Are you seriously suggesting we go into negotiations for Moses and finish up with Flanagan? 😲

Not really. Just saying what are our options should we miss out on MM

Kyle does remind me of Brooks though, ability but confidence driven player.
He was looking good till the Roosters shafted him and he hasn’t been the same since.
Form is temporary only, just remember that.

Just seems to be history repeating with the delay and back and forth from him and his uncle. If he really wanted to come would constantly topping the offer up make any diffrence, he either wants to be a Tiger or doesn't. Even if he does come across, he is the biggest diva in the game.

He’s been off contract/free to negotiate for 6 weeks, and most of that time he’s been on holidays. It’s hardly been a drawn out back and forth.
 
Gee,

For a while there with all the signing hopes I was dreaming semis next year.

Been to quiet so I hope things haven't fell through.

What does this have to do with NRL or Wests Tigers?

Is there an NRLW thread this can go into?
 
Gus did say that the leading up to Christmas should be exciting for the bulldogs fans.. so they got him?
 
Wow.

MM to then Flanno - geez talk about getting a clubs rejects whilst they beat us to the primary target.

Flanno game style isn't suited to Sheens/Benji style. He is basically a Hastings model but smaller & takes the line on alot less. He isn't an attacking minded half.

- Flanno isn't a setup/controller, he needs structure setup for him to then benefit from things.
- He isn't a runner of the ball. He isn't an organiser and is more of a link man which in Sheens mould doesn't work, Sheens wants his halves to take the line on & play what's infront of them.
- If we look at basic stats over 60+ games he is a 35% try assist & 30% Line Drop merchant per game which is less than Brooks by a gap and he touches the ball more than Brooks per game. His effectiveness rating in an attacking style isn't high.
- His upside is in defence where he has 50% less misses than Brooks despite his attempts being similar over last 3yrs.

Honestly if we are looking at Flanno it should only be as a backup low cost option which I couldn't see happening. We would be better off keeping Brooks/AD as our halves options.
