I know some people don't like it but I can barely contain myself anymore.
Latest words of wisdom from Flanno;
“I’m not worried about how many games we lose, I’m worried about how many games we win,” Flanagan said.
What? How many games you win is an inverse relationship to how many games you lose. What is Flanno talking about?
“They were my best spine yesterday, they were my best spine today and they’ll be my best spine tomorrow so we keep moving on.
i.e. no changes to the spine unless there is an injury.
“They showed what they can do in the trials and they showed me what they can do in the off-season so I’ve got all faith in those boys to get the job done.
They were trials Flanno. No one really cares about them. Except for you and except for if Kyle is playing.
“We’re looking at some really experienced players and some Origin players in Gutho and Cooky. It hasn’t come together for us just yet, but not just those players have got to deliver.”
And once again, Flanno immediately passing the buck. How can he mention Gutho and it "not coming together" and "have got to deliver"? Gutho has been a very rare bright spot. Doing it all. Organizing from the back, making metres running, playmaking setting up tries. He has to do that because he plays the role of fullback and 5/8 in this team.

This is the same as when I first realised Flanno was all about protecting Kyle. A successful team is a secondary consideration. In the Origin period last year, pre game the reporter asked Flanno if Kyle is taking on more responsibility without Hunt. Flanno immediately passed the buck to Jesse Marshke.

Flanno is a good coach. No doubt at all but I think his fanatical determiantion to protect Kyles place in the team is going to cost him his job and credibility and set the team back by 2~3 years at least.

Once again, I'm sorry to those who might not like it but I can't contain myself anymore. This is incredible! Not on Flanno's part. I understand he thinks Kyle is a superstar and the least of the teams problems. It's incredible Deano or someone from above hasn't intervened. If Carr tried to to intervene he'd be out of a job inside the hour but Deano has connections and credibility within the club and the wider competition.

Has Kyle been better than Illias? Unless LKT signs an extension soon, there is really no other option. To pin our hopes on a 19 year-old who is leaving would make the club look like a joke.

Illias needs some help but Glover should be in contention if Illias doesn't get better soon.

This is the problem , the club has been a joke for a long time this is why no one wants to come to us , either we pay overs or we buy players that are ready to ease off into retirement .......

Hopefully only 1 more season of this. Next season I expect a complete overhaul.

Has to clarify the situation after his dummy spit over Ilias 'not getting us home' in Souths game. Was forced into a 'egg on face' apology to Ilias. Kinda respect Flanno for that.

Keep saying Kyle is the weak link of this spine. God help us if Flanno gives him the reins as prime play maker.

Both the halves are stopgaps, Atkinson will replace one of them next year and hopefully in 2027 Reed is good enough to start at 7

From what I've seen, albeit in ressies, LKT is better than Atkinson now let alone in 2 or 3 years. But yeah, if he's not staying, no use picking him in first grade.

It's you or the players gone, you are in the position to make a decision. If you back up with the same team next week you deserve what's coming.
Watch the last 20 minutes of the game and start slashing players at least 4 of them switched off because we were winning.
Flanno enough talking our club deserves better.
