I know Blocka has been sliding for a while, especially since the 6 again rule started, but if Gular has another bad game and Blocka still isn't recalled, will it be similiar to the Sione Finau situation? Coach just doesn't rate him no matter what?
Blocker sealed his fate late in the game when he flew out of the line, whiffed his tackle on Sandon who made him look like a fool and cost us another try, that alone wouldve pissed Flanno off no end given how bad the game was already and it wouldve been his 3rd or 4th missed tackle at that point. Guler probs gets another game or two after coming back from the suspension but I think (hope) Loko is right there ready to grab that bench spot when he gets the chance, otherwise if Sele is fit you'd think he gets the next chance.
I see. I didn't watch until the end. Missed that but his stats compared to Gular's tell a story regardless of one more try rubbing salt into the wound.
Its fairly disappointing that we have to rely on players being out of a side so we have a better chance at a win, especially the Tigers, my my how the mighty have fallen.
Agree, you would have thought being his 150th it would have been a better performance. no way he's at the Dragons for much longer, regardless of his contract.
Flanno is struggling badly. Thanks for saying it. I'm not allowed. I really hope he can turn it around and I think he can.
You can. It's only a question of whether you can take the heat if most disagree with you.
I'm a bit confused, I've seen Lawson play in the centres as well as Allen, now they are on the wing. I think that winger is a specialist position, I dont think Sloan has mastered it yet either. I would have left Finau there for another chance.

The delusion is out of all control.The Dragons dropped Lachlan Ilias. There’s a reason why Kyle Flanagan won’t be next
How can the Dragons coach relegate his son out from first grade when he is one of the Red V’s best performers each week.www.smh.com.au

I feel for Flanno on this. He's blinded by love for his only son. This is on Dean Young. He has to pull Flanno aside and lay down the law regarding Kyle. It will ruin his relationship with Flanno but as is, the entire coaching staff is going to get sacked anyway. Better Deano walks away. His name is big enough that he can find a job elsewhere but that's unlikely for Carr. That's why it has to be Deano.
I am 50/50 on whether Finau should have been retained this week. I was sitting on the eastern side of the ground on Friday night and I had a pretty good view of the sideline. In defence, Finau seemed unsure of when to come in and take the inside man or when to stay on his wing and hope someone would cover the inside attacker. Of course, he and Sloan are capable of scoring from broken play and long range tries. In relation to Lawson, he would not be my first-choice winger at this stage of his development, but as we are down to number four, I think he is probably next up.
Deserves a bit more than one chance, doesn't he? It's not as if he was that bad.
I read a comment, I think it was here, about turning Gutho into a halfback, Ben Hornby style. I have little doubt he could pull it off. I have more doubt about Sloan playing fullback again. He had a few good games there but badly let us down much more often.
