Am I missing something? Kyle is contracted till the end of 2021 (https://www.sharks.com.au/news/2018/12/04/kyle-flanagan-extends-at-the-sharks/)
How can the Rorters even approach him with 2.5 years still to go, let alone why would we even consider letting him go. In 2021 Johnson will be 33, Chad around 30 - surely the club couldn't be stupid enough to let their ready made replacement walk out the door?!?

They can approach him because they are the roosters.

Simple as that.

1 rule for most clubs, different for the specials.

and then we go straight to the NRL. They can approach him all they like - he has a contract for the next two and a half years - they can't sign him now unless we release him. And I say again, why would we be that stupid, even by Sharks standards? I call BS on Buzz.
 

Frenzy.

You are all missing the point. Who says the Roosters are approaching?

I say he is asking. It’s been on since Pissflap Snr was sacked.

Robinson would have been free to talk to him before he signed with Sharks, which he did before Dad was arseholed.

So he knows the interest is there. It’s then simple. Dear Manager, they can’t approach me but you can talk to them.

Betcha anything it’s above board

It was sarcastic Matt.

I have absolutely no inside knowledge but I'd be surprised if young Flange would be that interested in leaving his mates that are all in the process of living their dream of playing Nrl together. Kyle seems a pretty grounded kid too tbh...Quiet news weekend for Buzz...

This the type of article you get when your information is delivered to you in a men’s toilet at Central station.
Buzz been back at the glory hole again? Guessing it wasn't a coincidence that Hoops was seen lurking around Eddy Ave too...

This story can EAD.

So can the rorts who are el desperado.
Superstar cronks being found out.
I seriously couldve shovelled the ball to slater at the Storm.

Latrell, Keary and teddy got that team the cup last year.
Without Keary they cant make a dent.

So you can eat one too coop.

As if we would help out these dicks. Theyre on their knees...keep them there.

And what if SJ or chad go down injured. Do we get flanno back?

We are all missing the point. A swap is on . The question is who will we pick from the Roosters side. Do any of us here really think Kyle is going to wait two bloody years?

Well, that is the only way I can see it happening. But I don't see what swap could work.

We would have to offer them Kyle's rookie money due to a tight cap, and the only players we really could use are one of their surplus wingers (B Moz? Bringing the brothers together?) who would surely want better than that, though I guess we could get a deal with freight thrown in (cause the Roosters have plenty of spare cap space for doing that sort of thing....).

Not sure why the Roosters or Kyle would want that so badly this year, with him no more likely to play in the top grade with them than with us, unless there is more to Keary's injury than they are letting on.

The other reason it would be a bad idea is if the Roosters are that desperate for a half for unknown reasons, then why in the hell would we help them this year when they are one of our main threats?

Or is this all talk aimed at getting us to decide firmly on Johnson or Flanagan for next year so the Roosters can pinch a replacement in 2020 for Cronk? Are the Roosters playing us to build their 2020 squad?

Old beetroot head Buzz has been doing OK with his “scoops” actually.

Roberts to Souths was called by him very early. Nikorima to Warriors. DWZ having the shits and wanting out.

Can’t stand him but he is going well with his mail.

The weird thing about all This is that Flange snr signed the lad for 3 years plus he signed SJ for 3.
His plan was to move Chad on?? Or maybe he didn't think FJ was going to be ready to be a permanent first grader.
There is no way I'd be letting him go before June 30. No way.
I'd even be reluctant to let him go for next year.
Blame his dad...

Interesting to see how far Ash Taylor has fallen down the list dropped at Titans, and Roosters dont want him, the next big thing he was.

If we could get Aubusson from Roosters for couple of years, thats if we lose Capewell i could handle that

Buzz hinting that Kyle has a get out of jail free card from his dad getting moved on. If that is the case, I guess no swap needed, all the Roosters have to do is offer some mullah and we probably can't match it.

The "promise" of more first grade is then a bonus. Hope it isn't true. Or his desire to play with Nikora, Williams, Brailey (and Brailey?) et al is strong...
