Flanno's New Signings

[mickeylane]

No i

Do I detect a little sarcasm ? I just read about his DUI issue and already knew about the domestic violence stuff from a couple of years ago. Hope he behaves himself if he comes to StGI.

I also just had a look at LL's stats for 2023 and he's actually some margin ahead of both Luki and Finefeuiaki in metres, completed tackle %'s and has way more off-loads. All 3 played about a dozen games for the year.

actually like him and culture wise I think it’s ideal environment plus Flanno makes me feel eerily comfortable.. he’s so focused no one is going to get a free ride from him unlike Hook and his mates club

Let it be true, the bloke is a gun when he’s on.
Get the check book out, we need footballers like Luc.
Moses Suli and Luciano Leilua in the same side, tackle that!

Run at that?

For us to sign LL we would have to do 1 of 3 things:
1. Immediately sack a player (which there seems to be no incidents requiring this atm)
2. Drop a player from the top 30 to a T&T or KOE Cup contract.
3. Sign LL to a T&T contract (which would be unlikely given the vast difference in current salary to a T&T salary, which the NRL probably would approve)

Some creative accounting may be required if indeed we want LL.

Agree a fit Luc is a very dangerous runner just what Flanno wants. He has killed us every time he has played against us since leaving. I would be happy with the signing .

Yeh look he's not gonna get Australian of the year but would boost the strike of the team dramatically - got a lot more consistent than he was at the Dragons under the "tutelage" of Mary

"Australian of the year". LOL LOL...

Old Nick at Bondi Junction might have a spare sombrero he can lend us.

On the radio one of the solutions was that we pay out Corey Allan his full contract and free up the spot

Yes just read that and indeed an option. They could also pay out Turner as well which probably the preferred imo.
I think they want to keep Allen around, so Turner is my guess.

Perhaps Paul Turner relegated to a T & T contract. Can't see him ever pushing his way into the first grade side.

 

[Dragsters]

Surely this is the most logical way to accommodate him?

I was under the impression that T&T players only got like $1200 a week, im sure Turner is on a bigger contract, can't see that solution working.

Treigh Stewart who was fb when playing with Sloan in juniors is at the Broncs.

Flanno will have to get him fit as he missed our off-season fitness training. And from memory, Lielua was a poor defender so, this will will also have to be addressed.

 

[justadragon]

Lets hope Luc leaves a whole heap of baggage behind him and arrives with a new attitude

Hopefully they’re not defending next to each other

Rumour from the Herald that Leilua could be coming back immediately. Hopefully not for 700k.

I think its the Storm

 

[TheRev]

It will be 750k+, but we had atleast a million spare in our cap with no way to spend it.. so this is an absolute no brainer.. the spare change pays out whoever is making way for him.

Dont see why the Dogs would want Luciano though...they have Kikau and Preston.. thats a cracking pair.. they just want a middle and Luciano wouldnt want to play there.

 

[hewi]

What about Ramsey been ruled out for the year? Is that a possibility to free up a spot.
