Does anyone else think this was a bad look on Sat post game?

Yes I know it's his son, and the game was over, but surely if you are employed as assistant coach at Manly you'd leave this chat to when you get home?

 

[Woodsie]

Please ...

 

[Jock]

Give us a break

 

[lillchip]

For the record I was there, and lots of others around me were commenting on it... just didn't feel right at the time being more concerned about his son than celebrating with the guys he coaches... but if you all think it's no big deal then fine with me... was just a question

 

[lsz]

Even I think this is going too far

 

[KaZa]

Nope.

"unlucky son.. didnt think you should have been binned.. but it is what it is. Only first game you will improve. Going to go enjoy our win now with the manly boys. See you at dinner at manly leagues. "

Whats the issue?

 

[winnyason]

It's his Son and he trying to save his nrl career here. I know I would do the same.

FMD that’s a bit harsh.

"Dad, the refs picked on me and I don't know why I keep running in circles".

"Stop whinging son, or I'll nail your other foot to the floor".

Might've been recruiting his son!

FTR - It's fine.

As long as he wants to be a ball boy then we have a spot for him.

Maybe he is giving him instructions after the game, because I did not see him during the game. Who is he and did he play?

Family comes first , ALWAYS.

 

[Birdman72]

No. Would be more weird not to talk to your son.

 

[deanm]

Just for context please, Did Flanno only talk to his Son or did he talk to our boys as well ? I seriously don't see anything wrong with this, as stated above family first.

 

[stoodamire]

I wonder if the OP has children.

 

[Shoe1]

What’s the issue?? It is completely fine that he spoke to his son. Jeez.

It is pretty common to see staff from all clubs talking to opposition players/staff.

 

[Stevo]

Haha legit the ****test post ever...ever seen on this forum. The thought that a father should have to ignore his son because of their employers. You know its sport right? Honestly.

 

[Disco]

Non issue

What a question, would you ignore your own son in that environment?
