Sack Flanno….

He took over a team/roster either fav or second fav for the spoon. A team that has struggled to sign quality in demand players since 2012. A club that was knocked by numerous prospective coaches since Bennett left, including Bellamy, Bennett, Ciraldo, Slater and Ryles. A club that the only 2 "aplicants" for the head coaching role were Dean Young and Ben Hornby. A club that managers didn't want their players to sign with, long before Flanno arrived. A club that has been surviving on other club's off cuts since 2012. If he got the players he wanted, then you could blame Flanno, but he didn't get the players he wanted. In 2019 Phil Gould said our problems were not our coach, who was then McGreggor. The rot started in 2012. Not when Flanno took over. The ship was sinking long before he got here and he wasn't able to turn it around in a 2 years and 5 games. Blaming Flanno for 14 years of failure is very short sighted. lol Remember when Souths couldn't sign anyone up until Crowe and Holmes A Court bought them and they then signed Asotasi. I predicted that we could end up like that in 2012. I wish I wasn't right about that one, but the writing was on the wall then. Before the merger "joint venture" did Illawarra ever sign a big name in demand player who wasn't at the end of his career? If so, name them.

I do think he should have been playing Reed since game one this season, instead of Kyle. That alone could have saved his coaching career. I think he should have been playing Leilua at prop all season and not had Lawrie in first grade.
Took over a team fav or second fav for the spoon and in 2, going on 3 years he's turned them into favourites for the spoon.

You are such a moron you don't even know you constantly contradict yourself.

You cant say knocked us back Frank when they never formally applied, Fitzgibbon wanted to stay with the Roosters, Ciraldo was already tied up by Gus, and Slater had his commitments to media and Melbourne
You can say knocked back when we approached them and offered them the job, but they knocked it back.

Fitzgibbon, Ciraldo and Slater all come to mind.
This is what I don't understand about your comments. Maybe you are just that schizo no one of sound mind can understand.

Unless you have some inside info, which you obviously don't, Flanno was the second choice after Ryles. Unless you consider some Fox personality speculating ********* might be interested in the Dragons job or vice-versa, an offer. And as far as Ryles himself, he was a rookie coach coming in and making all kinds of demands. Club said, "no" so I'm not sure if that even counts as "an offer".

So why do you constantly say stuff like this? Is it that you want to illicit, "No one wants to go to the Dragons because they aren't based in a state capital and therefore can't win the competition ever"? I think that is exactly it. The way you keep bringing it up despite it annoying everyone and despite it being an utterly demented opinion, suggests to me you have serious problems. I've had enough personally.

Flanno obviously has to take responsibility for the position we’re in. However, his biggest misstep may well have been bringing the new attacking coach on board. Before we were decimated by injuries last year, Ryan Carr looked to be doing a reasonable job and probably getting as much as anyone could out of a slow backline.
