I wouldnt take it all too literally.. I think Flanno is throwing out the burley or the cover fire, while he goes into battle... hes learnt some lessons.

I would suggest he has a priority list of who he wants, but they would need a Plan A, B, C, D.. thats probably more likely what they need to discuss, "what ifs".

Leeds Rhinos and Wigan Warriors stars emerge as NRL transfer targets

Leeds Rhinos half-back Brodie Croft and Wigan Warriors superstar Bevan French are being lined up for a potential return to the NRL, according to reports.

They might of well just listed every half not locked in to a NRL contract
I am sure Flanno will thank the DT for the suggestions and piece of paper put under his Lomax voodoo doll on his desk
I want to know how they got into his office.?

The two SL halves are under contract anyway, so we can forget that. The outcome will be Atkinson for 2026 - unless Cronulla lets him go and why would they - and one of the other two for 2025.

I agree Rev.
Also someone recently mentioned he needs to create a siege mentality and I think this is happening. The only players talking/complaining are the two that have left.
I bet there are pretty edited orders for discussing players movements-recruitment outside the group

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

Flano has also built in performance measures via shorter contracts and or cya

he is drawing a line in the sand that u either perform or it is goodbye

I doubt very much that Flanno or the team are giving any thought whatsoever to Hunt and / or Lomax.

The Sharks are reportedly eyeing former Warriors and Dragons halfback Ronald Volkman as cover should Daniel Atkinson leave the club.

Don't you love the sheer stupidity of the morons who write Fox Sports articles? Now a guy who never played a game for us is described as a "former Dragons halfback" You can't make this crap up.....or actually in this case the clown writing the "article" literally did make it up.........

They are both irrelevant. Hunt is at the back end of his career, and Lomax has his head so far up his own ass thinking he is a centre when he isn’t even a top 20 centre. He will become the second-choice goal kicker to his new best mate, Moses, and he will find out very quickly that he is not as good as he thinks he is. He has probably had people tell him his whole life how good he is & when he hears some hard truths his toys are everywhere much like he did when Griffen dropped him to reserve grade.

Same symptoms as Big Ben

Never even had a registered contract.

I think they just put Saints in to generate clicks

Here we go

 

[BIG RIG]

This club is as useless as anything I have ever seen

 

[qld redvee]

Here we go

How can we continually not close a deal ?? Surely if gutho has done a medical that to me means deal accepted reliant on fitness..not lets go back and haggle
Obviously we need a better system in place getting bloody embarrassing when other teams close deals in minutes we take months

 

[The Word]

Surely it's in our interest to make sure the medical is as comprehensive as possible for this bloke, and if it takes a bit longer to get scan results then so be it. If his camp is sh.tting bricks it's because they're worried about something coming up in the medical which damages their big pay day. Don't let that Weidler idiot wind you up.

 

[mattw5]

We are fkn useless plain & simple!!!

 

[Dragsters]

Just sort it out. It's slower than a wet week....

If you are reffering to the twitter post by Weidler i wouldnt be too concerned.

It doesnt look like theres a line of clubs waiting to sign Gutherson, i dont mind the club doing its due dilligence on this one. We are about to occupy close to 1mil of cap space for the next 3 years to sign Gutho.

A host of players have just come available in the last week. Maybe we could be making a play for another fullback? Kennedy? Papenhuzen?

If Gutho was in hot demand, i would be fuming but that does not seem to be the case. I think this is a ploy from Gutho's management to get the deal done.

The last i heard from a very reliable source is that Gutho was not happy about the commute, this was several weeks ago though.

 

[mattw5]

Should have been done & dusted latest Friday last week. We are just as likely to come out this afternoon with an announcement.
