    Flanno's New Signings

    Hi All, Jack Bird was terrific before the 2 or 3 ACLs and on going apparent health issues hit him. I thought gave his best for us and he could go well for the Tigs. I think I read that Jack was on solid coin any $500k ? So we certainly have some cash in the kitty ( given that Zac is a swap with...

    Couchmen

    The Coachmens are good players. They stand there ground and carry pretty well. Sharks got a couple of 50/50s today when one or the other?coachmen boys were stripped of the ball on the ground in a tackle and an ‘accidental’ knee in the play the ball by Tony Rudolph. Judging by Tony Rudolph’s...

    Round 25 v Sharks

    I note all the opinions and posts. My contribution; The sharkes had our lack of speed in the backs a priority for attack. I have never understood why over the past 10 years odd we have not recruited speed ( Ramsey an exception). Matt and Max can carry strongly but are slow backs. Forget Zac to...

    Dragon Dave, glad you will continue to post. I have always valued your sensible and passionate approach when making comments. Cheers.

    Kyle Flanagan

    Interesting decision by the judiciary. We have banned tackles; head high, chicken wing, crusher, the creeper, the spear, head slam, hip drop, shoulder charge and rav late arm wrap. Is it possible that the NRL may outlaw a new tackle category called the erotica? Perhaps, described as ‘a player...

    Valentine Holmes

    BLM I agree, Holmes will be mostly 29 years old in 2025/ 30 in 2026/ 31 in 2027. So good years ( not best still available). Genuinely very fast and a good goalkicker. Paying probably $100k a season overs, however must give Shane Flanagan the reins to sink or swim.

    Round 23 v The Bloody Bulldogs

    Brief comment; The bulldogs looked a bit better most of the game. Phil Gould has been able to buy Elite and quality players for the dogs ( Ado Carr, Chricton, Burton, etc ) and it shows. Our roster not at that level. However, we competed well and I agree that at a pinch and some rub of the...

    Round 22 v The Storm

    I try not to get angry and despondent posting on the forum. I am a very long term supporter but my chin is dropping a bit. Any player that starts gets an NRL game has to be congratulated and will have shown ability. Most of us have been park players and that level of ability was it...

    Flanno's New Signings

    Happy for Val Holmes up to $750k. Sorry to all the Zac fans but Holmes is a better and very fast and can kick goals. Holmes is a very good player.

    Sloan

    For what it is worth, if the Feagai are sticking around why not groom them for backrower or lock. I mentioned this a few months ago ( got no support or reaction lol) but now a few posters are throwing this up in other threads. Matt n Max both strong and mobile. Slow for backs ( like Lomax). Add...

    Flanno's New Signings

    This Talagai ‘rumour’ has been around that long it is just that and as we often say ‘ stay calm everyone noone is coming’.

    The Rumours Thread

    Yes I can be an arm chair recruiter ( like the rest of us lol). That acknowledged I have seen players going around I thought were great buys long before the storm recruitment. Two examples; Remis Smith and Nick Meaney. I noticed both because they had high end speed. I saw Remis Smith outpace...

    Dufty v Sloan

    This is one of those questions which polarise fans. All I will say is that Matt Dufty scored trys that very few players ( if any) could score. This includes his 2019 Anzac Day pearler where he broke through the roosters forward pack with power 60 metres out, came to Teddy and hurdled his...

    The Rumours Thread

    Already noted that Daniel Saifiti would be a top buy. Now 28 years old and also since 2016 he has rarely suffered any long term injuries. That made Cam Smith such terrific value. Hardly ever injured in over 10 years of NRL. Even though Cam paid huge dollars; on a a ‘cost per game’ was amazing...

    Flanno's New Signings

    Daniel Saifiti definitely up to $700k a quality buy. Lodge has been plagued by injury for two years now; quite a risk. I think Wayne Bennent signed him after those legal problems some years back, so fit is a solid player.

    Round 18 v Roosters

    I notice that Tony is reasonably quick for a forward. Made a genuine fist out of his chasing of Teddy. Many different opinions and comments which are relevant. I believe that senior Flanno is getting the best out of the squad he inherited. I have said previously that the gong is a nice place...

    Round 18 v Roosters

    I am not sad and not happy. Roosters just stockpile internationals and have a fab roster. I thought the Roosters would win comfortably and they won easily. No use whinging about their roster as one way or another top class players come to their club and it is what it is. The games best centre...

    The Rumours Thread

    I watched SOO and thought gee Qld got some nice block of penalties n 6 agains in 2nd half, some were pretty rubbishy imo; probably, big ask to get fair share at sun corp in a decider. I gather Ashley Klein is judged the best ref going around at the moment?

    Damien Cook

    For what it is worth. I don’t think that Wishart is anything to be excited about. Damien Cook is OK. Genuinely very quick and has been a top class player and probably will continue to hold his own, even if past his best.

    The Rumours Thread

    Hi All, I know Shane Flanagan has noted from the get go that it would be an advantage to train up in Kogarah each week. It seemed he was musing that the sheer distance to Wollongong is a deterrent factor in landing quality signings and keeping them. I guess to travel to Sydney for whatever...
