Yep. Traditionally we sack coaches in May and put the assistant in charge. Then the Board will hold another review of football operations and appoint a coach that can't get a job anywhere else.
Usually season isn't over till may for us.
Its after 4 rounds this year.

The best we can hope for is to avoid the spoon.
We are odds on.

At the end of the day at some point Dean Young will be given a shot as much as most of us hate the idea, so give him the remaining two years of Flanagan's contract, watch the rot continue, then finally that chapter is close.
2026 Flanagan Gone.
2027/2028 D Young Gone
New Coach, new coaching staff, finger crossed for a revival.
We had Young as interim coach before, 7 games he did f**k all and going down that road again that is just insanity.

Left field thought....would Mick Potter deserve another shot at NRL with you guys?....he lost the coaching job at WT over a" It's either him or me" personality clash with Benji and Robbie Farah...otherwise he seemed well regarded ( as a coach). Would he be welcomed back?

Mick was once a club captain. Not sure if he is in touch with the club these days. It may also be worthwhile to promote Willie Talau and give him a chance. He is done well at lower levels.

Another name comes to mind isTeo who was recently left the Broncs. He is highly considered.

I think the playing group you have now would use Teo's head coaching inexperience as an easy out for bad results....being a club outsider wouldn't help either. Benji has the advantage that the players know the club means more to him than to anyone else in the dressing room...that gives the coach's words real weight. Potter's been.away a long time but that means he's not tarred by any club drama either....could do a lot worse?

Coach should be given the season cookie and Gutho should be responsible for the teams performance last 5 games both experience captains .
Replace Gutho from fullback to no 6 and sign fuller from Dolphins has been reported possible switch in his contract clause and Cookie with Liddle starting.

If they sack the coach so should D Y oung be also he has had no influence on the teams defence in 3 years getting flogged at kogarah is a disgrace. Yesterday the team has made a huge statement by their performance yesterday showing at home they are not playing for the coach or coaching staff .

D Day both Flannos and D Young should be told over the weekend not to return and meeting on Tuesday for M Ennis to coach the rest of the season . After tonight again booed after game time is up or we will break the record for no wins in a season plus first wooden spoon.

Shane will be sacked Tuesday when the board hold a meeting. Good riddens, king of excuses should never have been allowed to coach in the NRL again. As Dan ginane would say 'GOOOODBYYYEEEE'

The way the club has decided to handle this and extend the pain as long as possible is a real test of my relationship to the club.

As these trash coaches and players roll in and out of the club, the hurting fans are what remain consistent. Clearly Hook, Mary and Flanagan would have fallen on their sword if they had the respect in the club they talk about. Ultimately that responsibility ends with the board and they are sloth-like in their approach to restore pride in the club.

I think I have lost complete faith in this club. God, we are tired of talking about sacking coaches and players. We just want to talk about good footy like any other fan of any other club. It's demoralising, and yet Tuesday just seems like a convenient date, no urgency at all.

No need to wait until Tuesday it doesn't make sense to me either. End the suffering and sack him tomorrow morning he has sent us back 5 years.

No use sacking the coach and then getting an ordinary replacement…. we’ll end up where we are now. Are there any elite coaches available… from what I see most if not all are untested, inexperienced hail mary gambles….

The lads had a crack. The only problem same old brain explosions and mistakes.

Time's up for Flanno Sr after the last two games. Just hope Deano can do enough not to get the spoon.

We need change no more ex dragon players coaching the team its so unprofessional. We had Wayne Bennett from Brisbane he in 3 years got us to 2 minor premierships and a Grandfinal 2010 and a world club championship v Wigan 2011.
Go big and get the Clearys combo to 5 years coach and son the best no 7 in the nrl .
