What advice? Lol mate I dont care if you dont want to watch it but why on earth are you arguing about it then, what a strange train of thought.

Kyle had yet another shocker. Offered nothing at all in attack but had crucial mistakes. Flanno will point to him backing up for the try Sloan laid on as evidence he was yet again the Dragons best. Poor Flanno. Kyle should be a plumber or house painter but his old man is madly insisting he has to be an NRL player.

Sir, I'm just about to listen to it now. If it's a rival coach telling us how good any under pressure Dragons player is....... I give up
. We should also pawn off our recruitment and retention to rival clubs.I was pretty much neutral in regard to Kyle until Flanno implored Phil Rothfield to "ask other coaches" what they think about him. Let me take a wild guess and say "rival coaches" think Kyle is the best halfback since Andrew Johns but none of them want to sign him.

FFS, just like I imagined. Even worse. It was like he had it all prepared and was just waiting to say it but as the opportunity never arose, he went out of his way to say how awesome Kyle was. Don't you understand he's a rival coach? It's insulting a rival coach thinks so little of us and amusing Mr Wild383 takes it serious.
Hey, Mr Wild383, why is Mr Ilias stuck in reserve grade? Why is there so much hate for Mr Ilias in this forum? The defence of Mr K. Flanagan can only = hate for Mr Ilias.
Ilias hasn’t exactly been destroying reserve grade either mate

True. Never said Mr Ilias is the answer. Just saying Mr Ilias and Mr K. Flanagan isn't the answer. Mr K. Flanagan and Mr King-Togia isn't the answer. So what's the 3rd way? This is all I'm saying.
Sloan and Finau gave them more speed on the flanks. I would keep them there, rather than play Allen who cost a try by pushing a player under the high kick and missing a tackle. When they were down and played a more adventurous game they looked better. They were consistently losing the field position battle. Some odd refereeing decision too ! If they kicked to Sloane and it worked why didn’t they do it again in the closing minutes when they had nothing to lose. The try on halftime (should not have taken the two points), Weekes scoring off a kick return and the try when Allen missed the tackle cost the Dragons.
Why does Kyle always kick into a corner when there is space down the middle ?

Thats the game plan and the Raiders fullback tore us to shreds last night. Kick return is another big issue that I have previously mentioned that really needs attention

Some of our best, Cook then Su'A then JDB, then Gutho were responsible for that try.

Flanagan screaming blue murder that we wus robbed by the whistle blower denying us 6 vital points with the early Sloan disallowed. To be so injury depleted yet to get so close to the comp front runner is a JOB WELL DONE BOYS.

So the general consensus is that Finau and Sloan should remain on our flanks. But will our 'esteemed' coach agree.

That was what Sloan did best from the back. Gutho too slow.
What a rubbish take and completely missing the point as usual, I'll finish with this regarding the presser: the same person in the media went into both pressers with a loaded question about something that didn't happen (I was there neither team was booing other then kicks) trying to manufacture yet another story about Kyle to continue the pile on, all im saying is I for one am glad both coaches called them out on their BS for once.
Illias is stuck in reserve grade because he has been average at best and outshined by Glover in nearly every way in just about every game. If you spent more time actually watching these things before arguining, you'd see that.
Spot on cant blame Cookie for the effort on the chase but the lazy arms from Sua and JDB were particularly dissapointing followed up by a very poor 1 on effort from Gutho. The fact liddle chased him down was very impressive but no one there to help him.

Has twice as many try assists as Flanagan. Maybe more. Talking rubbish as usual.

But that doesn't mean Kyle didn't play badly YET AGAIN.

Ilias hasn't kicked down the door demanding to be reinstated but Kyle has opened it for him. There is no need to kick down the door.

A has been. Liddle should be our #1 dummy half choice.

Cook? Behind a better pack, I think he'd still be good. He and JDB were wrong footed, LKT, Su'A and Gutho hung an arm out which their fullback ignored.
