Sharks rule out safe haven if Carney and Roosters part ways

[jc155776]

So he will be in the front row in 2012?

 

[Poss]

No... Backrow for atleast next 2 years according to SF.

 

[Bastard Squad]

Flanno says back row, his ball skills are too good for a front rower

 

[Card Shark]

No... Backrow for atleast next 2 years according to SF.

Meaning 2nd row, not lock. Graham for lock?

 

[Poss]

Shane was very quick to avoid the Todd Carney questions and said today was about Paul Gallen. He even had a bit of a go at Gal for answering the TC question in depth. Flanno said "We are not talking about Todd Carney today, though Gal went on a bit just then". ha!

well done Gal.....absolute legend of the club

to think he could of left for bigger offers and a chance of a premiership...a testement to the man he is

 

[Ken Ebb]

Spoke very well.
Mentioned that the bad percieved reputation we have as battlers is bullshit and that we are in the same boat as most other clubs.
Good press conference, positive signs for the club.
I like how Gal described the Shire as "the best place to live in Sydney" and that a lot of NRL players live in the area anyway.

I think he knows if he can get carney here he is a chance of a premisership in our colours

 

[roboshark]

maybe...need another quality back along with vcarney to be a real shot

great news for gal and the sharks!

looks like flanno is getting a bit more confortable talking to the media also

I admit he has improved but he still needs a lot of work on that front.

He didn't look as prepared as he should have been to answer certain questions.

In particular the Carney question.

 

[roboshark]

DS i thought he handled the carney qtn well...said it was about gal and not carney...simple but firm

put the journos back in their spot....maybe it was just me but he did well on that one

 

[DJShaksta]

Gal should be the Aussie captain next year.
He is all class.

No dark clouds hanging over him like the bloke from down south.

Comments section in the DT is worth a laugh - see comment 8.

[roboshark]

[Coastal Shark]

And further - this from an article in the DT:

'Flanagan will meet with Riolo today about another player but is certain to discuss the Carney situation.'

Wrong.

He let Gal give them a bite...then cut em off.
