I like what Avo did with Burton to send Duffty in for that no try. They need more of that instead of forwards taking settlers.

Averillo is a quality utility at best not a half we have to let flanno have a few weeks to see if he is it plus we paid a pretty penny for him swapping every 2 weeks ain’t gonna help us in the long run just creates inconsistent in combos like one game there great the next we want a change just gotta stick to one and let it be but averillo needs a permanent home but not as a half

To the Kyle Flanagan voters: What are you seeing from him that makes you think he'd contribute positively to this team? Or is it purely because you think he fits with Burton?

Flanagan has shown even less than Avo in attack and structure and on a par, or possibly slightly less, in defence.

Wakeham or BBO.

How people could vote for Flanno is beyond me and it's got to be a Kennel gee up lol

I want to put the whole Kyle Flanagan thing in context, just in case people are missing things.

Barrett signed up to coach us after a disastrous stint at Manly and regaining some kind of credibility as being an assistant coach at Penrith (and being accredited with coming up with a style of attacking play for Penrith)

Barrett's coaching stint with us, is pretty much known as "make or break" for Barretts head coaching future.

In one of his first year and major recruitment pursuits, he signed up Kyle Flanagan on a 3 year contract and publicly stated that Kyle was going to be the focal point of our attack.

Barrett gave Kyle the start of the season (last season) and persisted with Kyle when it was clear it wasn't working.

Kyle was then finally dropped to reserve grade and told to work on his game.

Kyle was given another go in first grade but then very quickly dropped again to reserve grade. This immediate dropping of him would suggest that Kyle's game did not develop at all.

Barrett will live and die by his KPIs and bluntly the Kyle Flanagan signing is a Barrett signing. Barrett needs to have positives to be maintained as coach, he would be desperate to have one of his major signings BE A SUCCESS.

Instead Barrett has opted for Averillo in the halves to partner Burton. Kyle is no where to be seen, even though this is a major minus mark against Barrett.

So given all the reasons that are there for why Barrett should pick Kyle but yet chooses not to pick him, doesn't that tell you that Kyle is fucking shit?
