I would have gone the extra forward instead of Flanno. IMO, we will reap the rewards of what KO learns this year in 24.
What do you think he’s learning? He’s having very little involvement in attack and when he does get the ball he’s just dishing it off without trying to engage the line. He’d learn more in NSW Cup.

Who would you recruit? Flano isn’t gone yet. He’s playing hooker this weekend.
Hawkins souths, Schneider raiders, Trindall sharks ??? Just need to provide a serviceable passing and kicking game to complement Burton.

This post articulates how little you know. You like to champion maligned players and use hyperbole to hide idiotic statements. End of the day Ciro has done well in a difficult year. We have been competitive in most games with an imperfect squad. Flanno is not a halfbacks asshole snd deserved to be dropped. We are not better with him. Anyone arguing against these two points knows little about the game but you are clever at crafting your thousand posts in a thread to argue your points.
Oh here we go, he resorts to the pretentious you know nothing about the game comments lol.

Ciraldope has had a better roster to work with than Pay, Barrett or Potter, even factoring in some of the injuries. Your sole argument for Flano being dropped being a good move is based on your own cognitive blindspot which makes you unable to accept the reality that KO has been less involved and playing worse. Guilty of all the things you accused Flano of, with interest. Even with injuries, Ciraldo had all off season to drill basic defensive fundamentals into our team and we are still conceding 25 points a game or thereabouts. He constantly plays people out of position, either in his starting structures, or to compensate for injuries and that only compounds these issues. We have no real attacking shape or structure, recruits in areas we are already well stocked rather than filling the biggest holes in our roster. He can’t decide on his best bench utility, couldn’t decide on who his best top 30 was, because now a bloke has been brought up from outside the top 30 while Reynolds remains benched, has gone for duds like Casey ego have cost us games over blokes who have truly looked the part when they did get the opportunity like Wilson.

Don’t be fooled by a few extra wins (all against bottom of the barrel of injury ravaged teams). He doesn’t have the faintest idea what he is doing. When a coach doesn’t have any idea of what his best 17 or top 30 is after a full preseason, it should ring major alarm bells.

Ciraldope has no vision and has failed in the area he supposedly hangs his hat on (defence).

One thing about Burton is I would dread to see him in any other team because you know he would be that superstar in a complete side. Clear as daylight, particularly at this stage of career 5/8 is his best position in regards to playing him to his strengths. When you think of Burton you think heads up player, great runner of the ball, strong body with a progressively improving kicking game is how I would word it. Give him a few years at 5/8 with a geniune halfback besides him who knows what his ceiling is his a freak player that lacks the decision making. Its just baffling to me as it’s shaping up Gus and Ciraldo clearly are convinced KO and him are our halves yet it’s clear as daylight both need a halfback besides them to really elevate there game.

Statistically Burton excels most of our plays come of the back of him his a freak player but at this stage of his career his not a halfback and evidently can’t lead a team. Hunt against Penrith is what a halfback is you won’t see Burton doing not 1 of those plays, suppose I’m stating the obvious but persisting with him at halfback isn't using him to his strengths and overall denying the side of real game control. We go into next season persisting with him at halfback thinking we will even get a sniff of anything above 8th then we’re dreaming.

Bringing Flano back for the remainder of the season would be best. Karl has done nothing, fam. Catch, pass. That’s it.

We should 100 percent sack Ciraldope and sign Billy Slater before someone else does.

Of course not. I’m not a fan of his, but not happy when any player is concussed. Looking forward to seeing that the ‘gun can do, though!

would help if we had forwards who can make meters and set us up in good field position we literally only got out from our danger end from penalties and roosters making errors on 1st tackle coming out of defence. Tpj was our best forward today by a long way everyone else was pretty poor
I thought they aimed up against the rorters. TPJ ran for nearly 200m Max was pretty good Preston had a go. There were a few average reads around the middle which ultimately cost us. That and the fact JAC didn't play to the whiste and let them waltz straight through where he was supposed to be defending. Some bullshit calls from the ref...... standard! We were the better team and should have won that.

How about his grubber for the Addo carr try? Or the field goal to beat the cowboys? Were you backing him then?
Burton is steering the team around. A role he's not accustomed to. We'd be better with Oluapo at 7, Burton at 6. Next year, no better without a mature 7. Oluapo and Manu not spotted in that game. So Manu was no better. Oluapo never once linked with Burton...they were never on the same side of the field. Don't we have coaches devising where the halves should stand to create space.
Oluapo and Averillo never got good ball. The repetition of errors, same every week in attack is mind numbing.
Apart from the Hail Mary plays we don't look any better than when Flanagan was 7.

Give up the trolling!

Flanagun isn't a 7

He looks better as a 9 and I wish him the best!

We are better than last year!

Are you ok? Happy to talk if you need help

Who says I’m trolling? Oloapu has been missing in action?

Are we better than we were under Barrett? Yeah. Are we better than we were under Potter? Hell.Fucken.No.
