I'm still amazed that we are still looking at him after what he did, just think if he was in our side and pulled that stunt after not being in finals for many years, we would all want his head on a platter, not to mention he is still professing his innocence. Oh well Flanno knows best, I stand to be corrected and I hope I am.

Well we signed Val Holmes, seems most people have forgotten what he did.

I hope he goes to the Eels as the bloke seems a flog!

There is a slight difference between the 2 incidents though, JAC actually had it in his system whilst VH was never proven to be, still not condoning what he did.

Coaches/clubs are in a very difficult position, I am sure most would like to have a definate no dickhead policy & have nothing to do with players for unacceptable behaviour & most of the "mature" members of this forum would definitely share that view as I do. BUT if coaches/clubs have that policy it would restrict their ability to build a successful side significantly. Another club will always come along & pick up that "rogue" if they have ability & hope they can change their attitude & make them a better person & player. Bennett has been doing that for years & has been very successful at it. Flanno has a small window to bring success to the club or he will end up like Kevie Walters, we all saw how the number of good players available at the right price reduced when the Dolphins came in & it will continue to happen with 2 new teams coming in. Im not saying it is right but its reality IMO.

So one of them is stupider than the other, is basically what your saying

The situation is as you describe and the only way to resolve it is to leave it to the NRL to rub players out or not. Otherwise, individual clubs that try to hold standards will get undermined every time. No one likes it, but there it is.

Sadly cocaine is everywhere and in all layers of society. Its out of your system quickly compared to other drugs. Accepted by a large part of the population as a fun drug due to Hollywood glorifying it's use and status of users. Affordable to NRL players. Bit like grass in the 70s.

Gus will only say go to the Dragons because we have got salary cap space and it frees more dollars at the Dogs.
Think there will be a few more hoops to jump through as usual to get the JAC deal over the line with the Dragons.

I reckon we might be the only possible NRL club he could land at (at a price the dogs would be happy with)? I'm sure others would take him as more of a backup.. but most have decent quality wingers already.

But Flanno plays hardball, and so does Gus.. so there is no deal over the line there at all until its done.. and we still need Rava gone somehow.. another winger on our books who I dont think Flanno will ever play in 1st grade again.
