It's for the better.....Why now he wanted to leave last year...

 

[Munky]

Flanno Jr as your dominant half.

Ninety-nine first grade games and less than a year younger than Cleary.

Lucky his dad is coach because he is f**king shit.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

LOL @ DRAGONS

 

[Gardenia]

Good Move by the club - ballsy move but a good one.

Yes, he is a very skilled player and an experienced 7.

But this had to happen

Dragons showing some pride and standards.

Wish him the best and thanks for his services but
the time has come for change

Because Flanno Sr got upset he said Gutho might be coming to play 6.

I doubt Flanno is that thin-skinned but, in any case, you can't have a Captain trying to shit-stir the Coach via the media, What a f'n clown!

Firstly, its not up to any team Captain to say who should or shouldn't be in the team. Its not the Captain's job. Doing it via the media is just unprofessional way to do it also.

Further, it would not be conducive to team building and team harmony. Light years from it in fact.

The coach playing their park footballer quality son in a key position can't be great for team cohesion either

 

[Apey]

I'm gunna miss the Ben Hunt and Dragons relationship.

 

[Someguy]

Would be an upgrade over Sandon Smith for the roosters and with their accounting likely cheaper too

 

[This Year?]

I'm gunna miss the Ben Hunt and Dragons relationship.

It's pretty much like these two.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

Because Flanno Sr got upset he said Gutho might be coming to play 6.

yeah nah, it's a culmination of the past 18 months

shit captain, shit leader, clogs up the attack

can go to the dogs to sabotage their club, and carry on like a prat on the field when somebody makes an error

That Parramatta game was the last straw.

Was pointing fingers after his first shit pass in the first minute. Then proceeded to be the antithesis of a good leader, trying to instill some confidence in the playing group. Just awful body language on the field all game.

Flanagan couldn't even wait to get behind closed doors to start ripping him after that game.

It was like an ongoing hostage situation but you’re not always sure what party was the hostage.

 

[Exsilium]

I'd rank his signing and subsequent performances as mediocre at best.

Free's up some money but its almost November and there isnt a lot of halves talent available but at least its over with now.

Not so much of a hell yeah @This Year? but because its you....HELL YEAH BROTHER

 

[Generalzod]

Can some please confirm Ben Hunt been at St George for 8 seasons? Surely that’s a mistake…

Worked well enough for Brisbane in 2023 and Parramatta in 2022 to make grand finals.
