News Baz responds to Flanagan ‘exit’: Transfer Whispers

BARRETT SHOOTS DOWN FLANAGAN EXIT RUMOURS

Kyle Flanagan arrived at Belmore as a million-dollar marquee signing for the Canterbury Bulldogs that ushered in the Trent Barrett era at the club.

But the halfback has endured a season that’s been anything but marquee.

Flanagan started the Bulldogs’ opening nine games before he was unceremoniously dropped as a result of a poor showing in the team’s 32-12 loss to the Dragons.

The 22-year-old made his return to first grade in round 16 against Manly at five-eighth, but Barrett’s side was walloped 66-0 by the Sea Eagles.
Flanagan, the son of premiership-winning coach Shane, was again left out of the starting line-up for the Doggies this weekend against the Sharks.
His season has flattered to deceive, with reports emerging from the UK about Canterbury shopping him to Super League clubs.

However, Barrett denied there were any shreds of truth in those.

“I haven’t heard that,” Barrett said.

“Obviously Kyle’s contracted here for two more years, so he’ll be given every opportunity to improve himself as a player and make our team.

“I’m not sure where that one’s come from.”

 

[DublinDogg]

That’s it he’s gone.

 

[B-Train]

More like Flanagan is going to be given every opportunity to find a new club. Baz is doing the right thing by denying everything but it's obvious Flanagan will be shopped around.

 

[Moedogg]

Standard answer from Baz.

 

[COVENS]

He didn't deny shit haha

 

[CaptainJackson]

Poor Kyle, barrets being mean to him

 

[Typical dog]

The poor kid shouts Baz coffees all year and this is how they repay him. Hahaha

 

[Scoooby]

Good.

 

[MariaZ]

I prefer a coach that is upfront and honest but each to their own!

"Kyle Flanagan arrived at belmore as a million dollar marquee signing". Fuck me dead these guys write some shit! Sure, over the course of 3 years he will make a million dollars, but so will at least 80% of players in the NRLol. Does that make them all million dollar marquee signings? Fucking hardly!

Im sure hehas been just that with Flanagan,but there is no onis on him to do the same with the media. What good what that do the team or club?

Behind the scenes, out of the public spotlight, he would've been told. Otherwise how else would he be able to negotiate with ESL clubs for a contract?

 

[CaptainJackson]

@utility half is gonna take you and Baz to task for playing Kyle like a fiddle!

 

[MariaZ]

Im sure hehas been just that with Flanagan,but there is no onis on him to do the same with the media. What good what that do the team or club?

Or maybe he is thinking about himself since he signed him.

 

[Bulldogsforlife23]

Don’t tell me anyone is dumb enough to believe that he’s hiding it he doesn’t want it to the public

 

[Novdoggie]

The normal response from a coach will be he is contracted here for the next two years and he will see out his contract. Barrett's response says nothing to indicate he wants to keep him for that term

 

[GDR]

Pretty sure he responded similarly with questions about DWZ and he was out the door shortly after..

 

[The DoggFather]

I Hope Flopagan has the full support of the board.....

 

[maroondog72]

See ya Kyle let the purge continue

 

[Malla]

We have learnt now that whatever Baz says to the media in regards to player movements its the opposite of what he is saying
