The Rumours Thread

I understand the gut issue have similar problem not pleasant.

Off to Japan in April so Sake & Whisky I think.

Nice, where you headed?

For sure.
You wouldn’t put it past them to let Flanno rebuild then parachute Young in to hopefully reap the benefits.

I realise it’s a very cynical view. But like I said I’m yet to trust this board.

Now that Josh Madden is on the market after Hunt to Broncs, question is;
Will anyone chase him who could shake loose a big bopper for us?

We are off to Japan in January

I just don’t get this Flano contract discussion. Hasn’t he got another two years on his current contract?
If he wants to stay at StGI he will. If he wants to consider other options he wouldn’t accept an extension anyway, would he?
As far as I know there’s no evidence whatsoever that Dean and Craig Young and Doust are white-anting Flano.
The discussion just seems paranoid to me.

I do not think they are white anting him. I just don’t think they will extend him . He won’t be without suitors. Genuinely think they will keep him for the duration of his contract, let him do the work to fix us up and Deano then takes the reigns for 2027.

think this was always the plan and Flanno knows it, but he will do a good enough job here to get a better gig elsewhere

You won't believe how cheap some of the sake and whisky are over there but beware the really cheap sake, if you have a not so tough gut avoid it altogether, no amount of Quik-eze, Gaviscon or Nexuim will save you.

Nice, where you headed?

10 day cruise
10 days chasing cherry blossoms by train and plane to wherever.
20 days of sushi, tempura, udon, sashimi, bento boxes, asahi, supporo, sake, whiskey, cognac and a little bit of sleep.

Very nice OT. I hope you enjoy it and before you go next April the Dragons will be at least 4-5 wins and winning a few while you are away.

Skiing way beyond me now but I’d love to sit in a hot spa pool surrounded by snow monkeys and ice cold beers

I love the people too so hospitable and polite.

Japan has become a very popular destination for people, particularly Aussies. Me and my family have been there. Good people, good things to see and do and love the food, different customs and cultures and yes very polite. Hehe. Your colourful language I'm sure you leave back here.

Well when I was a bit younger her we did teach a Japanese barman how to say cheers to a kiwi

we said next time a kiwi comes into your bar and and asks for a biiiieeeerrrr and he saids to you “Kanpai” you reply

“cheers merkin”

I still laugh about it 15yrs later

the facial expressions of that kiwi would be priceless lol

Then why did Dean young throw his hat in the ring for the Parramatta head coaching gig ?

While ever DY is assistant Coach or until Flanno re signs this rubbish will continue
Obviously we are well into the off season and quality talk topics are Scarce

 

[Rocket Rod]

I think he throws his hat in every ring pretty much like all of them

The board is evolving, we have new guys and soon a new ceo , it will come down to a vote in the end, the old boys wont get their way anymore, this club is starting to make inroads I believe

I haven’t been keeping a close eye on this subject and truly welcome your post and belief.

I take it Lancaster & Creagh are in the wheel house changing the course of the ship?

It will be a truly great day when professionalism overrides nepotism.
