Oloapu in NSW Cup v Newtown

[The DoggFather]

He was a beast in defence.

Almost like he was asked to show what he has...

 

[RookieDog]

Been killing it with

1. Papa
6. Rajab
7. KO

All year but let's mix everything the fuck up....

Definitely always a good idea to change, mix up and thereby f*ck up a good winning combination

 

[Nate DAWG]

Was waiting for a shit thread like this.....

You can tell who actually watched him for the first time today.

100% bro..it also needs to be recognised that the cup team is impacted worse by our injuries than first grade..we have cup players playing firsts and Massey players playing cup.

 

[Robbothedestroyer]

All part of the learning experience.
Playing behind a belted pack didn’t help was surrounded by a lot of spuds today.
He will bounce back plenty of good times ahead.

 

[D.O.W.]

As always, fans sh!tting the bed after judging a bloke on one game… in a way, maybe CC is protecting him from fans who loose their sh!t if “the new guy” doesn’t make 12 line breaks, 10 try assists and 15 tries on any given game.

oh, and BTW..he’s only 18, hits like a Mack truck, is elusive, strong, try’s things, and has a decent kicking game

Do you expect better from the kennel?

Flanno crap is not ready for first grade

This is what I find funny. Everyone sits there and watches this **** and thinks yep we can’t put in anyone else over him. FMD just looking for excuses fuck Flanno he’s fucking shit. I’d rather Hayward in FG over him and I think he’s our 3rd best half in reserves

 

[diddly]

He maybe playing to instructions but in the games iv seen he defends well and has the evasive step but before he plays fg needs to get the ball and run straight. Atm he gets the ball flat n shuffles the ball. I'd prefer he played flegg and run then fg and jog.

 

[craigo]

I am more ready for first grade than him and I’m a 42 year old beach bum

We got the 2016 17 problem in cup. Too many halves

 

[flamebouyant]

Thoughts on his game today and this season. I don't see anything saviour like and the current answer to any of our half problems. Drifts in and out of games way to much in my opinion. Much improvement left in him no doubt but not ready for NRL.

Wasnt impressed by him today, and honestly havnt really seen the "superstar" qualities he is supposed to possess much at all in any games this season, and i have watched all televised games. Not bagging him, but i cant see him playing fg any time soon. He needs a year in cup. The only thing that may force the issue is the fact that Flange is so fucking useless!!!

 

[Bulldog1966]

Fucking hell, don’t worry about all the good games he has had, and the fact that he is a big reason they are on top of the ladder. Pick a game where everyone played shit and use that as your proof.

But but but..that's what quasi coaches in here do lol lots of deathriders as I'm sure you know.

I dont think anyone is really bagging him, he clearly has talent, but i cant see him coming in to first grade and killing it any time soon if he cant do it in cup. He has had some good moments, but imo he has not been the best on ground in any game i have seen of him this year.

 

[Doggies2035]

Don’t think he’s the one I think RAJAB is the replacement for Kyle flannagan

 

[(((((SMACK)))))]

Look, the kid is a special talent. The game today showed that he has parts of his game that he needs to work on.
The issue I had with his effort was that in the first half, it was all about him and not the team. Early days and I am sure he will sit down and review his performance.

 

[piggy]

Every game of cup I've seen he's been exactly the same. Doesn't look fit to me.

yep he is overweight

 

[hayes]

I've watched plenty. He should be dominating and have the ball in his hands every play if he's an NRL ready half. I see someone who drifts in and out of 2nd grade games. Sorry.

Well half the team is in first grade

 

[oldpuppy]

KO is not ready for first grade just yet but Flanagan is so ready for reserve grade.

 

[Dognacious]

Didn’t have his best game. He is definitely not ready for first grade. I didn’t see what the hype is about him.

The hype was based on juniors form. He's up in grade this year, so will be harder for him at first.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

I would like to see Hayward get a run at 7 first before Oloapu is exposed to our shit first grade team
