You do realise he was playing awesome origin and for Australia , before he came unstuck last year ?
Nothing to offer our team ?
I'd have a fit Lewis over a poor possibly overated Wade Graham at present .

But crap for us. I don't care what he does elsewhere but for us he has been a dud buy

yep and if i were flanno, id be seriously thinking about giving Lewis a run in reserves for a few weeks when he is fit. I just think NO PLAYER should be guaranteed a spot no matter what. Should be earned.

We need a clean out. We need phil Gould to come in and do what he did to penrith three years ago. He got rid of their expensive veterans who had too much power and they are now flying with a hugely talented squad and some of the best youngsters in the game.

Gallen and Gordon should not re-signed. Gallen is a Flanno clone who I don't think has much of an idea about attacking football as well.

May as not bother buying anyone to be frankly honest. While Flanno is coach we will have 0 attacking structure - will be a tough team who competes but doesn't win. Need to spend big and convince a winning coach to come to the sharks - ****ing tough sell.

I don't think it'd be a tough sell, some really good players to work with and some decent money to spend with some veterans coming off contract.

That tough team thing is a myth this year.broncos have bad attack and that's why it was a so called tough game. Both our defence would of been made to look bad against a top 8 team

These results were always eventually going to happen. Gordon, robson, gallen, tupou, heighno, lewis are all in their 30s and all past it.

We still don't have the budget to spend on the football operations that the big clubs do so while we need a McQuire or a Bellamy they may not want to come to a place that can't spend the million odd they are used to.

Was talking about tge clean house last night.

I'd be looking at Brian Smith as a CD to cut the deadwood
Agree. He has never left a side in worse shape then when he took over iirc. Look at the Knights then the Roosters - both sides dumped him as coach but their squads were quality.

Who knows maybe his bad luck and our bad luck meet in the middle and turn into good luck.
