In regard to Flannery I can't get a proper update till next Monday but as far as I know he has just recently bought a property in the Eastern Suburbs and is very happy at the Roosters.
He was signed when he was 15 or 16 to a long term contract believed to be about 8 or 10 years (I'll get confirmation on that).
His preference first and foremost is to stay at the Roosters and his preferred position is 5/8. I thinks he was banking on taking Fitlers spot after he retired and even though he hasn't got his shot yet is keen to bide his time at the Roosters.
This all may well have changed in the past couple of weeks because as we all know money talks- I'll let you guys know on Monday.
