOD were happy to save some work and wages and decided to give him a go.

When Flanagan is sacked, we as supporters need to make our voices heard and ensure our next coach is advocating for changes prior to getting the job.

 

[Old Timer]

Whilst asking who replaces S F if he is sacked is a fair enough question it should not negate the decision as to whether he should be sacked or not.
The roster save a couple is his.
The recent signings are his
The game plan is his
The selections are his
The bench usage is his
The continued dumbness is his
The nepotism and favouritism is his
The results are his

Or the above is all tickety boo and it’s just Val’s kicking that is the issue.

Being accurate, champ, would be to back your I’m Hornby style dribble up with supplying us with the proof that our season is “officially over”. But you know that was just some dumb hyperbole that came out of your sad little mind.
To be accurate, you might be smarter saying our season perhaps is on shaky ground. That would get you some credibility. Is Penrith’s season “officially over”? They’re one point from the bottom.
Is I’m Hornby having a slumber party this week and you’re all taking turns playing on the computer while Mummy makes popcorn?

Far more upside with Penrith but yes their season is over too. We’ve lost to a reserve grade Souths team, a team coming last in Parra, choked against an ordinary Wests team, absolutely belted by Roosters on Anzac Day and couldn’t put the Warriors away last week. We have no halves, no front rowers and have the same soft underbelly we’ve had for the last 15 years. But hey, you continue with the childish insults and I’ll stick to the facts..

All these brand new accounts write and act the exact same way. Wonder why

That depends on which account you are asking about?

Soon you and your apologist mates will be saying there's a whole bunch of bots/fake accounts who are saying Flanagan should be sacked.

Maybe it's the fact that more and more dragons fans are sick of the crap results and are starting to see through the fraudulent and inept coach that is Flanagan.

You have a short memory but over the years as our coaches get worse results, more and more supporters will be posting similar themes. To disregard people's opinions and criticisms and claim it's all the same account is just plain stupid.

You can keep thinking everything is sunshine and rainbows, you and others will look more foolish as more time passes.

 

[redVinme]

Or maybe it's the fact you keep making more and more accounts and you are too dumb to realise they all sound the exact same and all like each other's posts when no one else does.

You tried running your thoughts through chat gpt for a while in an attempt to sound smartererer but when that also didn't work you reverted back to your normal charming self.

Be more obvious big guy.

Sure thing mate, Flanagan is doing an amazing job and there's absolutely no reason to criticise him.

Clearly me and a few others are all just the same mean person without a life.

BTW I love how you don't click the reply button to me, I think the people who you consider 'friends' who are really just internet strangers you've never met in real life, know that it's me you're talking to, so you may as well just go ahead and click that reply button champion!

How is the season over? Is the Season over for Penrith too?

I didn't know you could have 3 accounts on here.

Agreed, it's not over, but it is on life support.

Penrith are a different beast, they don't really look like they are going to come thundering home but I wouldn't write them off just yet.

The development of young guys is great for us this year, and will hopefully continue. That makes 2026 much more positive but we still need some talent to be injected.
