Watching Karl this first month and nothing about him screams halfback, looks like a 6.
Flange continuously takes control after a line break or half break on the right side and stifles the attack. If we can get KO defence up to speed imagine what he will do with that.
Only a matter of time baby @Flanagun

Woeful performance, They had no respect for the Warriors and refused to adapt to a more committed and capable opposition.
Bit of arrogance and lost that focus they showed previously. Their line speed was atrocious and Warriors made plenty of ground.

Another wake up call.

Remember Tyrone Harding? Didn’t play a single grade for an entire year in 2020. Need to stop giving them away like its some lollies
You can add Top30 players Kayne Kalache & Isaiah Tass they never played NRL for the Dogs either.

Worst they have played all year. Casey looks disintersted in winning or playing tough football, Rajab to start over Reynolds any day, Montgomary is too indisciplined to carry, Edwards just needs to run and not pass or take a hit up on last tackle. Too many passes go to ground as team looks way out of sync. Buy from Tigers is reasonable close to the line but otherwise looks slow and unthreatening. Where is Skelton and Morrin if not in NRL 17 or as 18th man? Very dissapointed considering NRL 17 is not elite so opportunities exist for promotion.

I really hope Gus is still looking for a top half to replace Flanagan because Oloapu is in no way an organising 7.

We really don’t need him to play a traditional halfback roll yet, Mahoney can get them around the park he just needs to wear the 7 and give us another point of attack and learn from Mahoney. He will sure as fuck have more upside than flange.

We still need some level of control from the halves and right now Burton/Karl aren't going to provide that.

What is he then lol definitely a half
Big difference between halfback and 5/8. At this stage he’s not a game manager which is what’s required from a halfback. No argument though he’s a great prospect .

We really missed Skelton. He is worth 10+ points a game, in attack and defence

So Burton/Karl will provide less control than Burton/Flange? Don’t argue for the sake of arguing marly and like I said KO will learn more about game management playing beside Mahoney this year than he will in another two years in Reserve grade.

A few players cost us that game today, and should realistically never play NSW Cup again.

Flanagan is very active behind the play, he might be doing very little with the ball but the team is a at least some what organised. Karl needs to spend way more time in reserves until he or Burton improves that aspect of their play.
