Flanagan can come good, he is only young and has only played 32 first grade games. with avo's steady improvement i think he can return and play well
the pressure of the loses got to him a bit but first game against the knights he played well
think they said he had a rib cartilage injury but he could have played with an injection so not sure why he isnt playing mounties, he might be named late once team list is culled to play mountiesThat was by far his best game (probably his only "good" game so far here) but I think Averillo has shown him up a bit in regards to how to play halfback and what Barrett wants (Averillo isn't even a halfback, he's a running five-eighth). He's on too much in the salary cap to not get another go so I'm sure he'll get another go eventually. Since Flanagan is only an "organiser" and is more suited to being a traditional halfback playstyle wise we can't even play him as a 6 (five-eighth) because he doesn't have a running game or creativity (won't offer anything). I think it's a little strange he's not getting a run in NSW cup, is he injured?
He hasn’t taken the line on in his whole career and until he does his game won’t improve. He’s too one dimensional at the minute and without a running game to take pressure off himself he’s a sitting duck.could also be a reason why he didnt take it to line as much in later games?
Yes his name is Shaun JohnsonWe'll see a different Flanno when Burton joins.
And the best comment goes to… YOU SIR.!!Yes his name is Shaun Johnson
Not only JRL but junior cricket as well. I remember a father umpiring from the end his son was bowling at. Took 70 wickets most seasons with over half of them LBW's.I hope we never see that fraud in our jersey ever again.
Typical coaches son, just there because of daddy. See it all the time in JRL.
You are spot on - out perform,out enthuse those in the position you want - hard to do if you don't play - but the bar is low - earn it!Second chances should be earned.. what has he done to earn another opportunity.. hasn't even played reggie's ffs.. we don't need snowflakes in our squad we are soft enough already..
