Flanno is the captain of our ship, who's going to steer the ship know.

A dog act by the club, after what he's done to get us where we were just before the announcement.

SAVE FLANNO NOW

DO we know if this was Flannos decision or the clubs?
Also do we know WHY Flanno was stood down, fact is, we know no facts, except he is being stood down. Reason will be revealed in due time Im sure. Cant really roast the club too much until we find reasons

FOX Sports saying that the NRL have made this decision and have forced the boards hand.
NRL are going to appoint an new CEO, CFO and Media person.

flanno wont come back, off his own back. If he gets sacked he gets sacked, if he doesnt, he'll go. I would

If most, or at least some, of our key group of players from 2011 - Gallen, Wade, Morris, Tupou, Bukuya, Gardner, Stapleton, Townsend, Leutele, Mills - come through the ASADA investigation unscathed, then this could end up being a blessing in disguise, presuming Flanagan is actually sacked; at the moment he's just been 'stood down'.

Flanagan has done a reasonable job as coach since taking over in tough circumstances, but we were never going to win a comp under him, no matter how good the roster. He deserves a lot of credit for bringing guys like Carney, Robson, Gibbs, De Gois (back), Lewis, Gordon and Heighington to the club, but he is not a top level NRL coach and never will be.

Our ruck/line speed under Flanagan has not been up to the standard of other top NRL clubs and neither has our cohesion in attack, or our discipline in defence/with the ball.

If he indeed does move on from the Sharks, then I wish him all the best. But I must say as a Sharks fan, I prefer Peter Sharp as coach.

Not good. Can you imagine if Melbourne arsed Bellamy after the cap scandal? Basically just chopped the head off the football side. Who leads these blokes now?

Though he may be passed it in regards to being head coach for a full season, Peter Sharpe is more than capable to take over momentarily.
