It’s criminal how our recruitment guy sat on his hands & even more that Haran obviously let it happen . He has to go, surely.And will remain so for the foreseeable future unfortunately

Why did the club management tolerate this ??? Were we operating without a recruitment manager? Again I’d love to sit down with Webby and find out why why why on a raft of issues. So unprofessional or boys club still haunt us ?I spoke to Tim Watsford at the recent members fan day & he said we signed Daniel Anderson purely to help Shane so he isn’t doing everything
To be fair i think Webb was clueless in the football space commercially he was good.Why did the club management tolerate this ??? Were we operating without a recruitment manager?

How right you are. Hes added nothing to our clubSo you admit he’s gone in 2 years?
That’s why we should start immediately. There’s no time to waste. I don’t want to have 2 more years of failure! We’ve had over a decade of it!
Maybe flano is a control freak and wanted to do it all himself. Somewhat deluded maybe that he could?Why did the club management tolerate this ??? Were we operating without a recruitment manager?

Yes, and I have been saying to sack both assistants (Young and Carr) and replace them with the Walker Brothers (something completely different).We're ranked 12th in the league for attack and defence Possm, equally bad at both.
There are a few others also not technically on the list that have been unavailable most of the year, have come back this week but wont be match fit and god I hope they last the game if picked...... Sele, CT, BMM.. Fifita technically back but barely..This is our injury list. 9 players out of top 30. So in effect we are playing with 21 regular players.
- Nathan Lawson (Shoulder, Round 23)
- Toby Couchman (Shoulder, season)
- Sione Finau (Shoulder, season)
- Jaydn Su’A (Knee, Round 25)
- Nick Tsougranis (Ankle, TBC)
- Ryan Couchman (ACL, Season)
- Dylan Egan (ACL, Season)
- Valentine Holmes (Shoulder, Season)
- Tom Eisenhuth (Concussion, Retired)
The only team doing worst with injuries than us is South with 12 injured players .
So the only game we are expected to win for the rest of the season, is the one against South.
Yep, replace them all: Haran, Millard, Millward, Carr, Young and the fitness staff. If things do not improve after this, sack the head coach.It’s criminal how our recruitment guy sat on his hands & even more that Haran obviously let it happen . He has to go, surely.
LOL the hiring of a well-respected recruitment manager is evidence of the contrary. It stems from the incompetence and lack of personnel he had to work with at the timeMaybe flano is a control freak and wanted to do it all himself. Somewhat deluded maybe that he could?
Love it mate. Great post!for all of those who want Flanagan sacked, who are you replacing him with?
- Des is leaving Titans next year and oh boy hes doing a good job with their roster thats better than ours
- Dean young? doing such a great job with the defence, even brought dragons defence to the Blues for game 3.
- BA? eels came second last, last year with a squad that makes our look like a pile of shit, not to mention missing finals with a grand final quality side in 2023.
- Kevvy? couldn't get the likes of Staggs, Walsh, Haas, Carrigan and Reynolds higher than our flanagan coached team of superstars last year
- Slater? not interested in nrl
We have a LOT of issues, don't get me wrong.
- our willingness to sit back and wait for opposition to attack us
- lack of speed
- shit kicking game: yes, he picks his son there, but there is no one better, if there was I'd be up in arms about this with the Flano haters.
- Lack of players that can make the meters to get us out of trouble
- team selections and bench usage
with these points in mind how many of them are due to SF?
- Defensive structures? yes, thats on flanagan, but the onus is equally on the heir aparent as well
- team selections and bench usage? yes, but we are observers and not as well equiped as a seasoned nrl coach to make or pass judgement on these decisions.
On to the positives, SF is NOT the issue, he has instilled fight, grit and determination into a bunch of mostly reserve graders to duke it out tooth and nail with the top teams. What we lack is strike and quality players. you could argue that our shit roster is partly inherited and partly to do with SF because he brought some average players here. Who have been our 2 most quality players this year? Gutherson (yes, hes slow but hes carried our attack) and Holmes. Who brought them in? SF, WITHOUT a recruitment manager. Who can blame him? NRL season for us finishes in early september, pre-season starts in November, thats 2 months where flanagan could focus SOLELY on recruitment.
Didn't we make a play at getting Peter O'Sullivan back here?for all of those who want Flanagan sacked, who are you replacing him with?
