There was about half a dozen games this year where his first run of the game he got levelled by the opposition, just a below average NRL player who was given more grace than he deserved because he’s a local junior
He hasn’t been touted as a head coach for other clubs, just manly. The players love him and there’s been a push for him to get the gig but also Matt Ballin internally
*Re. Ballin- Sounds familiar with board members pushing to give the job to an old boy who hasn’t earnt their stripes over giving...
Keep an eye on Mason Phillips next season in SG ball, he’s talented and put on some much needed weight.
As for Ennis, 1 year is quite short. I’ve heard that manly promised him the head coach gig after seibold but Penn and co. Don’t want to pay him out
So Ennis as Manly Coach 2027 is a real...
Yeah he’s given up fox gig, he’s very highly rated so I’m happy with this
Should have markedly improved dummy half play at a minimum
Good for the young hookers in the dragons academy to have someone like Ennis in the building as well
He’s had a look at what’s coming underneath and said we’ll keep our powder dry
LKT and Sandon smith are in the same tier (Remember LKT is 3 years younger and playing behind a bad pack)
Reed and Ah Kee are elite talents as well and should be prioritised over Sandon Smith so I don’t have a...
Sandon Smith off to the knights on a four year deal
I’d say Ponga is as good as gone when his contract is up at Newy.
Shift Sharpe to fullback and Brown/Sandon halves
One less Half on the market albeit he’s not a Marquee guy that we’ve spoken about wanting
Have a disgusting feeling Shane’s going to keep Kyle as the 7 next year
Otherwise where else does he fit in the 17?
Should be LKT and Atkinson halves combo, there’s a load more threat in that duo and Atkinsons’ got a big boot on him to end the sets
That 2nd last eels try where Talataina took Ramsey out for catching the bomb
what an egregious refereeing decision, lucky it didn’t cost us the match
How good is Tsougranis btw, feel bad for him with the timing of his injury. Would have played a load of NRL games and done really well
Should...
My honest opinion is that the 2 seasons Flanno has coached for us the roster wasn’t top 8 standard
He’s done ok but lots of his signings have been pretty ordinary and if we are being honest the only ‘marquee’ players we’ve signed are ones that other clubs have pushed away and didn’t want at the...
