I must be in the ultra ultra minority because I'd be happy with Flanno.
He still denies he knew about the peptides but let's just assume he did. He's paid his penalty, he's a bloody good coach and his players all supported him.
Don't we give people a second chance?

Morals aside, he's the best coach available. He's better than Madge.

It is more than morals mate, it is about the safety of players.

I know you want him gone too but imo Madge is 10x more of a threat to player safety than Flanagan.

I do subscribe to the theory that he knew about the drug program but do you really think there is any chance at all he would start it again here when every single person/player in rugby league knows about what happened? I agree player safety is a huge factor but I just struggle to think of any scenario at all where he’d even contemplate doing anything along those lines again.

Honest question.

Sorry but that's just laughable to suggest that. 🙂

If you knew the stuff I know it’s really not.

I understand the point about Flanagan though.

Ok, well lets hear what you know. The implication is that our current coach is a serious threat to player safety. I await your next post to back that up with facts.

 

[Magpieger]

Preferably, i'd stick with Madge. Just wish he was more ruthless in his team selections... talks tough in a post-presser but picks the same old a few days later.
Flanno's an ex-Maggie and yes, he was a hard-head with a habit of toeing the line, but its that starch... that toughness, ruggedness... that arrogance that you're better than your opponent and with an ingrained desire not to let him get the better of you that we need to instill in the playing group. Blocker's spoken about that mindset before... Never lie down, never give up, just tuck the chin in and keep on swinging.
Flanno's Sharks were littered with rough gentlemen that had a desire to win, however ugly. Thats what he built his team on.
That should be a legacy of the Tigers and Magpies DNA that binds us to our heritage.
Flanno seems to have a connection with this character type, and knows how to deal with it, unlike Madge.
As for Flanno's past indescretions... how much grubbery has Melb introduced to the game and yet Bellyache is lauded as the games greatest ever coach?... Its laughable!
I've said before that I'm proud we've never been associated with grubbery, but what if we change the wording to "Shrewd"?... Both on and off the field... Well, shit!... we're DAMN smart operators!...
Hell, if the Storm and Roosters can do it, why cant we?
I'm sick of being crapped on.
Ruthlessness is the way to go.
Glamour Club?... Pretentious bullcrap!
Fake it 'til you make it?... Well thats worked well for 10 seasons...
We are who we are and there's no side-stepping it... we were built on a tough, uncomprimising, under-dog mentality.
Many of us remember this from both sides before the merger... pity the power-brokers don't.

So you see salary cap cheating and injecting players with unknown substances, which turn out to be banned substances, as the same level of actions?

Don't forget the Storms Centre of Ju-Jitsu Excellence and all they've given to this great game.
In a black and white world, wrong is wrong, regardless of the difference of degree.
Either you're breaking the rules, or following the rules... or simply pushing the boundaries and dancing in the grey areas, which isn't a new concept by any stretch of the imagination.

One situation this season resulted in a player being forced to play after being hospitalised on a drip for 6 days in the days prior.

The player felt if he didn’t play, his spot in the side was at risk.

There’s plenty more.

would rather Green than flanno

Rather gangrene than flanno.

rather Madge over both

Yep

I'm struggling to understand why people are so off a successful coach like Flanno.
Let's presume he was guilty.
Who hasn't done something in their past that they're ashamed of?
It doesn't define you. You are who you are now. You can choose to do only good things now.
Everyone deserves that chance, even Flanno.
(I'm not talking about recidivists)

No I haven't put the lives of young people I had in my care at risk, have you?

If you forgive others for their past indiscretions you are more likely to forgive yourself for your own and live a happier life.
That applies to you, me and everyone reading it.
Living happier is a choice that starts now.

[Jedi_Tiger]

I find myself disagreeing with majority's opinions more and more on this Forum.

Such as?

You like Green?
Just trying to understand, lol.

Noffa, Mbye, people's snipes at the Board.. there's a lot. Usually I can block it out, but seems like I don't agree with the majority's opinions these days.

I must be mistaken Mmbye and Noffo are good players and the wests tigers board are doing a fantastic job over the last 10 years.
Black White & Gold will never fold

Fair enough if you do - and I'm not going to ask dueto your perhpnot wanting to disclose. I freely admit I have no connections and no insider knowledge.

It would be a boring world if everyone agreed with each other.Also not being in step with the majority view does not mean you are wrong.
Hang in there your views are as valuable as everybody elses,after all the smartest lemming is the one who dosen't follow the rest over a cliff

The way people are giving opinions on this forum and the way it's moderated seems a lot like listening to the people on FB and LU these days.

He was. He was *exceptionally* fast and strong, almost *unbelievably* fast and strong, perhaps *incredibly* fast and strong, some would say *unnaturally* fast and strong.
