Kyle Flanagan

[DaBulldog]

At this point if we put him in and his dad comes to coach for us I’m all for it

Who knows, it could be his dad that gets the best out of his son and builds his self belief and confidence.

Baz will pick him next week (if he's still here)

 

[DaBulldog]

Baz has got to take some risks. Panthers will tear our team apart if we don’t. Our defence are going to be exhausted but we need to mix it up a bit. Burton will be heavily targeted and so will Dufty. What other options have we got left???

 

[KiwiDog7]

I guess he gets a shot next week Flanno

Baz sounded like he’s changing the halves again and refused to confirm Wakeham/Burton combination next week

The media have been campaigning for this move since round one but their headline will be


“Desperate Dogs Make 3rd halves change for Panthers game ‘

 

[Dingo]

I'm ready to try Flanno again. Can't do much worse.

Flanagan in demand, but not at the Tigers
The hottest rumour around the NRL late last week was that the Tigers were poised to sack coach Michael Maguire - and replace him with former Sharks coach Shane Flanagan.

I'm hearing that is unlikely to happen, but there is a club in the hunt for Flanagan and son Kyle in a package deal - English Super League outfit Leeds.

Leeds boss Gary Hetherington is currently in Australia searching for a new coach, with Flanagan the favourite.

Ryan Carr, a former Wests Tigers and South Sydney player, currently coaching Parramatta in the NSW Cup, is also in Leeds' sights.

The club is very much in crisis, having won just one of its first eight games.

Is he the worst 7 to ever wear our jersey?

 

[JORDZILLA]

Bro I had hope for him but fuck me useless

 

[Wearnze]

The real question is when was The last time we had a good halfback?

 

[Steve Bos]

How many games has Flanagan had this year? 9 or 10?

He has not fired a shot! Not a single shot. Maybe give him that cut-out pass to Naden on Good Friday as the only shot he has fired! Can anyone think of another shot he has fired in the last 10 weeks?

I don’t include him backing up Dufty for a try last week or Luai dropping his chip kick for TPG to score in Round 5. I want examples of playmaking / shots fired.

Trent Hodkinson? Did his job

 

[GA45]

@Flanagun care to debunk this ?

 

[Wearnze]

That was a while ago…and he was solid without being great…

 

[Freakzilla]

We went 0-6 with Aaron Groom in the team. Though he didn't play 7 in every game.

 

[KiwiDog7]

He stifles everything

I’d rather have fkn Dufty at 7 or JMK it’s that bad

 

[Aristidiz]

Yeah absolute train-wreck, definitely a lost cause at this point. I don't even think he is serviceable as a back-up half anymore.

 

[KiwiDog7]

That was a while ago…and he was solid without being great…

He literally won NSW the series and broke the Maroons dynasty

 

[UndeadShadowMan]

he never gets try assists & that's the halfback's job maybe a career in a bank would suit him more

 

[Freakzilla]

Trent Hodkinson? Did his job

Trent Hodkinson was a top 8 NRL halfback. He was better than Chad Townsead is today and look at the difference he has made to the Cowboys.

Makes KK look like Cleary
