Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Genuine question I don't rate Flanagan nor do many people on here or at a few other clubs. But he's been killing it in reggies, so the question is, is he any better than Wakeham? ie would people consider Flanagan as a direct swap for Wakeham?
Perhaps then we could go for a Sanders and give him a year to develop further, with Flanagan as a stop gap for a year IF we can't get anyone better who is more experienced.
All this is assuming we have Fainu done and he will be our 6 next year so we can't have two inexperienced halves paired together next season.

Not the question mate, it was is Flanagan better than Wakeham? I wasn't clamoring for us to sign him.
Who would you go after that is attainable to replace our much maligned former halfback, or are you about to start supporting Manly?

we could have paid what another 100k or 150k a year for a further 2 years and probably kept Brooks

instead we may get Fainu (terrific if we do and a good decision to let Brooks go)

if we dont, and we have to settle for Clune or wakeham or flannigan etc it was a stupid decision

he is better than wakeham but not as good as Brooks.
if we land fainu then great move if not and we end up with flannigan or wakeham then stupid move considering Brooks and Sheens wanted him

Lol and that justifies 11 years of being our highest paid player, our number 7 and never playing a finals game. Are you a tigers supporter or a brooks supporter ?

tigers all the way, just that plenty of supporters thought he was not even going to get another nrl gig... wrong
stupid move if we don't have a better replacement that's all

Yes, Flanagan is better than Wakeham.. strangely Wakeham seems to have lost 10 yards of pace since his debut for us this year.. truly, he looks like he is running on 1 leg or has weights in his shorts … also, Moses Mbye must be “mentoring “ him as he now just runs sideways looking for support to throw hospital passes AT .. he used to straighten it up, but within 4 rounds in first grade he has totally changed his game… I even think 🤔 he is worried he may be fined if he is tackled with the ball or goes through the defensive line ?

So how long do u all think it will take to find out if we get the two boys from manly . I am going for 12 weeks and then we fine out they have signed somewhere else . So put ur time line in and a yes or a no if we get them . Let’s have a little fun before we all start crying about another one that got away 🤪

That's all i was asking, we are scraping the bottom of the barrel everyone has rejected us. Brooks was always gone imo he's been agitating for 18 months and the first offer he got that he was able to accept he was off. I get the feeling everyone bar Sheens and Benji read the room in that regard.
I wouldnt be surprised if all else fails we end up with both Flanagan and Wakeham, but im hoping they pull out a Trindall or maybe someone like Lam from England.
We seemingly didnt even try for Sexton because we're looking for someone more experienced.

sezer or Schneider I reckon we will end up with
As for Brooks Sheens and Marshall must be the only coaches in the nrl who are not allowed to sign a player they both wanted...
hope Fulton lands fainu or we are in trouble
