Opinion Kylie Flanagan

[GoTheDoggies]

As fans we should all be behind the Gun and wanting him to fire in 2023.

We can't sit around and wait for 2024, we need to lay the foundations of success now. That starts with key players aiming up and contributing to us winning games again.

Whether he gets a new contract or not is completely irrelevant. The culture and connection will only get stronger if we win more than we lose.

 

[Teddybear]

Phuck the gun he is useless

 

[Roger the alien]

The guns not loaded

 

[albatross]

Unless Flanno's recently learnt the art of metamorphosis, he's gone after this year and he'd be stupid not to know it. If he plays well enough at the start to get an offer for '24, surely he'll take it and be gone. I don't dislike him, he's got a bit of ticker, but unfortunately he's got no NRL standard talent.

Wouldn't matter if our gun was loaded or not, it has a warped barrell anyway.

People in here really think that it's okay that our halfback has a crap kicking game? I know we got Burton but what if something happens that requires the 7 to kick more? We are back to 2021 where teams were starting sets on the halfway line the majority of the time.

Swap Mahoney and @Flanagun and you get a 7 that can kick.

Well when Flanagan started out at the Roosters, he must have been doing something right. I don’t know what happened to be let go of that club, but when we picked him up. He was criticised for being not up to standard. I truly think it’s a confidence thing that he needs to work on. I agree he’s not 100% what we want in a halfback, but I have also seen some really good things out of him - like his defence. I have doubted him in the past, with some of his games. But I truly hope it turns around for him. He now has a good leader to hopefully build him up and let him take chances on the field. Prove everyone wrong Flanagan.

I think he has the dedication, fitness

I hope he proves everyone wrong bro but no half should have defence as their strongest attribute. IMO, he has no running game, below average kicking game and a limited passing game. It is difficult to develop all of these aspects of half play. I hope that the quality service of Reed gives Flanagan some extra time to be a serviceable half this year.

Or put Flanno in 8, he would have a fantastic kicking for an 8

 

[Mr 95%]

I hope he goes well..undue pressure and expectations can hinder some players.. He now has a good coach, a good 9..a good 6..and some strong back rowers around him.. So it’s all there for him to make use of..up to him now..

And a halfback who duck waddles.

Are you dirty on Reed because he said you were his least favourite team mate?

I am sure that Burto dosen't think much of him, the way he embraced our so called gun after our few wins last year said it all.
You can bet that Burto was assured that the club would leave no stone unturned to find a decent half before he committed to our club.

Yeah I agree mate! Even from the outside looking in you can tell not many (if any) of the boys like him too much. Not really sure if it’s a personality thing or a “you suck at footy” thing but you can certainly see it.

With all the talk that C C has earmarked Perham for the FB roll for this season anyway, why not start the season with Averillo at half. Avo at least has some ability and was never given a fair go in that position, while our gun is only playing NRL because his dad has inspired him to become a top NRL 1/2 since his nappies days, and he has trained very hard to fuffill his dads dream.
He has managed to show something on the field, and in away I feel sorry for him, but anyone with any knowledge of RL would see that his natural tallant is very limited.

Because the coaching staff, who know a great deal more than you or I, as well as watching them every day, have decided that Flanagan is their first choice.

Flanno was crap at the Chooks and I said that on TK the day the Dogs signed him. Uncle Nick does not lose a player he wants to keep and anyone who knows anything about footy and saw the Chooks play when Flanno was there could tell he was a dud. The Chooks let Flanno go because they had a rookie who had not yet played a first grade game but was a far superior HB.

I agree with everything you said. I was talking about before he got to the roosters. It obviously turned to shit later.
