The Rumours Thread

It would be a funny choice. I am sure that Flanno is not willing to drop a pallet of money on young Leo.

In Leo’s case he may well . The man is young and can hold his own against most other forward packs in the competition.

Flanagan requires a top-of-the-line prop that he can build his team around , more so the young forwards coming into the team’s top 30 next season .

Aggression , defense and he goes for the entire 80 minutes , he Flanno must open the purse strings to sign such an individual whether it be Thompson or another young prop whom has gone through his baptism of fire , as it would pay dividends for many years to come .

The Big Red V would finally have a prop whom is 1st class and would only get better as he ages . But as I have said in my earlier post , I cast doubt upon the story that he has signed with the Dragons .

One big benefit iwith Leo is that age-wise he is coming into the sweet spot for modern props, 25-28. Sure there are still older JWH types but they are rare.

I think physically the male specimen is supposed to naturally hit his peak about 29, but it’s pretty hard to gauge players with all their training, injuries and other unnatural forces on their bodies.

What was that analogy? A kind of front-on collision at x mph, several times a game many times a season, over many seasons. And even luck can play a role, an inch here or there could determine your future in the game.

Back in the day, anything under the nose was fair game.

We are a fickle lot. Everyone wants the awesome physicality, but no one likes an injury ( I don’t anyway).

I’ve spoken to a few ex junior players, gave up before the big time on grounds of extreme hatred of blunt force, back and ankle injuries.
