SHANE Flanagan has put the heat on Cronulla for a contract extension and upgrade — despite being provisionally banned until the end of this season and facing further sanction over attending the Sharks trial last weekend.
Cronulla has resolutely backed Flanagan since his nine month suspension started last December, but the coach — off-contract on 1 November — is chasing further assurance in the form of a new deal that would establish his long-term future in the Shire.
But NRL punishments over alleged management failures that underpinned the 2011 supplement program has stalled negotiations, prompting concerns among certain Sharks insiders that Flanagan could look to neighbouring rivals St George Illawarra if an extension is not finalised soon.
Flanagan’s agent, Wayne Beavis, denied on Wednesday night that there had been any contact with the Dragons as yet.
“I’ve not said a word to them about Shane. Absolutely not,” Beavis said.
Dragons CEO Peter Doust revealed he spoke with Beavis on Wednesday, but Flanagan was not discussed.
With Steve Price also off-contract after twice falling short of finals qualification, the coaching matrix at St George Illawarra is once again under the spotlight.

A classic case of "let's use dragons to boost my price" tactic. We are an embarrassment.

Because we were mentioned in a Telecrap article? Duh.

Typical bullshit story from garbage rag.

It won't though, no other club will offer him a gig.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Aparantly this super grass guy on MMM this morning reported the same thing but added that Flano would bring some Sharks players with him to the Dragons.

This is the same guy that reported that the Saints got upto some mischief the other week before the Nines which did not come out as fact.

Just another story from the Manager's agent to boost his value? Funny how he is asking for a pay rise from the Sharks? WTF

 

[hardbaby]

If the Sharks hold onto Fifita and Flanno it will cost them approx $800k/year extra. Money they don't have. Good luck with that.

 

[bottle]

He'll be flat out keeping this job let alone getting another once all the shit filters through.

Wanna swap!:lol:

 

[St Georgio]

Even If Flanno was interested in coaching the Dragons, No thanks, I rather Brian Smith for two years and then Nathan Brown to take over Smithy, with Smithy staying on in Some form, Similar to Daniel Anderson at Parra.

 

[Jubileeboy]

Absolute garbage...as if we would be scraping the barrell hoping for a reject from the scum. How good is he going over there ? lol
FMD...he even makes The Sheenius look good

You guys might get the gist that as supporters of our club, we don't want this clown back!

We are pretty much over him and disgusted at the failings he has been banned for.

But Cronulla being Cronulla, our f**king dipshyte board will probably back this bloke all the way and give him a pay rise.

Cronullafied!

Looks like both our clubs have something in common when it comes to our board.

Flano is an absolute liability; why else would he be banned from coaching for a second time. They obviously have some pretty damning evidence against him to enforce such a ban in the first place. He is currently suspended, so why anyone would even consider him as an option in the future is perplexing.

No no no to Flanagan.
