Flanno's New Signings

[mattw5]

Board not negotiating these contracts
The coach is

Flanno is known to be a tight ass which i don't mind but frustrating when we can't land anyone

 

[mattw5]

Who's crying? No need to over dramatize things. Just think he'd be a better option at lock than Eisenhuth. He's got mongrel, hits hard and averages 100m a game. On to the next

Exactly Eisenhuth filled a gap this season but we have an opportunity to get Hethrington but re-sign him we need to upgrade when opportunities present themselves.

lol why did we need Jack Williams? Back row is one of our main (nay only?) strengths!

Possm that'd be lovely and all, but Trindall and Hazleton aren't available till 2026 and RCG isn't interested in us... wonder what we'd have to offer them to get 2 players out of contract early?

RCG had a tiff with Flanno. Our new CEO will smooth thisover and sign RCG and others.

It's not that we needed the player 'Williams', its that parra have had a new coach come in, and signed Iongi, Hawkins & Williams, locked up Hopgood, Guymer & Hands.. thats some fast moving.. all of those coule be part of a Top 17 or certainly quality backups..

Meanwhile we are sitting here trying to squeeze every deal and signed squat so far.

The Couchman boys will steop up in 2025.

Yep I dont think RCG will still be on the market by the time our new CEO has given notice from his old gig and his feet under the desk.. thats 2025... in any case this is really between Flanno, RCG and his manager Mark Stewart, RCG has gone back on his verbal agreement to come for 2yrs.. so is that a bridge Flanno is willing to forgive.. I can see it from both sides.. but ultimately its business right.. RCG has to do the best for his career/family.. he thought he had a gig at the Broncos or whoever... unless its RCG whos the one whos a 'hard no' on us.. but surely limited options must come into this.

But Flanno has also said he doesnt want mercenaries.. he wants players who want to be here.. and again thats a legit philosophy.. but we arent the destination to have that luxury yet imo.

Having said all that.. if Penrith come out next week and have signed him to replace JFH.. well.. there u go.

If he had a tiff with Flanno how do you think he will play for him lol

New CEO starts in April. Too late.

Any chance that over the preseason Flanno & Deano can install some fire and a bigger motor into the young prop we got from Manly last year?

Maguire has advised Hetherington he is wanted at the broncos, not expected to leave now. Things change rapidly in the market, unless you are the dragons…

Having seen him play, I doubt it.
Unless something changes, looks like he is a part of Flanagan's plans for 2025.
Would be a massive bonus for us if Flanagan can unlock the big fella's potential.
Still think teams like Melbourne and Cronulla and a few others will need to unload a player or two due to salary cap constraints.
Welch most likely at the Storm, Kaufisi or Hamlin-Uele from the Sharks.
Plenty of players also looking for more money/up grades at the Broncos.
Really don't understand why the Jack Williams signing news was even talked about here.
28 years old and not even considered a regular first grade player.
I am hoping Flanagan is looking for something of a much higher quality to add to our pack.
