FWIW KK didn’t come because of Flanno. And he is the reason we are struggling to recruit.
Now he’ll be using it as an excuse to buy him more time with poor results, because he has Kolo coming

Flanno can be credited as recruiting Koloamatangi. He signed with the knowledge Flanno would be out coach in 2027. We have been struggling to recruit long before Flanno took over. I was very surprised Koloamatangi signed with us. Name the big name or in demand players we signed since 2011?

Widdop was a huge signing and there wasn’t a peep about it until it was announced that he’d signed with us

Since Bennett it has always been a tough gig for any 1st team coach, the set up of the club and players on board was always a few years building program, if the club supported the incoming coach fully and changed the existing path we were on then maybe the coach has a chance.
Next year we have great young forwards wiser and more experienced, we have KK along with the centre of excellence nearly here.
We need desperately a big change in the backs, with a stack of exciting talent and speed, we must be on to that now.

Now sign Couchies and Jake up to 2029

The steps are happening but it's slowly and we are getting older.

I cant blame Flanno too much considering what he had to work with.

I'm sure blind Freddy can see there's not any or enough dynamism in attempting to win these games, something has to change.

I agree with all that except for the part about not blaming Flanno. The first year I didn't blame him. Last year it was half his fault. This year, which is shaping up as the worst yet, is all on Flanno.

We got beat in Golden Point by Canterbury after getting many bad calls.

We were up against Melbourne with 20 to go. I could hardly believe it at the time

Last week we were in the game. Couchman getting sin binned hurt us.

Melbourne and Canterbury are great chances to make the top 4. Parra surprisingly beat Brisbane the week before playing us, after being down by a big margin early in the game.

I am putting things into perspective.

I didn't expect us to beat Canterbury or Melbourne.

This week we will be without both Couchmen, who are 2 of our best players. Ryan out for the next 4 weeks is a massive lose.

I am prepared to give Flanno until next year, with Reed at halfback, the addition of Koloamatangi and our young forwards being another year older, before writing Flanno off. If we could sign Cleary or Webster, I would take them, but the others people are mentioning are gambles, that if I was our CEO, I wouldn't bet my job on.
