We’ll have a fight on our hands
Flanagan rumoured on a 2 year deal at Leeds

Flanagan just announced on a 2 year deal at Leeds

Calm before the storm. It’s not like Paul Kent to get incorrect mail.
Isn’t that where Austin and Sezer play. Don’t like Flanagan Jnr’s chances.

Possible - hard to tell with “rumours” around the start of April

 

[innsaneink]

First saw it yesty thought it had to be an April.fools.thing

 

[Harvey]

If Flanagan is demanding to bring his son, we should me looking for a different coach

 

[getagrip]

Lets break it down

1) if this was a remote chance and agreements made the leaks would be thick and fast as this impacts not just us but the bulldogs (they would be over the moon) and dragons (shane is an assistant). All 3 clubs suck at keeping secrets.

2) board meetings would be held to 1st agree to sack Madge then we would have to open the door to recruit a new coach. interim would be appointed. This process takes months. Sheens wouldn't just jump in and have someone like Shane ready to appoint when Morris and others could be options.

3) Bulldogs to take on Brooks need more than Kyle to be handed over, the salaries aren't even close to be comparable. Bulldogs need to fit Sutton in before Brooks and they can't do that yet.


This is just an april fools joke. Can't see it happening.

Hope you are right.

Debate continues to rage because the media continue the mass debate about it..

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

Flanagan is being promoted by Fox Sport - calls games and is on so-called expert panels. The guy rorted the NRL over drugs & Salary Cap issues. Why on God's Green Earth is he anywhere near an NRL job?

That's a lot of mass debating

Didn’t he ring and complain to one of the best coaches in the last 20 years that his son wasn’t getting a fair go?

I don’t know what’s more embarrassing - your dad ringing your boss telling him how to do his job… or having to ring your sons boss and tell him he should be getting a game…

Either way, they’re both sooks who can’t handle the fact that no one wants em…

 

[GNR4LIFE]

If Kyle needs his father for a first grade gig, that should end the discussion right there on the player he is.

 

[Bones]

I’d rather we sign Kitty Flanagan to play half than Kyle.

If you believe the media. We tend to pick and choose when we do that.

Surely we aren't this dumb

No, but we are desperate

Can’t find the Madge article but I’d like to highlight a segment on The Fan on FOX Sports.
All of this years coaches were asked;
Would you rather play great and lose
Or
Play terribly and Win.
Every coach except two said “oh I’ll take the two points every time”.
The two that didn’t, Trent Robinson; gave a big spill about how in a season, seasons decades of games that will win out. If you focus just on the end result your just going to go through peaks and troughs throughout your tenure.
Madge Maguire was the other one; Said that the habits you are trying to form are to develop good performance, this will lead you up for a succession of wins.

I really respect Trent Robinson as a coach, and I was pleased to hear that ours also has the same vision.
In saying that, given the way the whole team has progressed or more accurately regressed in recent seasons, it makes sense that Madge does think this way. He isn’t deterred by the lack of a win, as long as the goal of improving the performance is there.

Someone mentioned in the spoon thread that we’ll probably win it this year, but in the same sentence said we aren’t far from becoming a consistent top 8 team.

It looks dire right now but I feel that longevity is the philosophy and goal of both Madge and Sheens at this moment.

And finally employing the Flanagan’s in key roles as a knee jerk goes right agaisnt that philosophy.

This is the post of the week. Thx @Needaname .

The WTs have been a joke for many years. The changes required are in the standards and culture and this takes time.

We recruit like its Covid at Aldi. Taking whatevers left.

This is starting to change in 2023.

Im still a solid Madge supporter for a little longer.

He isnt a quitter and understands whats required to get this club out of its 15year rut.

Kyle > Bwooks
Former roosters half .. what’s not to like ?

At least you'll be able to keep your punchline - I'll give it a week before you start the Punt Flanagan thread. 🙂

A swap of Brookes for Flanagan would help us move Brookes on nd I think we need that. It's become clear nothing will change with Brookes in the team.

As long as it's clear Flanagan has no expectations of being start up 1/2 I'm OK because I want to see how Madden/ Hastings/ Douehi combos will work out. We will need a 1/2 to play 2nd grade if Madden gets the call up and chance. While he amy not have won us games I think he has shown real energy and enough skill to warrant a chance.
As for Flanagan Sr - no thanks. A cheat is always a cheat.

 

[Spacecub]

I can see positives, brooks Thompson swap, we get flanno snr and jnr pick up Nikora and xerri when his ban lifts...but honestly i don’t care, madge is my man he cares for the club and wants success for now and the next 20 years. I’ll stick with madge Atleast for next year if he can’t get results then we can talk about a new coach

Come on Jimmy, Maguire is only human his only care is for his hip pocket, he knows when he loses this gig, he won't get another coaching job again, he may pick up a role in England, but any smart club will look at how he's stuffed this club

This club was stuffed well before he got here.Look at the standard of players we were getting to the club before he got here.
