Opinion Flanagan cannot be no 7 in 2023

[SPEARTAKVIDREFS]

Yes. He is parr's second kicker basically, Dylan Brown doesn't kick much at all. Reed has a number of 40/20's

Well thats good to hear. I suppose I should pay more attension but watching Parra kinda sucks arse.

 

[sifter6]

Worse than Peter wheeler, lee pomfret ??

Lee Pomfret was an excellent Fullback - if Brentnall wasn't ahead of him in First Grade he could have kicked on for us, but left for the Red & Whites.
Peter Wheeler was much better than Flanagan.

Trust me I agree, but my cousin goes for them so I'm subjected to Parra and their bald coach every week!

 

[kmr07]

Want me to get the video of the last time he was in. a GF? At least the Cowboys love him I guess lol! Bloke is okay but he's never been a million dollar halfback?

Relax a bit… every player makes errors. He has played for his country and has played for his state so he is more than just “okay”

He is not a million bucks halfback okay and his best games for QLD were at hooker. I’d have no issue discussing him as a hooker actually

Pomfet would have kicked on if he was any good

Dragons apparently lowballing Hunt with a 700k offer (according to Danny Weidler), Gus said tonight on 100% footy that the Dragons won't be able to keep him for that, Gus said he heard Hunt was looking for 850-875k. Bracey made a joke in regards to Gus signing him and Gus said we have plenty of money in the cap for 2024 baby (wasn't directly answering the question, was more of a general statement, you know what Gus is like when answering questions).

He will be 34 when he plays his first game for us if he would join us for 2024. Too old. Would rather Mitchell Moses who has a PO for 2024 and would be a great combination with Burto.

Moses a lot less likely to get (even less likely than someone like Munster imo). Cooper Cronk played until he was 36/37 (not 100% sure). DCE is contracted until he's 36. We don't have many options but we need to somehow get an elite/high quality halfback.

We need a ball running , organising half. And a fullback who can read the game.

He’s getting on in age Ben hunt.. don’t see Sullivan leaving if they don’t come to a deal

 

[Dogtime]

We will go nowhere if we dont replace him... we need a new 7

Many here have no idea. Flanagan has a voice and he's calling the game OK. He's performing as good as about half the halfbacks in the comp. He's not elite. Neither is Burton an elite 5/8th. Nor Averillo an elite FB. There just aren't enough elite spine players to go around. All the same, since we aren't getting his father to coach us Flanno will probably be traded, perhaps early.
Personally I'd go for Hastings.
Three elite halfbacks changed clubs end of last season, and their new Clubs are atop the ladder.....Hynes, Townsend and Reynolds.
There will be a few teams gunning for the next elite HB to hit the market. What in the meantime do we do with Burton? We were sold a blue sky promise there, who just hasn't found his feet at 5/8th yet, and possibly never will.

All Flanno needs to do is attack the line directly and demand the ball more at first receiver. His short kicking game is adequate and his defense is too. With a decent 9 next year Flanno will look better.And better still with a competent fullback

I’d rather sign close to every half in the comp over Moses. An inch of pressure and the bloke goes to water. Biggest flat track half in the comp. Waste of money

Maybe we get him for $750k in the Cap + $200k Third Party Agreements...... IMO that's a bargain for an Origin Class Player.

Going of the way Gus spoke last night, I'm sure he will have a go at him as Gus know how scarce top quality half backs are & especially experienced ones.

 

[wendog33]

Reynolds, Townsend, Hynes.

It makes you cry.

Gus said we'd develop within
This 7 problem was not rectifield.
It's probably Gus' biggest challenge/failure since he started July? 2021.

I know he'll be on to it now but it has been a def missed opportunity with those 3 above being snapped up by Broncs, Cows and Sharks.

Just saw that Dragons have lowballed Ben Hunt. It’s time for Gus to swoop!

If not Hunt for 24 then who?

700k for a 34 year old is not low balling at all
