What has he done to deserve an NRL gig? One GF in how many seasons at Parra? Didn’t win one either
Mate I dont care who we get, as along as we come to the realisation that Flanno and his tactics, game plan, type of players he likes will get us nowhere in the modern game. We have been suckers for having coaches staying to long when they are not worth it, Price, McPeanut, Hook and now Flanno.
I'm sick of the spin, the excuses, now there is nothing left to complain about. Todays game was a pivitol moment in our season and look what happened, and to compare us to the 2016 Sharks side is simply absurd. We looked like a complete rabble at times to a team that didn't even play well themselves.
So, I'm even a bit pissed at Ennis who is the attacking coach witnessing our game style, is he being harnessed by Flanno ? Come to the fact we haven't won a game in 2 months, we are already second last on the table with the possibility of being last next week. What is KK going to do next year with that game style, he'll just be a battering ram. So yeah give Arthur a shot how much worse could it get.

Purdue’s about to extend with the cows. $3 mil 4 year deal

Campbell graham is going nowhere

Jenkins looks decent but I’m wary he’s a byproduct of an excellent team and coaching. Need to see more of him
I saw enough of Jenkins last year to be confident he would be a good signing. He can play wing, centre and even fullback. He is playing very well on the wing for Penrith right now. He would be better at centre than Suli.

Then again, if Burton is going from U17s to Flegg this year, he might go from Flegg to NRL next year. But could play on the wing or centre even if that were the case so if Papz was interested in a comeback, 2 years would be good for the Dragons.
Burton could play his natural position fullback for us next year. The good ones can play first grade at 18 at fullback. Inglis was playing at 17. Kini was playing fullback at 18 and is very small.

Great player developer, every parra player loves him

Took over parra when they were an absolute rabble and guided them to be a consistent top 8 side for the last 7-8 seasons

He wouldn’t be my #1 pick but he’s obviously a decent coach and us with a number of young players who he’s proven he can develop, wouldn’t be upset if we gave him the reigns

Plays enterprising footy as well which we need to bring back to the hallowed turf of WIN and Kogarah
Flano had a similar resume at cronulla before coming to us... and he had won a comp

Arthur’s proven he can coach in the six again era

He also hasn’t had multiple former players say he didn’t do much coaching, the players ran the sessions and called plays etc.

That’s a pretty bad wrap from Jimmy Maloney to be saying that sort of thing for a coach you won a comp with

Flanno’s also got plenty of baggage with scandals he’s apart of

I’m not calling for Flanno to be sacked, not yet, anyway. But if it did come to that, you would have to think Willie Talau would come under consideration for the interim coaching role.
Lots of if, buts and maybes. I’d be stoked if Talau got a chance especially in front of Young. I just can’t see the board moving on Flanno before the end of the season unless we go 0-10 or something crazy like that
