Now seems like the perfect opportunity to offload Flanno or Wakeham to the Raiders. Surely both of them are ahead of Frawley in ranks?

If nothing else Flanno’s money next year gives us a better chance of picking up a decent halfback?

The max a club would contribute towards Flanagan is minimum wage. That's max, I don't think any club would actually sign him.

We should definitely try and offload Flanno but everyone knows he shit so we would be paying almost his full contract.

Hard to sell Flanagan. The few cameos he's had in first grade for us have been shit.

I think he will go to the UK.

You don't offload halves unless u have a replacement locked in. Letting them go won't help us, just reduce the little depth we have there. There aren't any halves available to replace them with right now

No NRL team will buy Flanno even on minimum wage.

Does anyone know the salary cap rules when a player goes to the ESL?

If they go to another NRL club any wage not picked up by the new club must be worn in freight on the cap of the original team?

Does the same salary cap rules stand if the player goes to the ESL and breaks their contact early?

That's a big loss for Canberra. He was a decent signing for them. Who's their backup? Surely it's not Matt Frawley still..

They were rumoured to have interest in Flanagan a while ago. Maybe Sticky gets desperate. He took Elliott so don't rule out him taking another dud in Flanagan.

If Flanagan is on 350k, if we pay 100-125k of that, then that's a fair deal for both sides.

We thought no one would sign Montoya and he's still starting for the Warriors a year later. Elliott is starting for Canberra. Don't underestimate how desperate clubs get in signing other clubs rejects. Someone will sign Flanagan eventually. It's just a matter of how much of his salary we have to pay to make it happen.

Fogarty will be a Bulldogs hero if we can offload F or W this year.

it will be the best 125k the club has spent in recent years.

Pay it as a (reverse) Transfer Fee, transfer fees aren't included in the Cap.

I think they’ll go with that young half Brad Schneider. He played well in the first trial

Flanno for cotric? Oh wait. That was a bad move to bring him over in the first place.

Doubt flanno would get picked up by an nrl team. Possibly a super league team, but don’t think anyone is as dumb as us.

Barrett is to blame
Here
- takes him off after 6 rounds-like who did we have to step up.
Now he refuses to put him in and nobody wants to buy him

Barrett is the poison here !
