It will be interesting to see how far Flanagan can take the Dragons. Every time this year the opportunity has upped the intensity Kyle has become an ineffective passenger.
They can't be top 4 or win the comp with Kyle in the halves.
Really? I thought the opposite. Just like Luai, I saw the Tigers as the most logical move for him. Has family and friends here, doesn't have to move house and gets more money.
Love the change up in the backrow. I would have gone Paps to lock and allow Bateman back on his preferred right hand side, but hopefully the two interchange between the roles during the game.
Yesterday's ref was poor for both teams. In my opinion the game came down to who could take advantage of him the best. Unfortunately this is a part of the game we always fail at.
Penrith took full advantage by holding us up in defence and when the ref called held they then wrestled us to the...

Sezer taking too many poor options when that's his sole job. Not good enough. Might as well back thw kids.
Fainu has to stay on an edge. He runs a decent line and has genuine skill. Papali'i to the middle and Pole to the bench.
I can't handle Papali'i...
Poor execution at crucial times really cost us. Our halfback who is purely in the team to lead and take the right option rook nearly every wrong option yet again.
Our halves play too wide, too deep and play to early, particularly Sezer. We looked better when Latu was on the way he straightens...
I agree there isn't an agenda as such. Why would there be? I also think the negative points you made about Alex's game are correct, however I think you have emphasised them to a far more negative degree then what is actually happening on the field just to emphasise your point. Just my opinion.
He is trying a lot harder IMO, but he really struggles to know what lines to run. Everyone on our shifts to the right yesterday were terrible and affected our cohesion, but id say he was the worst one out of sync.
As far line running goes, AJ is our only backrower who can do it. Gee I wish he...
There is no getting around that second half performance, but 3 moments in the first half really put us in trouble. First was Api's missed kick. If he gets that kick we don't have to take the 2 later. We score there and lead 12-4.
2nd was Pole falling asleep on DeBelin to allow and easy offload...
Doesn't matter what ground you play at, if you take every wrong option, lack heart in defence, run embarrassingly bad lines on the edges, kick pathetically and simply play dumb you have no chance.
Today could be the start of the end of our season. We will now be 2 and 5 after Penrith and...
