He belongs there but I don't think he's got a big ego. Probably a very decent person. Just not a good RL player.
No idea. That's what recruitment staff are for. Could also look at turning someone into a hooker. Wasn't Egan a backup halfback for the Panthers?
Mate I'm with you here but there's nothing you and I can do about it ..... It's done , like I said its not the worse signing for 2 years ..... The problem is captain courageous wont play at 9 when needed to give Liddle a rest ....... And Flanno is to gutless to put him there because he might whinge and want to leave again ......
Not the worst but bad signing after bad signing while letting our best back and probable best forward go! Astonishing.
Yep stuff up after stuff up ...... If you look at it Robson , Cook , Garrick , Luciano , the Morris boys , now Lomax ( can't get my head around that one ) Jack D . Let Luciano go then got him back as they have done with Cook ...... Let Saab go when we were screaming for speed ....... Bent over backwards to keep Hunt who rubbished the joint and wanted out ...... Signed Norman ( another dud on good money ) then don't get me started on all the retirement signings ...... Then our CEO retired then came back on the board ...... The jobs for the boys is still alive ...... So there has been a lot of F**K ups before Flanno , let's hope he can change , but it seems to be continuing ........
That is all true..... makes me so angry!
Analysis = true
Definitely holds some kind of grudge against the Couchman and Finau brothers. The form of the Couchmans was so good, it became comical the way he was leaving both out. Now he's forced to pick Toby but is giving minimal minutes even though one of his strengths is his ability to play long minutes without losing much intensity.
Flannos recruitment reminds me of Bennett at Newcastle. The players he was signing at Newcastle were good players. But obviously they were not going to be good for much longer. The result was a good Newcastle team went off a cliff with the salary cap a disaster zone. Several formerly good players on big money. This is what Flanno is doing to us. Maybe he's just lost it as most coaches do. The game moves on but they don't. Flanno is still thinking when Cronulla won but minus PEDs and cap cheating. Simply doesn't work anymore.
Toby can't afford a single bad game because he'll be sent back to the NSW Cup for the rest of the year if he has a single bad game. If only the same standard applied to Kyle.
Dont reckon it is a grudge , just that he did not bring them here. If this is the case, then the man is bordering on paranoia or delusion. We get all the strange coaches.
Wouldn't rule that out.
I like Cookie, but this is telling me that Liddles spot as our #1 hooker is not all that secure and that Haele Finau is now unwanted. Tell me our 'esteemed' coach , did you want to coach this club so you could add further to its downfall?
.. and any one else under performing. Some been worse than Kyle this season.
One is young , but doesn't seem to be able to play 80min ( not sure why ) the other is older and legs are getting tired ....... But both are quick enough to trouble the opposition ........ So if they both share the role and they can go hard for 40min each I think this may work .......
x2 .......
Bird and BMM? Wouldn't argue with that. Though BMM has had one or two good games so that's debatable. But his job should be much easier. Use your weight and speed to run hard, make metres and tackle. Kyle is supposed to be a playmaker with little to no ability to break tackles.
