Flanno's New Signings

[Desperate Dragon]

Ok thanks. Did anything come of the meeting?

Well what we do know is Holmes has been told he will not be offered a new deal by the Cowboys after 2025.
Flanagan more than likely offering him a 3 or 4 year deal from 2025.
We were also chasing Talagi, so the plan is to sign two outside backs.
Not sure who else we are talking to as far as outside backs go, other than Holmes.

3 years max please

we cant afford to miss another target.. we get holmes as a marquee and its much easier for the other guys we r chasing.. for the sake of an extra year id sign him, even if he ends up on the wing at the end.

Holmes would be too old to be targeted by the Bears, but our other targets might be.

As stated on here, a like for like replacement for Lomax so hoping it comes off.

Are we sure about Holmes?

Defence can be very iffy.

Probably more about the quality of Staggs.. wish we could get someone like him or Bradman Best. But alas, not available

Yep, we are sure about him.

With Lomax leaving how can you not be sure

Our Backline depth/quality for 2025 is honestly horrendous

I cant re-iterate enough that with our current pulling power, there are no "sure things" that are coming to our club.. in 12 months time .. maybe... we are taking punts on some players.. its just a question of which ones.. the money is there to be spent.

With Lomax going we need to replace him with someone better than another filler.. we need some strike... and what makes Holmes a triple-threat is he covers ctr, goalkicks, and provides backup for a Sloan injury.. we sailed thru this year with basically no cover for all 4 spine positions.. we cant do that again.
