The moment the Media got wind Zac was not happy, all we read about him is anything negative towards the Dragons. They were trying to build this huge wedge between the 2. The Media do Saints no favours so why take anything they write serious. Credit to Zac though as he played to his best every game. I have not heard any previous Shark player bag Flanno, so he can't be that bad. I have heard players come out and bag Madge when at the Tigers, Kevvie on podcasts, etc. If players don't like a coach, they usually show it on the field and Zac did not look like he was unhappy this season playing under Flanno. Actions speak much louder than words.
Did you notice that Mitch Moses was pretty pi$$ed with the Parra Management when Barrett was not picked as coach and looking to activating his clause to leave? Apparently he still may not be happy but the media will keep that quiet as it is the Eels. They don't want to make Ryles job any harder seeing he just joined. Whereas Flanno joins and every player wants out and is reported on weekly until Flanno has to come out and publicly make comments. The media has so much pull in promoting clubs and disrespecting others to drive their own agendas.
