Neither Penrith nor Melbourne sign many established players. Yet they have dominated the league for several years.

How good will it be if LKT has a blinder so Flanno can't pick Kyle again or if they lose again and Flanno is sacked so we can stop talking about Kyle being in the team. Because Flanno is the only thing keeping Kyle in the team.

Spot on David and we continue to lose. Wake up BOD and Watsford.

Is Gutherson a better play maker than Atkinson. His stats suggest not. Our latest #7 has been impressive in several games putting our try scorers into gaps. How many yrs have we waited for Kyle to do this consistently. So I say keep Atkinson where he is while he is creating tries. Like him to also back his speed and agility by taking on the line more. Give Gutho a crack at pivot tho if moved from the back as he likes getting his hands on the ball.

Flanno says the reason he is moving Kyle to halfback now is:
“As time’s gone on, we just feel that Kyle’s strength is to organise the team and get them around the park”.
So why didn't you start the year with Kyle at halfback!? Why wasn't he training at halfback all off season?!
I don't even blame Flanno. He made it very obvious he places Kyle above the team in the professional sense of thew word. I blame those above him in the organisation for not saying well before now something like, "you can pick Kyle again but if we lose, you better pack your bags." Allowing Flanno to get rid of Sullivan, Ward, Ilias and Glover and seemingly not making an effort to sign several halfbacks who have come off contract over the last 2 years.

Imo he's picked a team that will be desperate to win to save their own assess. Likes of Guler, Lawrie, CT, Kerr etc know Flanno is their only hope at regular 1st grade games & another NRL contract elsewhere.

Fair opinion though I don't agree. I very much doubt any of them believe they can get another contract in the NRL. They might be thinking about ESL. A couple of them might go alright over there. Just not Kyle.

Thats a father talking thru rose colored glasses if ever I heard it. Also a load of hog wash. He has had three yrs to lead us round the paddock, sorry to say Kyle but you couldnt lead a herd of cattle round a paddock and time your father accepted that. The worst day in past 10 yrs was when we signed the nameless forgotten one, second worst was bringing Flanagan father and son here.

I'd just swap the order. Look at the results! The one who cannot be named was the second worst thing. The Flanagan duo was the worst.

All's a pity RVH, all's a pity. In hindsight so much could have been achieved for the better but in reality what we had and have are part of our folklore now. The winds of change are happening and I would like to think that those winds will bring about WINS.

Really hoping this thread can be retired before the Souths game next week.

But he didn't mention Kyle dummying and running on the last twice and once on the 4th tackle while attacking their line.

I think we could have won tonight, if Reed was our halfback instead of Kyle. I also think we "could" have beat Parra, Gold Coast and possibly Canterbury if Reed was playing halfback and Atkinson 5/8.
