Exactly and isn`t he the only coach to have won a GF outside the big three since whenever, and I know people will say that was tainted, I don`t care, because it shows a ruthless edge that all great coaches must have.
Man that is clutching at straws not talking about players we had already & no club wanted.
Sivo linked to superleague
This only confirms that you are a very suspicious character OT !!!
I suspect that could be correct
Well he needs to come out and say he was WRONG because
But who would you have had playing #6 & #7 this year instead? KF and Sullivan? Bcs that would have been it.
I think its quite obvious that we are not sweeping this under the carpet. And Hunt might still be there next year. Flanno had to do what he thought was right then and what he thinks is right now. I also think that if you are waiting for some sort of apology from Flanno, you'll be waiting for a long long time. When was the last time you heard a coach apologise for a player selection or wanting to keep a player. Any coach !!
It blows my mind that after over a decade where we had to watch three of the laziest, most insipid and damaging coaching appointments in a row - Price, McGregor and Griffin - drag our team to some of the most miserable depths I've ever seen as a Saints supporter - that there is a small ignorant minority in the fanbase who don't have the intelligence to see that we have in SF the best guy who was available for the job at the time. The appointment of Flanno was the best thing to happen to the club since Bennett.
Isn't is nice to see that this ass clown is "wary of his contract dramas being a distraction" for the Australian side. Wouldn't it have been nice if he had the same respect to the club side he was captain of when he was busy sending text messages to red Nose Buzz Rothfield last year and publicly stoking up the drama last year while in the QLD Origin camp.......
I am also a Hunt hater for what he has done to the club but who would flano replace him with if he had of punted him when he had the chance. Imo he had no choice to keep him at the time
Yep. The succession planning left a lot to be desired. Especially in an era where the #7 has become such a focus of the game even while #7s seem to mature so much later. There are not many Galvins running around who can step straight from pathways into the NRL.
You won't get an answer. No time for actual football talk just trump style ranting where is YOU CAPITALISE WORDS to make it seem important. I've asked multiple times how we would trade/sign 1 mil worth of players with no buying power to replace hunt and crickets obviously. The dude literally has no idea how the salary cap works and is mentally 12.
So you wanted him to come in and take over the worst roster since Adam was a boy (that had been slower destroyed by a fxcked up management over a period of 13 or 14 years), and get rid of our captain, marquee and halfback without a backup. .......And.....further diminishing our roster to A Grade level. Yes Hunt hasn't lived up to expectations or his pay packet, but anybody who removed him without an able replacement is a moron. He probably always knew that keeping Hunt was short term until he got an opportunity to sign better. Be patient, he'll rebuild the crap that your Young/Hornby loving, nepotistic management created. That roster was embarrassing. Who fxcking signs Blake Lawrie and Ravalawa to 3 year contracts on really good money?
I could see Hunt was a Clayton's 7 a few years ago , why did it take so long for our lot to realise this ....... ? Hunt = Toxic Piss him off .......
Magician? Flanno is a sorcerer.
FFS Hook got a worse squad to 10 wins and closer to the 8 in 2022 so the 2024 result isn’t that great if the truth be told.
