Flanno's New Signings

[possm]

Maybe the delay is Flano trying to create a deal for the Dragons to get AFB for 2024?? Now that would be good!

I'm tipping the deal will include a swap for the Molo Bros. and will be for 2024 on.

He had one game at fullback and made a couple of errors.

Definitely been run better than our mob for the last few years

That wouldn’t be difficult

sharks fans are under the belief that if they can match the offer afb will be theres/

I dont think its that simple, i think it has to trump ours.

Why would it need to trump ours? What are you basing that on?

Take off the Dragons glasses, we aren’t an attractive club for players.

Welp Flanno is 0/2 for 2025 with Welsby staying with St Helens and Dearden staying with the Cowboys

let’s pray he can pull something out of his ass cause if he can’t it ain’t looking good

Be patient they say

f**k patience lmao

they threw all there eggs in 1 basket with Dearden he said no , then we miss out on even having a crack at Luai and he goes to the Tigers

It isn't as simple as there were two 5/8's on the market, therefore we should've gone for both. They are completely different types of players. One fits the mould for what our team needs, the other does not. Luai doesn't fit the bill, wanted 5 years and $1.2million, for what will likely be a questionable, at best, output from him at the Tigers. No thanks. Shame we missed out on Dearden, that does sting, and I won't sit here and pretend its all fine. But I would've been way more concerned had we gone for or signed Luai at that price and for that length of time. He is the wrong player for us specifically, not everything is black and white.

We look stupid that's for sure and if we miss out on AFB, well what can I say - a big fat thumbs down to our recruitment department and our head coach. The usual explanations will come out in the wash which we have all come accustomed to.

We thought that once November 1st came we might have had a few goodies already signed up for 2025 by late November. Now, there is little to aspire to. Bloody hell!!

For the same $$$…Play for a decent team and Live in Cronulla, or have to travel between Kogarah and Wollongong each week, play for a team that fired you a while back, that came second last, who can’t attract top players…seems like an easy choice.

Until this club get rid of Haran & Millward, whom are 2nd rate amateur hour managers/directors/co-ordinators….then we will struggle to compete with the big clubs with smart operators.

Doesn’t want to make any rash signings. Proceeds to buy his son, Sele and two short signings of discards in Eisenhuth and Allen.

Sorry it’s not adding up to me. Not a ball has been passed, I get that, but it looks like we are still just a destination that serves to keep average players employed a little longer.

We need AFB and we need him immediately. Nothing else will suffice at this point.

I may be wrong, but with Luai in the midst of the 10 day cooling down period, we can still have an 11th hour crack at him if we decide to can't we?
I am pretty sure it is an open invitation, not just for his current club to try and change his mind.
Don't even know if he would be the right fit for us, but I will take anything at this stage.

We wait & wait for quality signings
Nothing yet again

Plan B anyone for the halves ?

The ELITE are no coming

 

[Dragonslayer]

Wow! What a meltdown.

Were we even seriously looking at Deardon? If you look at Flanno's rhetoric, he wants Hunt to see out his contract with us ie 2025. Not that I'm in favour of that, it's just his preference.

As I commented yesterday in the rumours thread, our focus is on getting one of their forwards.
As for AFB, the Sharks can't match our offer. They simply don't have the cap space.

However, as we all know, there are only 2 certainties in life, and signing a NRL player isn't one of them.
