Negotiations update

[bradtalo]

Sounds like Kyle Flanagan is virtually a done deal for us. Roosters are also going to contribute 100K a season for the rest of his contract. Unsure exactly what he's on but he has incentives in his current contract (ie: if he plays a certain amount of NRL games)

Laundrys (Arthur and Craig) are still in deep discussion with the mother / family of Matt Burton (further talks planned for next week) but unlikely to come to us until 2022.

Harry Grant still interested in us (but only if C Smith plays on so he leaves the Storm). Club still might go for B.Smith if he decides to leave the Storm. Grant is contracted until end of 2022 I believe.

We baulked at JAC's asking price apparently so we're not in the game for him unfortunately.

Sounding more likely Craig Laundy will run for the board in 2022 as an independent.

Where’s this coming from?

Good work bro, keep that ear close to the ground, and your fingers on the keyboard.

His info is bang on. He gave info last week or the week before and everything he said happened, literally everything lol.

I guess I’ll back it then

I can see Cameron Smith leaving his decision to last minute to screw everyone’s plans/decision making.

If we were able to assemble this team for 2021/2022 that'd be fire. That's practically a 10 year spine. It's all going to come down to whether we can secure one of those two hookers for me. We will have some cash when we move Napa and DWZ on. Hopoate and Jackson ageing too. Some decent kids coming through with Topine, Schoupp and Seumanutafa to name a few. Also hopefully some more under that.

 

[B-Train]

That all sounds very promising. Hopefully some of those pan out. Thanks for passing on the info.

Well I didn't in his first post, and then likentwo days later it all happened lol.

Flanagan is reportedly on $280k at Easts. If they are paying $100k of that for 2021 then it is crazy business not to pick him up.

It's possibly something to do with the bonuses. I think we'd be more than happy to pick him up for 300k.

Cheers mate. Much appreciated.

Hope your right bro

Absolutely superb deal getting Rorters to contribute to Flanagan coming here. He won't be a world beater straight away, but is a massive step up on what we've already got. Will be interesting seeing what happens with Green.

If we were in the hunt for Staines and JAC then clearly we're still looking for a fullback. Any ideas on who else is out there?

Nice seeing the dogs being patient. Expect us to pick up a few more but hooker is the big signing we need to make

But if we're in for both Flanagan and Burton you'd have to assume Averillo would be developing into a fullback? Otherwise we're going to lose him as he's not really going to get a chance here.

 

[Lukejms15]

Our fans are forgetting that we are a history club, people out there want to play for the badge, don’t forget how big of a club we used to be and still are

 

[MIR-PROD]

Where has the $280K figure for Flanagan come from? Haha i swear some random will throw a number out and everyone runs with it
