Anyone else disappointed in the progress of Flanders?

Yeah looked like he'd go far in his debut season, has since kind of drifted back to the pack. Pretty tough to get noticed when you can barely even get a game off the bench though.

Flanders has the goods but when fit Holland treats him like our other promising players, random starts and dropped after good performances.

Anyone else disappointed in the progress of Flanders? Absolute star in age grade but has failed to progress as far as I was hoping. Sure it may be lack of opportunities, but it is almost a chicken and egg scenario. One thing I have noticed about Flanders is his propensity to go down with cramp during the late stages of a game. Maybe he has body issues holding him back?

I think if they'd made an effort to develop him properly, he'd be an AB this year. The injury means that isn't going to happen, but it wasn't going to happen healthy either.

I'm a Chiefs fan through and through, but I think he has a higher ceiling than Jacobson and if the Canes had looked at their resources appropriately, they'd have had him at 8, Ardie at 7, and Iose (Howden or even Princep) at 6.

I hope he moves and gets opportunities.

I can only hope the Canes play better than the Blues otherwise they could be in trouble.

@chimoaus Tbh, I'm a bit nervous about this game.

@Stargazer Reds are without James O'Connor though.

Canes4life

Prinsep out.

Stargazer

What did the commentator say about a late change to the Canes squad? Princep out?

Canes4life

Howden is starting

Machpants

Things are looking up

Stargazer

@Canes4life Did they say who comes onto the bench?

That's the most not straight throw I have ever seen.

That was stupid by Sullivan

Bones

Way to absolutely fuck up a throw so not straight it looked like a shot at goal, Angus.

Canes4life

For fuck sake refs do your job. That was sooo crooked.

chimoaus

Yellow I would say.

Stargazer

Marginal. Shouldn't be more than yellow.

Crazy Horse

Fuck me another card.
