Ennis retiring was huge. Personally I think we needed to rebuild after 2017, not make the ridiculous signings Flanno made.
How are the signings ridiculous if the coach that signed them never got to coach them ?

Duges on huge money was a silly signing given his injury history. I don't care who coached him, do you think he misses any less games, or leaves the field less often, if Flanno was coaching him?
What was the alternative… ?

He was an elite player that played wing fullback and centre for us

And 100% a players performance/role can vary with their coach..

Would his injury history have changed?

No issue with signing him, not on the coin though.

Don’t know bro, can’t say.

I would give Flanno the credit though for making the best out of players with his form of doing exactly that

Moylan, Dugan - coached both for one year and we Came 5th*

and SJ - never coached


I stand by my statement

Pretty funny you keep having to correct yourself then

BTW you were right the first time, we finished 4th in 2018

He signed SJ which moved Moylan which broke Moylan, make sure you credit him that when being high on how we finished with Moylan as 5/8

Dugan was a panic move after jack bird left. It was a dud on that money.
Plus Moylan was a panic move for Maloney (although the best of the three moves, while at 5/8)
And SJ was the Val Holmes panic moved

These signings I don’t see as the same as Ennis, Lewis et al

Possibly loss of Mooney a bigger factor than how good or bad Flanno was.

exactly like you corrected yourself with your little edit about SJ ? 🤣🤣

It’s a little desperate that you’re trying to tie me up on something so trivial though.. it’s cute

Go back and have another look mate, was never edited.
You just didn't read it correctly haha
Those ridiculous signings landed us a top 4 spot and deeper into the finals then we’ve ever been since

Can I make another edit Sev ?

We actually came first on points tied with 3 other teams in 18

Or will you try another little cute gotcha moment ?
