News The Mole: Father's ploy to lure disgruntled Bulldogs playmaker Kyle Flanagan to rival club

[Brendan7]

I'll pay you to take the spud Manly

 

[gbrussell]

Not the first time you have mentioned nepotism in junior cricket!

let me take a wild guess - Georges River junior association!

Yes that’s correct Michael. Play there until i was 25 and then went to the Bankstown Association. Both as bad as each other. Some fathers just should not get involved in their kids sport.

 

[GrogDog]

Meh, off contract next year..who cares where he goes!

Would be nice to send a dud back Manly's way though. Ohh Harper lol

Define parody but there's still a few to clean out. When/if that happens will be the first time for 10 years that we haven't carried several dead weight.

In NRL terms, a parody is a person who does a good job of impersonating an NRL player.

The only people I would keep who are off contract this year are Hughes, Avo, and maybe Casey. The rest can go.

"Playmaker" yep there is truth in publishing ...not.....I was a defender of his but not anymore. Maybe will put in a good kick now and again and tackle but playmaker...play stopper more like it....

For a bloke who wanted to stand on his own two feet...following Daddy to Manly so he can once again be molly coddled...good move..

Yes, I played in that association myself - I have a few stories of my own!!!!

Think he will be great player in time we don't have the time. We need to keep Trotting good luck to him and his dad wish them both best of luck, now lets trot

Mmm…..not so sure. He strikes me as a similar pedigree to Mbye. Looked good in juniors, a lot of promise & secured initial contracts, based on this perceived promise.
However never quite delivered & spends his NRL life in a sort of transfer room limbo.
Also a bit like Brodie Croft, I think Flanno will look pretty good (a “great player”) if he grabs a contract in ESL. That’s his future imo. Accept it Shane…..

This story is a contender for the biggest fake news of 2023

OFF CONTRACT 2023
Jake Averillo, Fa'amanu Brown, Braidon Burns, Declan Casey, Brandon Clarke, Kyle Flanagan, Samuel Hughes, Joseph O'Neill, Jayden Okunbor, Chris Patolo, Malachi Retchford, Josh Reynolds, Luke Thompson, Judda Turahui, Corey Waddell

Only retaining 3 Lord?

Jake Averillo, Fa'amanu Brown, Braidon Burns, Declan Casey, Brandon Clarke*, Kyle Flanagan, Samuel Hughes, Joseph O'Neill*, Jayden Okunbor, Chris Patolo, Malachi Retchford*, Josh Reynolds, Luke Thompson, Judda Turahui*, Corey Waddell

The ones I have put in asterix are the guys I don't know much about. Are these any good?

I might keep Thommo and Patalo on one year deals max, but I wouldn't lose sleep if we lost them as they spend a lot of time on the sidelines rather than on the field.

Retchford & Turahui were both released about this time last year. O'Neill is on a development contract, the rest top30.

You're keeping Casey?

He'll finish his career with the only honour being the worst debut ever. Three dropped balls then knocked out cold. Just cannot beat that.

Threats are for those with nothing to back it up

Even a maybe is a piss take.

Mmm… not many half backs around with actual first grade experience like his…as he ages he will naturally fill out and grow in confidence… Don’t really give a fuck how he strikes u pun intended. He is not what we need but dosnt need the shit he’s coping here.
