Flanno's New Signings

[TheRev]

I don't believe that there is much you can do about player shortcomings like that. Deep levels of fitness and quick recovery (a big motor) is just a natural gift, like speed. Can't improve it much if you haven't already got it.

This is my view.. no doubt he has improved over 2024, 2 runs is now 3 or 4 great ones.. but the rate of improvement wasnt what we had hoped for after a year without injury (2023 it was fair enough with his sternum injury).

He might make it.. Alec T was close also.. but like you said, we can put years of work into him, but its a 50cc motor powering that huge frame.. and I think we can only tune it so far.. and I'd rather give his spot to one of the other young guns that we will otherwise have to give up.

In the short-term however, I would suggest if we do let him go early, that frees the spot up for the extra halfback we need.. it all depends how Flanno manages to spend the 3 free slots he said he has.. if he wants 2 middles, plus an outside back plus the halves cover then we still need to move atleast 1 more on.

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

Possum, I love your optimism sincerely!

With Hunt having only one season left, we have to be attractive to some skilled half who wants an NRL starting spot.
