He can backflip all he likes, as long as he doesn't end up here.
No thanks to Flanno!
Maybe next season, when his emotions have played out, would Flanagan make a decent assistant coach for us?
Ennis has now left the Dragons. I didn't realise he was the attack coach. Yikes!!!! The Dragons attack was easily the worst in the NRL. Worst attack I'd seen in some years. Poor old Ennis just ruined whatever coaching aspirations he had.
No surprise here., but , now there are two coaching positions for 2 top coaches.
But
Who will get who.? What about NQ. Do they hold out with their coach and risk getting the third best coach?
Manly are going pretty good. Will they risk waiting and wind up with the third best coach.
I think NQ will act first and have their first choice coach. This will force manly to announce a head coach . not Forran. Manly don't want the 3rd best coach available
Nobody will accept the dragons head coaching gig.
