It wasn't just Lachie, it was a lot of players in the team." The coach is looking for a collective effort from the team to secure their first victory of the season and pull off an upset against a strong opposition.

The team is aiming to make amends for their previous loss and show resilience in the face of criticism.

Flanagan's faith in Ilias and the rest of the spine reflects his confidence in their ability to turn things around and deliver a stronger performance.

The coach's focus on accountability and improvement indicates a determined effort to address the team's shortcomings and work towards a positive result.

As the Dragons gear up for the upcoming challenge, Flanagan's message to his players is clear: take responsibility and step up.

With the support of his coaching staff and senior players, Flanagan is urging the team to come together and show their best against the Storm.

By highlighting the need for all players to contribute and improve, the coach is setting a high standard for the team as they strive for success in their next match.
