Round 6 v Manly

[Mailroomsgi]

He’s resigned til 2028 hasn’t he?

Another contract burning a hole in our cap, f*ck we have made some awful recruitment and retention decisions under Flanno’s tenure

If only we could fast forward 2-3 years from now and see the project or pathway Ando shifts to for the roster

Speed and athleticism has to be the way, these George rose or 2025 Luciano Leilua types aren’t the way, I’d go as far to say the Tuipolotu/Suli body shapes in the backs aren’t the model anymore

These fast twitch backs like McLean/savage/Koula who can create something out of nothing or take advantage of half chances are the ones excelling these days

I would genuinely have a recruitment policy where players aged 29 or older can’t be signed unless they are exceptional (subjective but you get the jist) + no longer than 2 years

It’s a young man’s game and the only guys getting let go by clubs are aging stars (Drinkwater/holmes/Gutho) or fringe first graders like Illias/Fale

Flano jnr and snr will move to England, they’ll do well there too and I wish them the best

Hope it's true but I doubt it. No club will sign them as a package deal after what has happened with the Dragons these last 2 years.

Well people, one of our most defining days in the history of this club. The crowd at the Gong will eat them alive if another display like last week is produced, but they will also cheer them to the hilt if they come out firing. IMO what I have seen in the last few weeks is a team that is not playing for the coach. I have listened to all the media BS this week, but have also read some pretty good articles that show the damning facts with SF at the helm. I dont know what to really think about this game, if we lose, there will be some massive repercussions, but if we win, do we really win or just get relief for a week and then get smashed for another 9 games. Unfortunately that is my state of mind, and has been now for quite a while. I say this every year that we have so many problems and issues, starting from the top, I'm actually mentally drained and tired, gone are the days we put a team to the sword and gone are the days where I know my team will show up consistently win, lose or draw. For the sake of this club, I hope we can redeem ourselves, Go the Dragons !!!
