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

[Seagles68]

Just got home from the game and saw this thread and thought April 1 had returned. Geeez, it was bad enough sitting through that game. I'm not buying it - it has to be BS. We don't need another half and certainly not Flannagan. We're ordinary at times but we're not stupid enough to throw away money on below par players for positions we don't need.

 

[bob dylan]

Remind me how his demise went down?

Actually, don't.

Do the initials R.D.B. help.

Clue R = Results.

It will happen just #next week.

It just makes no sense.

It just makes no sense.

What's the bet the club make a decision to move Shoe to centre. Seibs will saying the recruitment of kyle has achieved the result of adding depth to both outside backs and halves as a result.

Manly legend Geoff Toovey is returning home to Brookvale after an eight-year absence.
The former coach and champion halfback has agreed to take on a senior role with the football club as coaching director of Harold Matthews, SG Ball and Jersey Flegg.
He will also assist with the mentoring of some of the younger NRL stars.
The likes of struggling five-eighth Josh Schuster would benefit enormously from Toovey’s guidance.
“Tooves has got so much to offer us,” Manly chief executive Tony Mestrov said.

Manly Sea Eagles legend Geoff Toovey is coming home to Brookvale.
“Everyone is so happy to have him back; the players and all the staff.
“The members and fans will love it, too. He is so popular and so respected.
“The junior reps program is such an important part of an NRL club.
“Tooves will oversee the coaching of our best juniors to ensure they are ready for NRL when their time comes.”

Toovey is arguably the Sea Eagles’ most popular player of all time.
He played 286 games for Manly and Northern Eagles.
He coached the club between 2012 and 2015 for a 58 per cent win record before leaving in emotional circumstances.

Geoff Toovey is arguably the Sea Eagles’ most popular player of all time.
Toovey’s departure – when he was sacked and replaced by Trent Barrett in 2016 – became one of the most bitter upheavals in the club’s history.
He has previously rejected opportunities to return to the club, instead working for Warringah Rats rugby union club and in an assistant role with the NSW women’s State of Origin side.
He was also on the coaching staff of the Samoan team that made the final of the World Cup.

​

Toovey now believes the time is right to return to Brookvale.
He is impressed at the way the club is run under Mestrov and head coach Anthony Seibold.

He may respond well to his dads coaching.

Isn't Flanno also our attacking coach? There's no way he's son will improve with us or anyone. We need a game manager and he was playing for the other team tonight.

Finally. Bring back the prince.

If Flanagan replaces Johns I'm totally fine with it. Johns has been a complete dud.

 

[Thewestisbest]

So we will have three players taking up deadwood spots in our squad then. Cooper Johns, Aaron Woods, and Latu Fainu who is too young to play first grade this year. Very poor squad management.

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

Tooves coming back: here is some proper good news. If anyone can put toughness, heart, pride and work ethic into our guys it is that man.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Geez why!? That kids got a head only a mother could love.

Which one, Flanagan or Schuster?

 

[wombatgc]

Gould must be pissing himself laughing….first Trenty and now Flog Flanagan.

His father Shane Flanagan is Manly’s assistant coach but has played no role in the negotiations.

Farkin Bullshiit.

 

[Jerry1]

I’d take Foz over him. Wonder what they would be paying him.

 

[wombatgc]

I am a desperate shell of a man looking for hope where ever i can find it

[Deleted member 26876]

Bad decision if true, invest in the youth, too many average footballers in the squad as it is.

First strike against Seibold if correct and poorly influenced by nepotism.

the first strike? I must be quite the cynic

Quote from Philo:

“He has previously rejected opportunities to return to the club, instead working for Warringah Rats rugby union club and in an assistant role with the NSW women’s State of Origin side.”

What opportunities? When?

And what is RDB Penn’s take on all this? Mind you, he did take Des back…for awhile.
