Wasn't he coming here once?If we are talking hypotheticals, lets aim for Bellamy
Yeah I think we wanted him in a Coaching Director role... not sure if he was ever close to coming though.Wasn't he coming here once?
Fitz is our man. Still got the hope and vibe he’ll be a 10 year coach for us
I do not think I care about more success at this stage - as in I would have been happy with the result from last year and this year.The obvious answer is yes, you would definitely swap them.
But it’s not a level playing field. You’re talking about a rookie coach with two year’s experience up against a Premiership winner with 8 years of coaching experience up until 2018.
To me, the swap question would be much harder to answer if you only went on Flanno’s first two years. He had crap players, probably worse than what we have now but he then used the next 5 years to gather his team together and put together a premiership winning side.
Fitz hasn’t had that opportunity as yet. Answer this honestly, did anyone think Flanno was a good coach in his first two years? Plenty on here didn’t think so. (Hi Teflon!)
I will admit I thought Fitz would have more success at this stage and I am disappointed in how we’ve fared over the last two seasons. But I’m still happy to give him time, can’t say for certain that he won’t win a premiership just yet.
I reckon there was a fair bit of wasted time, but there were some learnings that came out of that. Injuries didn't help either.I do not think I care about more success at this stage - as in I would have been happy with the result from last year and this year.
However, I was expecting to see an obvious improvement. grit, hunger, whatever you call it - something this year. Unfortunately it did not happen. The same brain farts, same stupid handling mistakes all continued if not became more. We still do not seem to have a plan B.
Maybe it is growing pains but it feels like this year was a waste of time and we did not move an inch forward.
and when our play makers learn how to manage the game to win .I reckon there was a fair bit of wasted time, but there were some learnings that came out of that. Injuries didn't help either.
When our players can old the ****ing ball and keep their heads up under pressure we'll be world beaters...
He's not going to do that. I love Flanno but that 2016 team was lightning in a bottle, and yes he put them together and coached us to a gf win, but the idea that that makes him a great coach doesn't fly with me. I liken him to Phar Laps trainer. Never trained another good horse.I’d swap Fitz for Flanno in a heartbeat. Dragons are lucky to have him. And it kills me knowing he’s going to turn that **** fight club around and get them being top 8 for years to come.
Guess time will tell after his stint at the dragons begins. If he coaches them a premiership then imo he will be in the elite coaches conversation.He's not going to do that.

Oh it does not. Just make your point and stop being a drama queen.You are off your head
This post deserves a ban
Literally built a club not a team a whole club from the ground up to heavyweights that had superstars wanting to play for him and here you come with that dribble. Filth

He’s admitted to not having much of a plan recruitment wise after the GF - when we got Dugan , SJ, Moylan etc. He had a lot of help with Mooney and we were lucky Ennis and Maloney became available.His tenure at saints will certainly prove one of you right.
Flanno took us from nowhere to a premiership - that is fact - with some excellent recruitment .
A few poor decisions after that - but you can’t get them all correct ..
The premiership overrides everything - in my opinion ..LOL, “a few poor decisions”. I mean I love Flanno as much as anyone, but what happened was a bit more serious than “a few poor decisions”.
Regardless, he’s served his well earned time for it and im happy for him that he’s back in the coaching ranks, its a pity its for the ******** in St George, but a jobs a job.
