Well as you say back in the day ..... Yes played with Young and Co and it comes back to not being intimidated and you need a bit of arrogance about you , and you will do ok ...... Respect your view but I have mine .......

Assistant coachNRL head coach-in-waiting: Dean Young and Michael Ennis
One of the brighter coaching staffs in the game, with Flanagan a premiership winner and both Young and Ennis earmarked as coaches of the future. Ennis was seen as a potential successor to Anthony Seibold at the Sea Eagles, while Young has long been in the Dragons’ coaching ranks. Despite recent issues, the Dragons have built a defensively focused structure with enough youth to help develop players.
Verdict: Defensive steel with future head coaches in the wings.

I think the only one that can give us some insight to what the club is thinking wrt Reed is
Mug Fan, anything else is hearsay, hopes and dreams and pure guesswork.

Willie Talau is a big part of the coaching team.

just hoping Ennis and Talau hang around, rly feeling like 2027 will be our first year where we can really make some in-roads up the ladder.

Willie Talau’s a stud. So glad he’s got a big role
He coached us when I played with his son and learnt so much about edge defence and technique in a few hours it was unreal
His resumé as a coach with teams he’s had is great. Always makes a team greater than the sum of their parts

It won't take very long for Reed to prove he is better than King-Togia

lol
Reed is a halfback and King-Togia is a 5/8.

Maybe so Frank, but I'd still rather know where he stands from the clubs perspective and what plans they have for him. We can talk about it all we like but at the end of the day, its the coaches who will have the final say of when , where and how.

perhaps listen to Flano on the website then.

I felt like his heart wasnt in todays interview.. probably jack of the week where every question is Kyle, Daniel and Kade.. and some variation of.. throw in Vals hammie now also.
Atleast we have a game this weekend then into vegas, and that will give us some new stuff to talk about.. well hopefully.

As predicted, he has gotten even worse. Someone lacking talent at his age will always get worse. I hope this also puts an end to the idea he could make a decent hooker. Stop trying to make a spot for him somewhere in the team and get used to the idea he has no business in first grade.

What a complete disappointment , right around , yes I know it was only a trial but you would have thought they would have put enough points on them to win the game against a team that was so under staffed ....... Was I surprised no , not really , Im starting to think Flanno coached team is stuck in the past ....... He just relies on big bulky players that have no speed and can only attack when in oppositions quarter ....... As for new guy Fale is he any better than Feagai , I say no ....... And as for the winger Setu Tu that couldn't crack a first grade spot and is now likely to be one of our wingers , but we had a speedster young player in Sione Finau that scored 2 tries yesterday for the Raiders and they let him go ....... You need speed in a team to be able to turn a game and go 90m ....... Seems to me Coach Flanno just wants big bulky player type , speed doesn't matter to him ....... Anyway yep it's just a trial but for me I hope I'm wrong it's going to be a long season ....... Atkinson as a 7 still not sure Kyle at 6 is becoming a joke ........

the entire spine looked like they skipped the basic skills lessons ...
Some of the passing was just terrible ... slow, behind, to the ground, mis timed .. you name it the spine did it ...
The forwards to me look more than capable ... the spine and outside backs though are an absolute disaster zone.

Val, Gutho and hopefully Atko excepted the rest of the backs are KOE grade.
Suli is one who should be better in attack at least if he could only find a step to put some doubt in the defenders minds. Hard as he runs he just gets lined up and hit by a couple tacklers every time. Was it one try in the whole season for 2025? That is ridiculous for a centre.

He’s a very limited outside back, no footwork or pre line movement. Terrible aerially and defence the last 12 months has become optional

Shift him to edge ? but who takes his place ?
