Shane Flanagan could take over as Canterbury coach, with son Kyle joining the Roosters

Coach Shane Flanagan to the Bulldogs and his son Kyle to the Roosters.

Those are the dramatic developments happening within the Flanagan family as the pair looks set to find new homes in the NRL.

The Sunday Telegraph can reveal Sharks halfback Kyle is likely to be joining the Roosters before the June 30 transfer deadline because he is about to lose his first-grade position to superstar Shaun Johnson, who is returning from injury.

Flanagan would fill in for Luke Keary at the Roosters and then get an opportunity to learn under the experienced Cooper Cronk for the remainder of the season.

Meanwhile, his dad, Cronulla’s 2016 premiership-winning coach, is being sounded out at Belmore.

The Bulldogs insist coach Dean Pay’s immediate future is secure but refuse to rule out Flanagan as the long-term successor.

Flanagan is serving an indefinite NRL ban but is likely to be cleared next year for a return in 2021 when Pay will have completed his contract.

Flanagan has already been approached by an influential Canterbury board member, although this will probably be denied because no one wants to upset Pay.

The Bulldogs believe Flanagan is the man to rebuild a club that has been struggling under enormous salary cap pressure since Des Hasler left.

The Dogs would have to approach the NRL to get a clearance for Flanagan to resume coaching.

He was banned indefinitely for being caught communicating with the Sharks while under suspension in 2014 and for his role in the club’s salary cap scandal.

The only worrying thing about the whole write up is the fact Pay May be here till the end of 2020 ! I stopped reading there :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:
What if he does come next year and nrl clear him .... hmmmmm maybe pay was extended just to keep him here and shift him to assistant coach?

Flanagan can only come to the Dogs if he brings Kyle, Bronson and Jayden, otherwise he can stay on the piss at Engadine Hotel

Here we go... The guy hasn't even been told when he'll be allowed to coach again. This sounds like some made up bullshit...

If Kyle ends up at the Roosters that would be hilarious. Of course they'd have cap space without having to release anyone to sign one of the best young halves in the comp as a 6 week fill in...

Absolutely can't stand the guy and the baggage he has is massive, then again I really can't stand anyone connected to the Sharks.

I can see Kyle going to the Roosters, the timing makes sense and he'll get decent coin and a guaranteed opportunity next year. His old man will obviously want what's best for his son regardless of where he ends up in the future himself, right at the moment Shane is no guarantee to coach again.

Drug cheat and a leader of yobbo culture. Fuck Flanagan, I would rather draw straws with fellow Kennel users to pick a coach than that prick.
P.S Dear Phil, Fuck off.
