Anyone defending Flanagan is taking the absolute piss. He handled the ball nearly 70 times yesterday and done absolutely nothing with it. There is no excuse, we had field position, we had possession, we had quicker play the balls, etc. He got the ball in good positions with time and space and all he did was drift sideways, fail to engage the defence and slow down our attack.
Baz is responsible for this, he wanted Flanagan and made him the focal point of our attack. It's bad enough that we don't have a hooker, but to then further cripple us by playing Flanagan in a role he is clearly not competent playing in is just idiotic.
