Flanno's New Signings

[Biglance]

You’d think with Cowboys playing in Sydney last night things might move along - don’t know if any 10-day cooling off involved? Plus other clubs have been doing business without media being aware or making it public. (AFB, Talagi just to name 2)

Theres a rumour that he ahs been talking with the club for a while, even been at training a few times

I've no doubt that Flanno and Val have been talking for ages, but him rocking up to training seems hard to imagine unless its a near sure thing... as its bound to result in photos and potentially drama... but it would be essentially him checking out 'the facilities' so to speak..

I wouldn’t think a first grade rugby league team would allow a player from another team to check out how they train. I could be wrong though.

Dan Saifiti has gone quiet and know Flanno is out in the media regarding Val.

Both getting on the front foot through the media or keeping the cards close hasn't been successful. So, at this point, who cares.

If you want to play FB and not so keen on centre.................hmm maybe we have the offer for Val that he cant refuse?

Unless the Roosters say 2025 Centre
2026 FB ?
hmmmmmm ouch

 

[Gardenia]

Yes -
1) The HAVES and
2) The HAVE NOTS

The Dragons can be successful. Become more proactive and don't surrender should be their motto.

Become Proactive absolutely

Also find out what it is exactly that is turning players off

Is it the facilities? whatever it is fix it !!

 

[Gardenia]

Roosters to replace Keary perhaps….

Deal is probably already done in the background ( Moses to Roosters)

Roosters always scared me for this year. with the players they have leaving they will be cashed up

Max Plath would be a great signing within the next 2 years

Versatile with a big future

He's a really good player. Can slip into dummy half, good ball skills. Great work ethic. Old fashioned tough. Has a dumb penalty in him occasionally. Not often I begrudgingly admit I like an opposition player but he's a good one.

They love Plath up there (we wont get guys who are happy at their club), the best case scenario is we find our own Plath or Hazleton, someone who is stuck in reserves behind established forwards.. but realistically.. we have our own young guys (18-19yrs old so still a while off), we have our couchmans (if extended, nrly 21 and probably bench ready).

So Flanno is only looking for guys who come into our squad in 2025 and make IMMEDIATE impact.. hes not looking for more projects.. from his perspective he needs a 2nd good year for 1st grade to a) retain his job and b) build that momentum that allows us to keep improving that roster... we cant afford to fail during this rebuild period.

You are probably right they don’t usually miss a target. Amazing what a difference it makes when your financial backer is a passionate supporter of the club & wants success. Sigh !
