Avo def FB or nothing.
I just don't see how our bright club signs a young half, touting him as our 7 for the next decade, give him less then half a season and then kerb him?
Shite talent spotting if this unfolds this way and very troubling moving forward, it's a huge fuk up IMO.
I'm guilty of hating the Rorters that much that I can't even stomach to watch their games, that's my excuse. Surely Flanno wasn't this bad with them? Sure they blamed him for the GF but I think they were harsh and pretty thin with that brush.
They had Walker and thought let Flanno go while there's a big demand for halves this year? Some said he was dudded by them as a stop gap measure anyway.
At least no one can say that about us. We only have 1 half coming next year and not Keary to play alongside. They trampled all over Pearce as well.
Its terribly harsh but these players, its great money and hard physical yakka for your trouble, but you have to earn it and it's performance based.
We all realise this club is down the bottom of the pile bc of overpaying and not being tough or professional enough in its dealings with players.
Flanno knew the criticisms of his game. It happened over several weeks as the pressure mounted and the spotlight was firmly on him to offer the team more. He didn't take on the challenge.
Not blaming him solely but this team must be firmly lead. If he can't to that then he is better off at a team who isn't so reliant and has other attacking options.
From his pov, his career could be best served elsewhere.
