  • And there were some wanting Flanagan to replace BA.

    • I'm glad some of those on here that wanted flanno are not working in the front office

      • ...but they are active on this site LOL

    • Yes I certainly remember that, can't quite remember who tho ?????

    • Flanno only had one winning strategy, and that was pumping his team full of peptides. When the mean old NRL took that away from him he realised that coaching was hard.

    • I did.

      Dragons are a shit show.The Dragons have a bigger problem than chopping the Head Coach. Players are taking no accountability. Val Holmes should slap himself across the head.

      The Dragons could have beaten the Dogs, Titans and us. They choked all 3 and lost at the end close games. 

       

  • I'm hearing the senior players layed down

    • Gutho said if Flanno goes, he, Cook and Lawrie will go. That led to their decision to sack Flanagan hahahaha

      • lets see if thet do go 

        King Gutho lol full of shit 

        • Clown Gutho more like it 😂😂

"I have been wrong before lol.
I thought MA would be much better than what his career is right now. I thought Alamadine would be a much better winger but I feel he has made minimal progression since we won SG ball in 2023. Ethyn Martin, I got no idea…"

"yes Lorenzo is the real deal but like any young half, he has things to work on. He has been compared to a young Milford. Defensively he is fine. Can get exposed a bit but again he is young."
