Flanno's New Signings

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Get farked!

Speechless... really disappointed....

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

With all due respect, this is incorrect....

In the words of one of the better known posters here,

Rome wasn't built in a day....We are no longer signing players for the sake of filling up our roster.

The problem still remains though, our back-up halves are Paul Turner. That's it. That's all we have. We know Flanno wants another half, that's why he was talking to Dearden and Welsby, neither of whom are coming. This has a bad smell about it, and fans have every right to be concerned.

I agree.... both those 2 never got past the initial stages... AFB is incredibly disappointing...

Not sure where to from here....

That’s exactly what we are doing actually. Eisenhuth and Allen are just depth squad fillers. No vision whatsoever. Just stop gap measures.

Warriors just landed a rep level player who wasn’t even supposed to be moving. Roosters grabbing Union stars. We just hope we can Steve Bradbury it with the AFB signing and investing further the much maligned Hunt. Not giving me great confidence.

f**k this club

Poor Flannos stint is over before it has begun

 

[Saints Forever]

Hopefully in both cases we forced the price up

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

AFB signed for Cronulla for 100k less per year. Let that sink in

I can smell the spoon, it’s so close!
Flanno seems to be shooting blanks so far.

Eisenhuth and allan are 1 year deals for 24...

AFB a big blow...let's wait and see if we can jag another of the players we have targeted.

Now wait for Hunt to start whining again about wanting out , this time I can't blame him and the spoon is getting closer and closer ...... I thought we would have got AFB but no the Sharks do ...... What a basket case we are .......

 

[Dragons4me]

Again if the story's true, I wonder how how much we sacking him played a part in his decision. See taking the moral high ground may have been the right thing to do but not everyone agrees when it's to their benefit.

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.

Meltdown only just beginning, baby! What was that about the sharks and AFB?

tired of being told to pipe down when some of those on here have no idea what they are on about when it’s clear to all in sundry that we are rudderless and in despair.

Flanno has been deep sea fishing in a dinghy

Yep can't blame anyone , little bit of hope we had is gone , so can't see anything happening soon .......

A lot I’d say. Imagine being fired by a company. You go out, make a name for yourself in another company. Then the company that fired you comes crawling back to take you back. And you turn them down cold and join another company for less. I reckon you couldn’t wipe the smile off AFB’s face.

come on, admit it. We all want to see Flanagan do great things but he looks a little out of his depth at the helm so far. Talking a mean game but unable to do much in recruitment. Whoever replaced Hook was always going to be up the creek.

 

[Dragons4me]

Again if true, we're going to have to read about and listen to every ninth rate journo's "exclusive" on this from now till god knows when.
Oh goody!

No Chance

Finefeuiaki will go to the Dolphins
Luki will stay at the Cowboys
Manu will stay at the Roosters
