Kyle Flanagan: Journos can't decide which fib to print.

[Brooke]

Close enough......you say potato, I say po-tato....

Every time the commentators say 'Averillo', I think of this song

I do as well. Only the song is Amarillo.

I would not be surprised if it happened.

(They call him) Benji has had a thing for Schuster since the latter’s FG debut in 2020, when he played against him.

Meanwhile Kristie Fulton has an online crack at Josh for among other things, not moving over to the NB from the WS homelands. As an aside, Josh won’t have so far to travel each day, if he switches clubs.

Adding spice to the mix, Josh’s guru Scott Fulton, is heading over to Leichhardt-Concord-Campbelltown (LCC) to work. Could make for some interesting dinner conversations at Fulton family get togethers.

Scott Fulton could persuade Zac to go as well since it doesn't look like he'll be seeing any first grade with Manly anytime soon.

Not sure losing a Josh Starling clone is that big a deal

 

[KNUCKLES]

Isn’t he a beefcake now and more primed for the WWE? Not sure how quick he’s be now anyway.

I seen an interview with him recently and he seems to think he hasn't lost any pace

Can this title be changed to NOT COMING
From SMH today:

One player who won’t be heading to Brookvale is Flanagan. Manly had expressed interest in the Canterbury halfback, who is off contract at the end of the year and currently languishing in reserve grade. The Sea Eagles were only interested in signing Flanagan – whose father, premiership-winning coach Shane, is a member of the club’s brains trust – for the remainder of the 2023 campaign as halves cover.
While there was some appeal in having him on standby for Daly Cherry-Evans during State of Origin duty, or in the case of an injury, the parties weren’t able to agree terms


Seibs is not a fibber.

Interesting.
Presumably Flanagan wanted a longer contact that Manly wasn't prepared to give him.

He can now join the Tigers with Schu as 5/8th.
Next made out of thin air rumour.

 

[ricardo]

Shu/Flaano halves pairing would be great! With Brooks at 9. Elite

But if you believe some other journos no one at the Dogs ( of any significance ) was approached about the "Flanagan deal" and others are reporting that Flanagan didn't even know either.
Then some others are saying the Dogs wanted a swap deal.

So, were any of them right?

It’s a strange one.Rothfield is close to Shane Flanagan and Andrew Webster(journo,not Warriors coach)said he heard the rumour as well,to the point that the Dogs were going to pay some of the freight.Journos are hard to like and they dig their own grave,but I suspect in this instance,at some stage he was very close to joining

 

[Captain Moondog]

Can't say I'm disappointed. He would have been another bog average signing.

 

[JenEagle]

Thank goodness

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Change the title now please

I heard Shane Flanno on 2GB on Mon evening. He said there was some truth to Kyle possibly being linked to Manly.

Thanks for that. I would say ShaneF knows a bit more than the average 2bit journalist grasping at straws. Very interesting to see the profession at work, taking the slightest tidbit of news and turning it into a done deal

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Havent seen any since Toovey was in charge.

2019? Rag tag bunch without turbo 10 min from a preliminary final?

170 mins from premiers

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

We may not have heard the last of it. If the window at Manly remains open and he continues languishing in reserves, Kyle might reassess.

Yep unfortunately we are not safe until June 30 I believe!

This explains why they couldn’t agree terms. They forgot to tell the Dogs and Kyle they wanted to do a deal.
