WTF, "trapped with the ball", talk about confusing, people whinging about Flanagan not running the ball, then people whinging because he runs the ball and gets tackled. FMD that happens often when you run the ball, when anyone runs the ball.
His kicking was pretty good, aside from the speculator at half time I saw nothing wrong with any of his kicks. He was 1 of 3 kickers, Reynolds, Mahoney and him. When Burton plays he will do pretty much the same amount of kicking with the same amount of distance required.
Game sense wise, FMD (again) he had enough "game sense" to set up the Okunbor try, that wasn't on until he set it up with a spot on cut out pass (they have to be good for Okunbor to catch them). He was the one backing up to receive the late offload from Kiraz that lead to the Averillo break and was also the one backing Averillo up and possibly would have scored if Averillo didn't get ankle tapped. Flanagan also ran the block play (that Mahony dummied to) that drew the defence for the Sutton barge over. For the Thompson knockers it was his fast play the ball that made that play possible.
