Why? Jake plays better than the reject Flanagan.Play a 5/8 beside him that will get involved in the game who is not scared of being or making tackles...
It's pretty scary. Thankfully Burton is class and Rajab looks the goods even though he's a few years away.. But the depth needs to improve and Flanagan has to be moved on. I can't see him lasting another two years after this.. It's a shame Wakeham turned to shit as he was a solid junior.Imagine having 4 halves at the club and not a single one knows how to draw a defender in to give his outside man room.
Are you Jekyll or Hyde today..?Flanagan is fucking shit, you'd know if you weren't on Baz's dick.
At least Name the 5/8 you woukd put there.Play a 5/8 beside him that will get involved in the game who is not scared of being or making tackles...
Yes sir... Lewis.At least Name the 5/8 you woukd put there.
The knights used to play like that back in the A Johns days. Up the middle for 3 tackles then side to side tackles 4 & 5, with an attacking kick on the 6th. All high tempo and most times with precision.
Do you think Flanagan is the reason we play side ways. Nothing to do with the middles not bending the line and providing quick play the balls. Also having a hooker that straightens the attack and brings the forwards on the ball. Slow service from the ruck is what is killing us. Dumb decisions arrive from panick and lack of time with space. It's a year of education for flanno and averillo. The best we can hope for is to avoid the spoon unfortunately.This is all on Baz and his obsession with Flanagan and trying to turn him into Cleary 2.0. Flanagan can't play on the ball, his decision making is awful and it's absolutely killing us. The best we have looked all season in when we play direct and Jake gets on the ball early and runs at defenders. Instead we revert back to this garbage with Flanagan playing slow, sideways and we create fuck all.
Not be worse than Flanagan and Lewis? I was hopeful for Wakeham but he's been horrible in Reserves and regressed since being a decent junior. The fact that he's so far behind average halves in Flanagan and Lewis says a lot about how bad Wakeham is.As shit as flanagan has been, lewis should never wear the seven Jersey at bulldogs ever again.
Wtf does wakeham have to do to get a go?
I think when he came into the first grade he felt like a star and you cannot question his commitment the side. I wonder how he would turn out with decent coaching and players.I have always had a soft spot for Lewis. I know there are others. I don't know what it is ? My feeling is it might be his defensive efforts. I think he does need to come in at the moment. He won't be at the dogs next year. But I hope he is picked up by someone and given a chance to show if he does have something to bring in the NRL. We have not been good for young players coming through the system. Might be the players but I think our below par side in general that has contributed.
Wakeham just probably has to not play like shit.As shit as flanagan has been, lewis should never wear the seven Jersey at bulldogs ever again.

Ideally Flanagan finds a new home next season if his dad gets hired somewhere and we can find a proper halves partner for Burton. Whether it's Averllo or someone else.. Luckily Burton is such a dominant half that we just need someone not to fuck up too badly as his halves partner...
