Flano to the dogs?

[The Lip]

Robbo has seemingly lost it and this was clearly demonstrated with his reaction in the coaching box vs Riff- Dumping Flano is crazy as if Lam and or Walker don't work out which is a big possibility what next??. Better judges than any of us are saying Walker is not ready for NRL and needs a full season in reserves as well as putting on a bit of bulk and working on aspects of his game especially defence.

A lot on here don't rate Lam at all let alone as the starting half in 2021- If Lam starts at half SST will be the main goal kicker for instance - If this decisions turns into a disaster then Robbo has to fall on his sword and let Fitzy take over.

Robbo admitted faults in his coaching during the year which is the first time iv'e heard him say these things and maybe he is in need of a break and a new voice is needed in the dressing room /at training including new methods of playing.

2021 has a 2016 feel to it already

Hey Salvo take your pils man - we know you don’t like the way they make you feel but it’s gotta be better than this.

Some key decisions on the playing roster will need to be made. This is his job.

I'm sure Robbo knows what needs to happen. He's not blind from what I can see.

[King Salvo]

2020 has a real 2017 feel to it.
You said exactly the same things when we got rid of Pearce for Cronk.
Robbo will be sacked if we don't win a premiership.
Players will rebel.
You even said that Pearce should partner Cronk and Keary should be on the bench.

Obviously Robbo has a bit better judgement than you.

You bombarded a dozen threads with the same BS you have been spinning the last week.
Here's a reminder for you.

Sorry Thirteen.

Glad your following the thoughts of the King - hail the King

Post of the year.

Queen Salvo is a drama queen who seems to panic at every little thing.

mmm where's my axe man need to lob a few heads off a few pesky peasants

Very confused with the decision to cut Kyle out. Until the ill fated souffs game, Kyle was the leading point scorer and leading goal kicker. He also scored way more trys than Ryan Hall yet after one season he is told he wont be needed after 2021? I don't get it. Lam has been with us for a few years and hasn't shown enough to be considered as our main half but he is still here, but Kyle after 18 or so games with us plus a handful for the sharks being let go? There better be a very good plan to replace Kyles points!

100%

[dice]

Lam played well in that 8-60 thrashing.

Flanno?
Keep him...almost leading point scorer in nrl.
Next year will be another rebuilding year.
Maybe he can be coached by Cronk.

Rebuilding year?

We are just two players down from a very dominant b2b premiership team, and despite all our injury woes, we came within a bees dick of beating Panthers and still being premiership favourites this weekend. Keary/Cords/Teddy/SST all 27-28yo and having 2-3 years left at or near their best. There is absolutely zero chance that next year is a rebuilding year. If peeps understood that one point then the ruthless Flanno sacking would make a lot more sense.

We also have to keep in mind there could be off field issues. PK alluded to this a couple of nights ago on 360 he claimed that Kyle didn’t rub well with the senior blokes and had trouble fitting into our chemistry. It is a cut throat decision but the boss believes it needs to be done.

[OMR]

Let me see if I missed something. Flannigan was signed for20/21, so in effect he was free to negotiate a contract for 2022 gon November 1 this year, is that correct?
We had also signed Walker for the same years but with plans to make him long term halfback ala Pearce was brought along, am I right so far?
The way I see it then is the club is on track with their plans, and if Flannigan doesn’t leave now he’ll still be playing for us next season whilst Walker continues his build up in lower grade. If however Flannigan departs then the Walker plan is expedited and we persevere with him for the next 3-5 years and let him develop his game next to Keary as Cleary did next to Maloney at Penrith.
Much ado about nothing.

100% OMR.
We told him he won't be offered a contract after next year.
We have given him the option to secure something now.
He can decide to stay. But there is a chance he won't play in the GF next year.
Ball in your court.

Paul Green is available

Your anti-Robbo agenda got some traction in 2016. Now it's like trying to get the Clintons to vote for Trump.

i feel so sorry for flanno its not like ou 4wards were that gr8 this they have a lot to answer to

I agree with this. There is more to it than meets the eye.

I trust in Robbo's and the club's judgement everytime.

TIT.

[Thirteen]

Yes we let go of Farmer and as good as throw Flanno out the door. Clearing the decks for someone. How exciting!

[OMR]

I feel for Flannigan and he’ll probably have a long and successful tenure at wherever he plays , but most tend to forget that he was dropped mid year ( to my and many others surprise), so there must have been an issue back then, and only when Lam was injured was he recalled to first grade.
