Pretty sure they extended flano when they jagged a win last year between loss streaks.

From ‘memory’
Didn’t Gus go to St George as a consultant to set up the club admin/football, after he did the same at the Warriors. Now they are talking about blowing it all up, not just possibly the coach

The euphoria of a single NRL win will make some people crazy.
I give you Fruit Pascals as my example, he was happy just to sell a hat.

Where did this Knights side come from?

Us and the Dogs stole their forward pack.
Yet no Ponga, No Dylan Brown and they are kicking it 4 wins to 1 loss.

Holbrook on the way to becoming coach of the year.

He was always a good coach. Imagine working underal.Meninga and that committee.

I thought Saints would improve under Flanno. Maybe the game passed him by while he was on the outer?

I had some thoughts on him...

1. He plays games. It seemed that he was whiteanting the dogs coaches to try and get the head coach job there. This may have been after Cronulla and some percieved unfairness, but it really seemed poor in character.

2. Ricky Stuart was coaching a spooner side. But Ricky is a coach who knows a few things. He would have had the side drilling defensively and while he was loosing games (in part due to a stack of players departing + Ben Ross neck injury), Ricky was building the side. Flanno at the dragons is left with a non-Ricky built side and it shows.

3. ignoring the drugs scandal, Cronulla did have some really prime players. Gallen, Luke Lewis, Ben Barba, Maloney... Who does St George have? Sloan?

Credit where credit is due. Flanno took the Sharks to the finals. I still recall Ben Barba lining up in the scrum, Melbourne had packed the scrum with forwards as usual and Gallen hands the ball to Barba close to the try line. IMHO brillant coaching.

At the Saints, Flanno has been going for quick fixes and big $$$ contracts to get names there. This has failed him.

The only reason strap is wearing the 6 jersey is because the 7 is too bog on him. C’mon tigers.

jury is out on many teams. I don’t think any team but Penrith deserve confidence. Overconfidence in our team right now is silly. Would love a win tomorrow but won’t be surprised if we get a reality check.

Holbrook is a good coach and was building at the Titans

They have some good young forwards coming on and have I love the two Fletcher's alot of spark and the guy who came on for Best today has some raps on him but they have a good mix of old heads and younger players

In fairness to Flanno,
the first 3 games of the Dragqueens IMHO were OK... They lost by 1 point vs the bulldogs, got wiped out by melbourne and 2 tries to the Eels. They really don't have the cattle to do better.

Vs the Titans however we really see that the Dragons are in trouble. Now without Kyle F, they just don't have the halfback depth. Flanno must be on very shakey ground and will probably be sacked soon.

Guessing though the Dragons will start lining up someone. If I were the dragons board I would be calling Brad Arthur and say "name your price".

Maybe Seibold, now wouldn’t that be ironic !!!
