At least a double.

 

[Justadragon]

At least a double.

And Dufty as well

Its sad that died in the wool, ancient in years, supporters like myself just have this 6th sense that my team just won't win this weekend because nothing has changed. 1 injury required change Feigai for Suli. Is that the best we can come up with?

I think my Anzac Day is going to be a very long day again this year. Lest we forget.

 

[Edward]

I’m shocked that you’re shocked that the moron selected basically the same team bar a forced change with Suli

I've said a few times, I think Flanno wants out. He's a grandfather and he's tired. The criticism Kyle has gotten really hurts Flanno and the whole family, as he said.

But if he walks away, his payout is substantially less or nothing at all. So he wants to get sacked.

Nothing else about what he is doing makes any sense to me.

 

[Red T]

But if Flanno was deliberately trying to get sacked that would be the lowest of the low.

I am sure it appeals Bennetts sense of humour to unleash Dufty against his former club.

Well hopefully he gets his wish at ft on Anzac Day. I’d expect some form of club announcement by 6pm that night right after the game, EPL style.

 

[blacksafake]

No wonder LPT has asked for permission to look elsewhere after looking at team selection today. There’ll probably be others lining up.

Your theory makes sense, Edward. It does look like Flanno wants out, and I believe the club would be comfortable settling on a fair severance to make that happen. A figure in the $400–500k range has been mentioned in another thread, which feels about right. I don’t see it as a stand‑off, more that the club wants him to stay in place until the replacement is settled and the timing lines up, which may be the bye week.

 

[Dragon David]

I honestly think that if we get Bellamy in say two weeks time or even have Bennett back, would they have any real success with the bunch of players we have? Maybe they might throw caution to the wind and play some younger kids, who have got a bit more x factor about them and with a tad more speed, from the lower grades, but would that actually get us wins? It is such a predicament and I am glad that I don't have to make the decisions on any of this drama. Sack Flanno, who takes over? Young, Hornby, Talau, Arthur, Demetriou? Good luck!!

Souths in a canter on Saturday night my friends.

I have never heard of an NRL coach wanting out, without having another club to go to, such as Hasler to Canterbury or Cleary to Penrith.
