Sack Flanno….

Brent Read on NRL 360 tonight said that Drinkwater is joining the Dragons he also said that rumours are that KK wants out of the deal to join us. My guess is he wants to go to the Eels and play with Su'A. KK was linked to go to the Eels but we gave in and granted a longer term so he signed with us. Ryles is going to do the dirty on us and by getting Su'a he will get KK to come to that Club. My views if the rumours are correct.

Su'A talks been going on for awhile, KK would of know there was a big chance he wouldn't be here.
Read just laying in the boot as usual.

I hate this old boys narrative that the next coach has to be one to get everyone ‘onside’

f*ck that, that’s what poorly run clubs with idots in charge do. Just do the due diligence and hire the best in class. Even if you gotta pay through the nose to get them in

Anasta laying the boot in even more, hes loving life.. I just hate how they make up the missing details, tonight he asks 'So did the Dragons want to keep Su'a?' The Journos had no idea.. so just assumed yes ofcourse.. and the narrative continues.

Also not 1 journo has mentioned Halangahu or NickyT as 2nd row options for next year.. its one of the things I dislike about all of em bar maybe Caryannis... BlokeinaBar annoys me the most cause he makes so much content on the game... but never look beyond the starting 17, they dont even know clubs Top 30's when they talk, let alone dev spots etc.. this assumption that KK will play on an edge even.. I mean ffs.. look at our roster.. we need a big middle.. we do not need another 2nd rower..

For the full time rugby league content they do it’s very much the same thoughts in that echo chamber in the studio

They need someone like the shortball on the show (doubt they’d do it) to actually weigh in and say ‘hey guys, they’re actually stacked in the back row with kids coming through so it’s not really a big issue. It’s what top clubs do to manage their cap effectively’

I'm not in the business of defending Anasta but Flanno has done such a good job of hiding them away in NSW Cup while the veterans he recruited or extended just get worse, Anasta might not have any clue about how good they are.

100% as I said in an earlier post, everything is too hard for the Dragons, have a look at the way we have employed all the coaches since Bennett. What the hell holds them back from thinking outside the box. I remember reading posts that if we stuffed up the Flanno decision that the club would be in dire straights. I know hindsight is a wonderful thing, but yet here we are and we are in dire straights and some. So now what can we possibly say about this next coach but god help us, we are in a world of hurt !!!

100% they occasionally get some more left-field info from Guru, but Shortball would be great too (he needs to change up his video format also).. probably needs to be Flegg or Cup content though.. kids that are potentially 1-2yrs away.... but the occasional mention of a 17s or 19s superstar im sure fans would enjoy too......

They Bloke guys did mention that its hard to watch 8 first grade games each week 'for their job'.. year on year... so I get it.. but would love them to spend another day a week researching instead of just repeating the same content each day... but of course more content = more money.. I will say one thing though.. they had Blake Austin on in 1 episode last week... guy was an absolute breath of fresh air.. like I rly enjoyed his take on stuff.... it is a fine line though, cause I also enjoy Gordon Tallis's take on things too. he thinks different... but I dont need his thoughts on every issue.. nor every day.. less is more.

NRL team is in dire straights but the club is doing quite well as far as I know. Maybe that's the problem. They are all scrambling for bonuses they get regardless of how the team is doing.
