Just seen the latest training pics

What’s the point playing Averillo when he will re aggravate his injury after 5 mins

Oloapu was running opposed with the reserves

I rate Ciro as a coach but constantly picking Flanno who doesn’t deserve it is fkd up

Yeah Averillo makes no sense. Give him a few weeks off to recover. Noticed Sutton in the grey jerseys also, thought he was named on the bench?

Exactly …we are long odds to win this weekend so may as well give Jake more time to get right

Skelton is fresh and ready just play him

Karl Oloapu must be cover for Grub (injury cloud)

Would you rather him sit on the sideline during training because he's on the bench?(Sutton) Lol!!

Nah I just observed during training the top 17 generally wear the blue training jersey from last year. Reserves wear the grey jerseys. So I found it interesting he was wearing that if he’s names in the top 17. Maybe dropping off late for someone?

No value in playing KO as 18th man need to get games into him.

Jeral will be 18th man. Braidon Burns and averillo are both in.

Anyone seen marley

Crazy. Questionable for a backline without any X factor, not sure what CC is waiting for.

Yes I’m not sure about this decision. Both averillo and burns coming in with obvious issues. Burns wasn’t 100% tonight at training but they are still going that way. Hope it pays off and doesn’t bite us during the game.

 

[blue & white blood]

CC has confirmed that Flannagan will play 6 alongside burton.

It doesn't matter if Flannagan and Burton both play six we can handle it because we have been playing without a 7 for 3yrs now anyway

Defintely a weird one... I also wouldn't be surprised if its a smokescreen but I dont think CC likes those games.

Like you said though risking another backline meltdown, why would you do it?

Been a while since i watched the boys run around... Still upbeat?

It would be a pretty elaborate smokescreen considering what I’ve heard. ‍♂
I think it could only change now if one of them gets worse between now and warm up, but unlikely.

I haven’t been to training for a little bit, but was business as usual the last time all positive.

 

[hackenbush]

Logic would have KO for Reynolds. CC is only giving Reynolds a maximum of 20 minutes, that's all he can last. He can get some limited minutes exposure similar to Reynolds.

Avo has prepatellar bursitis. Very painful, he has proven he can’t play through the pain so shouldn’t be picked. He’s gonna be hobbling all game and will be a massive liability.

I don't tink that we have been playing without a half for 3 years, because the team has actually been playing with a millstone around its neck foe 3 years now.

Is Burton roaming across the field more?

Is Burton roaming across the field more?

Not sure. Wasn’t there, was told how it went

I was making a comment on a forum, fam....not writing an academic paper - hence no citations required.... but if you'll read through the comments, you'll see I did end up providing try assist stats to support my comment (I didn't have time to go find them all, and considering Flano not laying on try assists seems to be this forum's major gripe. I thought those stats were the best to support my argument.

In case you are too lazy to read through the posts, Flano - 6 try assists from 4 games in 2022; KO 4 assists from 7 games so far in 2023.

I admire your relentless and tireless quest to support and fight for Kyle Flanagan’s cause for months and years on end against an avalanche of criticism, some might even say hate. My fear for you “fam” is when KF’s contract ends this year and moves on to another club or SL what will become of you? You will lose your identity, you will become a nobody, maybe you will follow Flanagan and join another forum but one thing is for sure. When KF is no longer at this club this forum will lose one of its most prolific posters and TK will be a different place without you.
