Flanno said on 2GB today that Bud has been given permission to talk to others that may be interested, he also believes Ben Hunt will stay at the Dragons next year based on the discussions he has had with him about next year, Mbye has signed & is leaving for the UK on Monday. He also said he has been talking to over a dozen player some off contract some that would need to ask for a release from their current contract, he wants Sele & they are currently in negotiations with him. He is not going to rush out & sign players he will continue to talk to potential signings. He did say he now has his team in place for next year (but didnt elaborate on who & in what positions) so I am assuming he will take on the recruitment role if he is not signing any others to be his assistants. Interesting, but if you are waiting for any signing announcements you may be waiting a while. He was asked if he was expecting immediate success with the team & replied he was expecting the team to make the top 8 next year.
