Kyle Flanagan

How goes the coaches son? Better than how he went at Dogs and Easts I hope?

As far as I am concerned Kyle is doing quite well in combination with Ben Hunt in the halves. To me Kyle is playing better under his Dad than he did under the coaches at the Dogs (who treated him like a nobody) and the Roosters (did ok with them but they had Walker lined up). His attack and defence so far with us has been solid.

I'm looking forward to the match on Anzac Day when he will be marking Sam Walker - this could be the highlight of the game.

I think the Roosters got it wrong when they terminated KF’s contract, and the Bulldogs didn’t know how to put the best structures in to utilise Kyle’s strengths.

In combination with a running half (Hunt) these two will eventually prove to be one of the most lethal half combinations in the competition.

Just need a little more faith from Hunt, but he’s getting there (I think)

When Flanju was coming through the grades they had a very, very good team.
His halves partner?
Luke Metcalfe.
Your point is solid.

Metcalfe would be a great solution post hunt… could he be homesick please

Yes, would love it if Metcalfe was able to come the Dragons and partner Kyle Flanno. Metcalfe's deal with the Warriors is to the end of 2026, so if Hunt stays with us until then and retires, Metcalfe could be someone for the Dragons to think about getting to join the club from 2027.

Flanno should have dinner with Metcalfe asap and offer him starting spot and less money to move. He has 2 years left on his contract so by NRL rules that should be fine.

I can’t see the combo changing for a while

maybe even into 2026/27

last week could have easily been 3 more tries we scored - 2 at least via Kyle

the management of the ruck and forwards by Kyle the extra time Hunt now has for attacking kick is so much better than last year.

Kyle now swapping sides in attack with Hunt when the opportunities and or set plays are presenting really started to evolve last week

they look really well complimented and in control

plus they are tough to exposé defensively

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

Wow weeeee

 

[thebigredv]

Not going to bag Kyle when the entire team looked lost out there.

The real winner today is Sunia Turuva for making a sound career decision.

We will be losers for a little time yet.

What a difference a couple of hours make…

Glad to see Flan Jr getting good feedback - when he debuted for the Sharks in 2018 and played a few games in 2019 he looked quite solid, but seems he only plays well with his Dad as coach.
