NRL news, The Mole | Kyle Flanagan Cronulla Sharks, Jakob Arthur Parramatta Eels future

amp.nine.com.au

Don't be surprised if out-of-favour Bulldogs playmaker Kyle Flanagan ends up back were it all began for him - at Cronulla - in 2022.

Dumped by the Roosters last season, Flanagan has already been axed by Bulldogs coach Trent Barrett, who has set his sights on Broncos youngster Tyson Gamble for next season.

If Gamble does join the Bulldogs, there is simply no point in Flanagan staying.

And the Sharks are desperate for a playmaker, with Chad Townsend moving to the Cowboys and Shaun Johnson, Matt Moylan and Braydon Trindall all off contract and likely to leave.

Flanagan worked with incoming Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon at the Roosters last year and is still held in high regard in the Shire.

GUN FORWARD MAY LEAVE DOGHOUSE
Rampaging forward Renouf Atoni may be lost to the Bulldogs next season - because he is sick of losing.

Atoni has looked good in a struggling Canterbury side this year and he is in the sights of at least three clubs - the Sharks, Dragons and Cowboys.

The 25-year-old Kiwi-born prop is happy enough at the Bulldogs, who are keen to re-sign him.

But Atoni has won just 11 of the 39 games he has played - and the lure of that winning feeling may see him pack his bags and leave in 2022.

Yes and give us Shaun Johnson

 

[Haza]

Cronulla won’t be that stupid to take him back.

 

[Baseball Furies]

Gamble is not what we need, he lacks finesse and is all energy - ala J.Reynolds.

 

[Moedogg]

Mole may as well be a poster on TK. Absolutely nothing in that story... just giving us his opinion albeit a dumb one..


"If Gamble does join the Bulldogs, there is simply no point in Flanagan staying"

Why not Mole? Doesn't he have a contract? Can't he fight it out with Gamble, Avo for a spot?

Having said that, I hope Flanagan goes back to the sharks but No to gamble who is average, even as a backup.

 

[Malla]

Oh yes please lol I did not realize he was going to cost us 450k next year.

Get rid of him

Well I think if he chooses to leave instead of fighting for a spot, that kinda typifies who he is and why he might never be a good first grader. Not always going to go your way, sometimes you need to work hard and earn your spot.

I hope Gamble isn't on the clubs radar. He's not a FG calibre half.

Renouf needs to be re-signed. Losing him when we desperately need forwards wouldn't make sense.

He might be okay as a utility, could probably cover a number of positions. Rather Topine in that role if he isn't starting though. Gamble as a genuine starting half is lol and I'd probably need some time away from the club if that happened.

Mole just dribbles on....says Renouf might leave because he's sick of losing, names other loser clubs as options for him, then claims Renouf is happy at the club and they want to re-sign him lol.

Yeah, ridiculous if true, Gamble is rubbish, would be a sideways or backwards move, if we are looking at offloading Flanagan I hope we are looking at someone better than Gamble

 

[dekepefc]

If you were sick of losing why would you join dragons, sharks or cowboys.... sure theyve won more than us this year, but not many.. and we will improve a fair bit next year

 

[Mattreneeandgus]

What’s happening with Widdop?
He wanted to come back, might be a good buy?

 

[Moedogg]

We really need some quality depth in the halves. Last time we had that was when Thurston was coming off the bench.

 

[EzyB]

Since when has dropping a player for underperforming is a big deal?
How many articles has there been about Flanagan been dropped.
Get over it media scum he got dropped for being shit.

 

[Papa Joe]

I can't imagine Kyle's father wanting him back at the Sharks.
I don't believe Shane's separation from the club was all that rosie.

 

[cookieman909]

If the club wanted to get rid of Flanagan why did we not go hard for Reynolds. Stupid.

 

[Isaac]

Flanno won't be going anywhere.
He will be back. Needs to fix a few things.
Burton and flanno will be great together.

[gee333]

The Moles strike rate is not credible and he seems to only ever talk shit about the dogs.

Because Kyle can't handle being dropped.

 

[EzyB]

It’s not Kyle writing all this shit.
