I just shake my head in disbelief that he still has a job. Hopefully not for much longer but the trigger should have been pulled by now

The losses are more than just on the field now, it's the damage to the Club and players (and fans)
Our young player win loss
Hayden 1/5
Ryan 3 /12
Dyl 4/4
Jake 1/5
Lyhkan 6/17
Hamish 8/17
Loko 2/8
That's has to affect them mentally and their morale.
How does Loko go coming off the bench for Penrith each time he comes on and up by 12 to 18 points.
Is Jake as pissed off staying on the bench as 18th man each week if the team is 9 and 1.
How does Lyhkan play coming into a team on the front foot wining each week.
Flanno has plenty to answer for. Let’s hope sanity prevails quickly and this nightmare comes to an end. Start fresh in 2027.
The bones of the squad are there.

Did you include feagai as a joke?
30 man squad required. Let’s be realistic, he’s a filler and not overly expensive. I’d take him over Lawson and a busted up Tuipolotu

He goes ok considering he wouldn't be taking up much cap space. It's a very lean time for outside backs at the Dragons now.

I don’t mind him mate, honest and fills in when required. I know some on here don’t rate him at all and would like to see him released but Lawson has been an absolute non event and Tuipolotu, mate he’s like a busted up Datsun. One thing after another with him and slow as. His hammies are a ticking bomb and when they go he’s usually gone for a decent spell

I mean Brent Reed is banging on about how its not fair to our juniors that they develop in a losing side (I get it).. but he also reinstates that we cant sign any players because no one wants to come.. so what exactly is his solution? Fold the club?
Its a tough road out and there are going to be lots of losses.. it is what it is.. we just need the best coaching and recruitment/retention possible along the way.. unfortunately we have burnt a few years under Flanno.. we should have nipped it 12mths earlier if not more.. we need the right coach to fit with Ando (if he is staying in recruitment) we cant be pulling in different directions in terms of what constitutes a modern day footballer.. this is pathways retention also, its everything..

Brent Read, aka Mr Magoo. Another muppet who never has anything positive to say about us. He’d be loving this whole scenario right now

I mean I agree, though tbf hes been calling us out for ages, harsh but tbf fair.... and weve been carrying on doing the same old thing.
But I just mean in terms of Mugs post on losing records.. is similar to Reeds.. but we can only do our best.. we can keep trying to shield them by leaving them in NSW Cup.. but then we likely lose them anyway end of season.. so what do u do.. I think we have atleast 1 of LPT or Halangahu every week.. it might actually be tricky if everyone is fit.. but Keary also pointed it out last week when he asked wtf is Lawrie and Guler doing in our 17 ahead of the young guns? What is the point of that especially in this situation? Its actually how we got here unfortunately.. Flanno sees experience as the safe play each weekend.. but weve been in this loop for 3yrs now.

CT has been told he is not wanted next season, I think the only contract talks that are on hold are the Flanno ones, eg Cook
That has to be a positive sign for the future
Yep and that’s why we are where we are coz of Flanno and his persistence to stick with the same old 17 every week.
Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but hoping for a better result.
If I bang my head against a brick wall eventually I’ll knock myself out. He’s an absolute bird brain.
His reluctance to play some young blokes that have had a taste like Jacob and Loko is a disgrace, Tsougranis can’t get a look in at all ( hopefully that changes when he’s back in a few weeks time and a new coach is hopefully in charge ), Buchanan stuffed around, LKT absolutely had his confidence demolished.
