Please don't try to indicate that flanno style is a result of Stuart teaching. Yes thank Stuart for bringing kade, Gardner and co to the club. But flannos style is anything but Ricky. Even he admitted last year that his style would represent Brian smiths

Agree ragin, the team under Dicky play completely different to under Flanno, just notice the ball movement under Flanno too Dicky massive differences.

The interchange is different in how he uses Douglas/Snowden.

The putting faith in his halves, where Dicky sacked Noddy, and replaced him with Barrett who again did what he did at Dragons added nothing.

Lets hope Flanno dosent make any of those great Dicky signings where to start Filiga/Donnelly/Maitua

If Smith was out there, our defence would suffer.
Graham makes a liability position, a plus. Because he hits & hurts.
Maybe - but what you lose in one area you pick up in another.

Smith has a proven himself in this position in the NRL over a long period of time and it's tough to judge him trying to play under Sticky last season.

NO halfback has ever shone under Sticky and kelly is walking testament that Sticky has little idea or faith in what to do with them.

The better teams will prepare better for us soon and NOBODY ever won a comp without a halfback tried and true at this level (except bennet with Perry, but he had Lockyer at 6 who ran the team anyway).

When the intensity picks up in afew weeks a halfback who knows how to guide a team to safe areas around the park will release a lot of pressure.

At the moment we have a LOT of chiefs slipping balls - which are sticking - and it is all coming off.
fact: it won't be like that for the next 23 weeks.

Graham has not the game, experience nor maturity to reign it in and settle it.
He's a lock or even a 5/8 in the Olsen filipnana mould.

Never boasted , just responded. The tie comment was aimed at any simpleton who wants to identify someone in a crowded club. Would you prefer it if I said I would wear a red a carnation??

This is too easy!
