Would take it instantly but with caution as Schuster needs abit of effort to get him right for week to week footy. Maybe Fulton can be in his ear and grab him.

Like I said Wakeman is not the one , he is solid reserve grade level that’s it

We're nearly there and are improving, we're starting to dominate games, but waste too much ball in the opposition 20 without points.

Just another version of Moses Suli, could be anything, but is just lazy.

It wouldnt surprise me in the slightest if we get Schuster, Fulton coming over Flanagan Jnr going there. The TT news Benji's love affair with Schuster, Brooks 7 and Schuster 6 isnt the worst but isnt the best either i'd much rather a controlling half but its better than Brooks and Wakham as it is now. At least Schuster can create in the red zone something we really struggle with.

Reminds me of the same 💯
South’s will let 3-4 players go before they let Campbell go , he is chance of coming here
You spelt Chee Kam, Cartwright and Taane Milne wrong....
For what reasoning?
He's clearly Overpaid, Overweight and Lazy.
The world doesn't revolve around him, But he doesn't know that....
If we want to kill the talented kids with no work ethic culture we've been struggling with for a decade,
This is a no, A Massive No.
We have so many talented back rowers through it would be suicide!!
Kid has talent - But he's an egomaniac....
We're too vulnerable for him.
Send him to Bennett or Bellamy....
Flanagan’s Bulldogs future to hinge on potential player swap with Manly
Kyle Flanagan’s immediate future at the Bulldogs could potentially hinge on whether the Sea Eagles would be willing to entertain a player swap to help Cameron Ciraldo’s side overcome a crippling injury toll.
Flanagan, who played his first NSW Cup game of the year at hooker on Sunday, remains in limbo with Manly registering an interest in bringing the 24-year-old to the club, where his father Shane is an assistant to Anthony Seibold.
But sources speaking on the condition of anonymity due to the confidential nature of the talks said the Bulldogs have no immediate desire to release Flanagan.
Yet given their horrendous injury toll, which saw the club ask the NRL for an exemption so Harrison Edwards could start at prop against the Dragons in Wollongong, Canterbury have discussed the prospect of asking Manly for a forward if they eventually released Flanagan.
Cameron Ciraldo’s side is without forwards Viliame Kikau, Luke Thompson, Max King, Franklin Pele and Chris Patolo, who are all long-term absentees. Backs Josh Addo-Carr and Jacob Kiraz have also missed significant time in recent weeks.
The Sea Eagles have already demonstrated a willingness to undertake a player swap this year, bringing in veteran prop Aaron Woods and sending young forwards Viliami Fifita and Alec Tuitavake to St George Illawarra.
Manly’s interest in Flanagan has increased with concerns about Josh Schuster’s fitness, while they’re not expecting captain Daly Cherry-Evans to back up after any of the State of Origin matches.
Flanagan adjusted to his new role at hooker in the NSW Cup with ease, and was used briefly in the position in the NRL a fortnight ago when Reed Mahoney was given a short break.
He’s yet to secure an NRL deal for next year.

Hmmm not doubting Schusters talent but we really need a 7 imo
You’re right, especially given two of the three have played for us before.

Their cap is overflowing, they release three minimum wage players and need to replace them with players on at least minimum wage again. They'd have to release someone of note to sign a decent player
Don't trust Gus at all and if they were in that much trouble with forwards etc why did they let that forward go this week to Eels..
He has some plan going on for another rep player to join them.

They will still need to fill the spots by June 30
Guess that’s why they will do a player swap or something of the like for Kyle.
They have cap room for next year.
