What are Shane Flanagan's thoughts on his departure from the Dragons?
Triple M footy lives on, listener.
Thanks to McDonald's and Ream Hot Water. Triple M NRL Daily for Liquorland. Legendary. Choose to drink wise.
Here we go!
The NRL is on Triple M. How about that? And we've got all the goss. Behind the scenes news on and off the field. From press conferences to inside the locker rooms.
How has Andrew Abdo impacted the NRL before his resignation?
I love being a part of it. I'm learning to feel real at the moment. It's a tough game to play. Massive responsibility. A really good chance. On Triple M, this is NRL Daily.
Welcome to Triple M NRL Daily on your Monday. It's Charlie White here, and as always, I've got the one and only Wade Graham alongside me. How are you, brother?
I'm great, Charlie.
What does Roger Tuivasa-Sheck's injury mean for his career?
Thanks for having me. It's good to be here. I notice we're missing a part of the Graham family trust.
We have. We've upgraded, mate. We've got your great mate, the coach of your 2016 Premiership winning Cronulla Sharks, Shane Flanagan. How are you, brother?
Good, thanks, Charlie. Wado?
Better than Jimmy anyway.
How are the Cowboys performing this season?
Oh, mate, huge upgrade. And we were just talking off air before coming on, the changing of the modern game and how your last year, all the meetings that took place, and how in 2016 it might have been hard to get the boys to do two-hour meetings. Is that right?
Well, they were a difficult group. There were some real characters in there, Wade, James Maloney, Luke Lewis, Paul Gallen, you know, put them together. They never, ever wanted to do the same thing at the same time. And then you had blokes like Jack Bird there as well. Yeah. It was a real interesting group, but it was enjoyable, obviously, and successful. Who was the toughest manager?
What changes are needed for the Dragons to improve?
Was it Wade or was it Jimmy Maloney? Well, Jimmy was good when he was on the park. When he was out on the grass, he was outstanding. He was smart and he got it done, but anywhere else, video, gym, I don't think he wanted to go to the gym at all.
Giles was the hardest to manage. He was a hypochondriac. There was always something wrong with him. He can't train because of this or I'm not going to be out this weekend. I won't make the game. Sure enough, captain's run.
How is the Titans' performance affecting their season?
He's there. He's ready to go. Yeah, the physios used to come to me all the time. Gal's got this. Gal's got that. And I just never even listened to it because I'd seen it for a couple of years. He was always right. He was always right.
Was it grand final week we had the back or was that pre? What was the finals game?
What are the expectations for the upcoming State of Origin?
No, that was the game down in Canberra. He did his back. He used to sneak into the gym and do some extra training, and he went in and hurt his back before the semifinal against Canberra. So we lose him, and then Wade got knocked out, first tackle. And then Kurt Cape will come on, and he'd come off the bench a heap, but never really played a whole game. And then he'd come on after four or five minutes, I think. He was fantastic.
He was fantastic, yeah. It was a special group you guys had. Like, even mention someone like Kurt Catewell, who's obviously played Origin now, like, coming off your bench.
What does the future hold for Kieran Foran as a coach?
Like, you guys had an insane team that year.
Yeah, well, Kurt come down from Brizzy, and he was, like, a different type of player. He could play centre, he could play back row, and, you know, we had, you know, obviously some real strength in our back row in Wade and Louis and Gal. He never really got too many opportunities, but when he got it in, you know, in the semi-final, and I think we were down 12-0 at one stage, you know, And he had to come back and win. And that was probably the start of his career.
Yeah.
I love the Viking clap as well that game.
That was incredible from Mick Ennis. That was a big game down there because we had a good season. We were on the run and we won a lot of games. But once we had that loss, I think it was against the Titans, maybe a draw against the Titans.
Draw against the Titans.
And then we lost. We actually lost a lot coming in, but it was more because of how experienced our team was. We talk about Gowza, Louis, Chris Hyenton, 300 gamers almost at that stage. It was like all the older boys were just treading water a little bit because they knew there was bigger games on the horizon.
