Going to be big changes. Even Flanno can no longer protect one player. Not talking about Illias.
If Flanno can drop him, it'll be a huge weight off his shoulders. I think you will see a completely different coach. Picking Blocker, after he was comprehensively outplayed by Tonga, Latu and Liu in reserve grade was a good pointer to where Flanno is at as a coach. He needs to find the willpower to drop Kyle.
I'm jumping on the halves bandwagon. One of them must go. I'd say it should be Kyle since Ilias does all the kicking. Sloan and Lawrie also. Lawrie looked so slow out there. The game has moved on and left Lawrie behind. Sloan can't make a tackle. I know he is very talented but just not tough enough to make it in first grade.
I think it will be 4 in row. Souths with Murray and Mitchell, Melbourne without Hughes, Parramatta without Moses and next week to make it 4.
One of LKTs strengths is his kicking game.
I think he's a good coach but his determination for Kyle to play first grade is going to be his undoing.
Has he lost his mind? Does he want to lose? He should say something like, "I'm not ruling out any changes. No one is safe."
Love those changes, particularly Latu very keen to see him in first grade. I do wonder if Lawson might get a crack on the right wing as well, he looks pretty good out on that side.
Love those changes too. The only issue I have is that there needs to be more. The idea they are 'close' as Flanno keeps saying and as he has Gutho saying is clearly delusional. That game against Parra looked like the two worst teams in the comp by a mile but they were the better team and they were missing their best player. You might say I'm negative. It would be true. How can any Dragons fan watch that abomination of a game last Sat and not be negative?
No doubt we will win this one

Wishing thinking. They have a better coach, that's for sure.
Lets wait and see the team he actually names tomorrow but I'm getting the same kind of vibes as from Griffin shortly before he was sacked. They were not only losing but playing really badly and he just kept picking the same team. It was astonishing! In his defence, NSW Cup team was also rubbish then. The current NSW Cup team is a gun team.
