What a surprise u don’t agree with me [emoji2]Try assist, repeat sets, another try assist if Flanagan grounds the ball. Struggled to get involved in the first 40 but his involvement was up in the next 20...hardly nothing.
If u read my earlier post,I missed about 25 mins of game,had to pick a mate up from station,so basing it on what I saw,so if he improved well and good,I would love to see him perform,You clearly didnt watch the game then.

By who a tree stump like u.if you post a stupid and uneducated comment then prepare to he hammered
Agreed!You have to put it into context as that was Flanagan’s first game with a new team as a game managing half back. He’s not going to come in and turn the game on it’s head straight away and it’s unfair to think he will. Judge him half way through the year not on 60 mins of a trial game.
That "tree stump" still knows more than you lolBy who a tree stump like u.
Cosy?That "tree stump" still knows more than you lol
I think that TB will pick up on the attention he received and make adjustmentsThe problem is every other team would have seen the pressure and will copy it now. It’s not that hard to make some adjustments to take the heat off though.
I’d love to the Sharks get the spoon. They are slipping back down to where that bottom feeding club belongs.
We really need a 9 that can kick from dummy half.. I noticed that Deitz played a bit of halfback in u20's.. surely that means he can kick..I think that TB will pick up on the attention he received and make adjustments
Flanno won’t last long being targeted in that manner every single week,there needs to be a second or even third option on the last.
They might stand in a position on the field to cause let’s say a distraction or decoy.
Our biggest struggle in recent years has been scoring points so I’m hopeful that we have come up with several ways to attack the line and genuinely create chances.
Not just rely on booting it on the last straight down their throat.
Our lack of an attacking hooker really bites us here. If we had a kicking or running option there it would give Flanagan that second or two extra without pressure.I think that TB will pick up on the attention he received and make adjustments

You stole my thunder with the kicking hooker haha. Even a running threat from dummy half causes the defence to get in two minds.We really need a 9 that can kick from dummy half.. I noticed that Deitz played a bit of halfback in u20's.. surely that means he can kick..
But then again JMK played plenty of games in the halves yet never kicks out of dummy half..
Yeah it's really easy for the shooter to chase down the kicker when it's a guarantee who the kicker will be..Our lack of an attacking hooker really bites us here. If we had a kicking or running option there it would give Flanagan that second or two extra without pressure.
It’s actually a good thing that it’s happened in a trial game so the coaching staff and Flanagan have that time to make the adjustments.
It really hurts us having only one recognized kicker..You stole my thunder with the kicking hooker haha. Even a running threat from dummy half causes the defence to get in two minds.
Averillo, Allan or JMK are just going to have to take some pressure off and start kicking. They might only have to kick a couple early to make the opposition think twice because at the minute they can just get numbers on Flanagans side and tee off.It really hurts us having only one recognized kicker..
Totally agree a dummy half that can kick and turn teams around is invaluableWe really need a 9 that can kick from dummy half.. I noticed that Deitz played a bit of halfback in u20's.. surely that means he can kick..

Well I hope when problems like this arise that Barrett will address them quickly, rather than just blaming the roster and trying to keep it simple like Pay did..Totally agree a dummy half that can kick and turn teams around is invaluable
To be honest I just don’t know if that comes naturally or taught throughout their junior years
You would think someone aspiring to excel at being a top level hooker needs this skill or confidence in giving it a shot.
