@Flanagun what are your thoughts around Okenbor?
Seems to get a bad wrap here despite his versatility and NSW cup dominance.
Know what I’m saying?
I think he has endless potential, Fam. We need more big bodies like him. We can’t afford to carry too many skinny forwards like Edwards, Morrin and Preston. Those guys all forgot to have their Weet-Bix.

I think Okunbur could play hooker, he has great ball handling skills, massive engine and great defence. Reed to half and Burton dropped
I still hold out hope we kept the receipt for Mahoney. Damn Parra sold us a defective hooker.

Saint, Sinner, Shoosh: Manly Sea Eagles swoop to snap up Kyle Flanagan

Bulldogs halfback Kyle Flanagan is headed to the Sea Eagles on an immediate deal which will see him link up with his father Shane who is an assistant coach at the club.



The Manly Sea Eagles are on the verge of signing halfback Kyle Flanagan from the Canterbury Bulldogs for the remainder of the season as a back-up for Daly Cherry Evans during Origin.

Bulldogs’ general manager of football Phil Gould has been trying to offload the former Sharks and Roosters halfback to the English Super League.

Instead Manly Sea Eagles coach Anthony Seibold has jumped in to use Flanagan as an insurance policy for 34-year-old Cherry Evans.



It is an important signing for Manly because of concerns around the short term future of five-eighth Josh Schuster.



This means Cooper Johns will be playing five-eighth for at least the next month instead of providing cover for Cherry Evans at halfback.

This is why Seibold has signed Flanagan on a cheap deal in which Bulldogs will contribute.

At this stage it is only for the remainder of the season.

His father Shane Flanagan is Manly’s assistant coach but has played no role in the negotiations.

The 24-year-old Flanagan has played 70 NRL games at the Sharks, Roosters and Bulldogs.



He was dropped from the Bulldogs’ starting line-up this week, replaced by veteran Josh Reynolds for the match against the Dragons.
Obviously the kid wants to remain thereabouts in first grade. He was indirectly shown the door which is why he couldn't be bothered slugging it out in NSW Cup
