Just to have a bit of a light hearted distraction, could you imagine if the coaching staff (based on current available coaches and forgetting politics, back stabbings etc) were:

Flanno (coaching director)
Fitzy (HC)
Morris (AC - junior development)

Not a bad combo in another world / life.

In another world, Flanno would not have tried to circumnavigate his ban with sneaky emails.

You know what? I’ll build on that say. In another world, what if we didn’t have an illegal peptide program? I wonder if Flanno would still be coach. What would our roster look like? How many of John Morris’s youngsters would of got their opportunity?

Get Netflix onto that alternative history story, it'd be a beauty

The club that lands Flanno as head coach will be very lucky - don’t care about the indiscretions between him and the club his coaching ability and what he can get out of his players is top notch

We don't know that, as every achievement Flanno had was off the back of peptides, salary cap cheating and trying to circumnavigate his ban.

every achievement ? the peps didn't seem to do our players much good at the time, we were a pretty average team during that period

he was still a good coach and motivator - no doubt about that

may as well say Bellamy hasn't achieved anything cause it all came from initial success thanks to cap rorting

Comparing apples to oranges there.

Nobody outside of sharks fans, when they hear Shane Flanagan, think the premiership. Everyone else thinks the drug ban/salary cap.

When fans outside of the storm think of Bellamy, they think the most successful coach in the modern game. Bellamy has missed the finals 1 season out of his head coach career, which is 18 seasons.

How many head coaches, aside from Flanno, have been banned in the modern NRL?

Well for one notorious salary cap cheat Bellamy surely has.... oh wait...

Most non-Sharks fans still think the fact we weren't over the cap in 2016 is some heinous dodgy conspiracy

Most NRL fans (Sharks included) are ****ing idiots who want every other club's successes wiped & the club kicked out cause "everyone knows they cheated".

maybe Bellamy should have been banned for being part of the biggest cap rort in history

Flanno only missed the finals in 2010 (half season) and 2011 when he had reserve grade squads

were we cheating in 2018? we still made top 4 and got to the prelim

no one feels sorry for us when a cheating storm smashed us in the 2008 prelim

flanno was bad with emails and trusting the wrong people not with managing a squad to a high standard

**** what other fans think - everytime the roosters win a premiership everyone says salary cap cheats and there isn't even evidence of that
