He is also one of the best footy brains in the game, next to DCE.

And footy brains is what our team lacks the most.

He is slowing down, no doubt. But can take a bomb better than any other FB, can dummy half run like Tedesco and one if the better support players in the middle.

If Shane Flanagan is looking at him when he has Sloane already there, then its obvious there are people out there that see what i see.....

Fair points about the footy brain. But like you said he doesn’t have the body to keep up anymore. There’s a reason why Ryles wants to move him out of fullback. You need speed and spark there these days.

Sloan is hot and hold and his defensive game is non existent. So I wouldn’t use that as a benchmark. Besides Shane Flanagan signed his son, so I wouldn’t trust that Shane knows what he’s doing

100%....parra are replacing gutho with the young bloke from Penrith,who has played only couple games in first grade.theyd rather take a punt on a rookie,than keep gutho at fullback.that shows where gutho is in his career.

Remember the time we took hoppa from Parra so they could sign gutho from manly…… that’s when I knew Hasler was cracked haha.

But gutho is finished now. Tracey is the best fullback that we have. Solid speed, relatively safe, good hands when attacking 20 out. And eats up meters for a little guy.

Papa Flanno is probably recruiting players that won't outshine the face biter in spine positions.

We need to make a play for Gutho.
We need better positioning and 1 on 1 defence from our FB than Tracey.

Tracey is sufficient to get us to finals again but we need ro be aiming at top 4 and you can only get there with a top FB.

You dont stumble into top 4 without one.

I like Tracey actually he is good gutho ain’t coming especially for the money he is on like 900k or more now due to his contract
 
Stick with Tracey he has talent good underneath the high ball and can score he is quick and reliable.
If Gutho was to go anywhere maybe manly can take him back and put turbo into the centres so he can actually play a season

In that case we need to get some (coaching) help for him, although i dont think you can coach instincts.

If taffe was there he would be dropped about 100 balls.
Tracey was always a fullback CIRO is a great coach and with GUS players only get better.
I never thought people didn’t like the way he plays I loved to see him play especially under the high ball he can catch.

yes gutho is good but him and Moses ain’t going no where
 
Not sure why anyone would write Joash off, until the kid gets a shot at first grade I still feel he can be our future fullback. The only sample size I've seen yet was the trial game against the storm, yes it wasn't against Melbourne's full first grade side but neither was our side and imo Joash looked every bit an NRL prospect in that game.

Kyle Flanagan is the best 5/8 ………… in his family.
 
This is what happens when they are pushed physically, big difference between Flegg and reserve grade.The meat gets tougher at 22 onwards, seen players from flegg play Ron massey and struggle in open age.

Has Shane got any other kid , if so then I would say that Kyle is not be the best in the family.
Funny how some people hold on to dream no matter what. The Flanagans dream of doing a Cleary's can only turn into a nightmare for the dragons.
BTW if Hunt wants out then you can be sure that it's because he dose'nt want to play long side the gun, just like our Burto.

Yeah 100%.wouldn't be changing Tracey at this stage.hes been awesome and I think he ll get better.
Fuck hoppa.he was useless.i still remember the origin game he played.every single kick return ,he got picked up and carried backwards 5 meters.ive never seen a player get more man handled than he did .he had good hands and zero outside of that.
