Tigers sign Another English Backrower...Mark Flanagan

[softlaw]

there's no such thing as a reliable source in rugby league 'journalism' as far as I can see but it certainly makes for a promising rumour :slight_smile:

Tim Sheens said…"We have done our homework on the kid, and the mail is very good......He has good versatility-he can play half,5/8, hooker as well as back row"

But can he play prop?!

We're pretty covered in the positions he can play.

Hey Alex, that's exactly what I was thinking when I read that quote…..Sheen's enternal fascination with ball playing backrowers continue.
What does our coach have against Props!!!!! :frowning:

Have been thinking about this for ages….What does Tim have against PROPS.....Maybe cause he was an average one in his day and doesn't see any value in them at ...... 😕

Damn, I think I just wrecked my keyboard. All this talk about Burgess close to joining us has me salivating - literally.

How good is this Guy Burgess??…Gee he appears to have alot of wraps on him.... :question:

 

[Chipofftheoldblock]

Alexaki- Burgess was playing prop at the age of 17 in Super league and represented GB at 19\. He is only 21 and has the world at his feet.
Between Burgess and James Graham (St Helens), these 2 are the best young props playing atm.

So Pommy Mick…..you saying for fact that Mark Flanagan has signed on the dotted line for 2 years, with the Wests Tigers....YES?

And that ,the one and only,Sam Burgess, is going to sign with the West Tigers for the 2010 season, or is he just coming for a holiday to sunny Australia.

Please confirm , as this Parramatta game tonight as already got me hot & sweaty...not a good look :blush:

from what i believe i think the deal with sam is a couple of your older guys will be on there way to bradford plus some cash

 

[RatedRKO]

You guys are wayyyy too trusting.

No offence to 'pommy mick', but ill believe it when i see it.

not bullsh@@ing you mate wouldnt do that .

 

[Spank]

Pommy Mick if your on the money you have just made an unbearable off season with no footy bearable knowing they are coming to the Tigers lol

 

[softlaw]

Also no offence meant to Pommy Mick but this sounds far too good for our recruiting staff to have pulled off.
Geeze I hope you're right though PM!! That would be fantastic!

Swapping for a couple of older guys sounds interesting too. You'd assume Todd Payten would be one. Galea possibly the other one or even Payne. Those 2 are not contracted to us but we would be the organising agent.

I've almost got myself convinced :slight_smile:
