Roosters make play for Flanagan

[Kelvin Johnson]

Both Lam and SOS won't be here next year so it is a smart move to chase Kyle Flanagan. I am sure Flanno Snr will be OK with his son learning his trade of Cooper Cronk.

Adrian Lam is trying to organise a short term contract for his son at Wigan for 2019 and to return to the Roosters in 2020.

That's not a bad idea. It'd really help him ease into 1st grade

[Kelby]

Sounds a reasonable plan.
If lammy goes to wigan, sos to the broncos we are skinny.
AND
If we win the grand final, Cronk might pull the pin.

Gees they should have signed Fergo for 3 years - the Guys playing out of his skin - will B Morris/ Ryan Hall match him next year ?

Disagree KJ.
Townsend is very average. Kyle Flanagan is the heir apparent and Shane knows it.
Sharks would be silly to go into the market place and spend big $$ on a replacement half when they've groomed one at a third the market price.

He would probably only do that if we had a good replacement. Maybe the allure of B2B would keep him on?

Kyle Flanagan couldn't tackle my grandmother.

Hahaha! Reminds me of a Sydney Shield game a few years ago, Storey Park, Asquith Magpies vs Burwood Wolves. Burwood #17 is a portly, unfit-looking character but plenty aggressive. Lots of high shots and lots of attitude. "Run at me, you pussy!" he shouts! Anyway, he is soon out of puff. Play moves 50 metres downfield. Where is this loudmouth 17, I wonder? Then, I spot him. Still walking back at snails pace. "Have a run 17", I called out to the amusement of all. Well, he wheels around and all he can muster is "I'll have a run at your mother!" He's about as clever as he is fit. So, knowing Mum was in palliative care at the time (the 17 couldn't have known that but those around me did) I yell back "You'd have to catch her first, you fat c***!". To say that he copped it for the rest of the afternoon is an understatement! Aaah, park footy eh?!

I wouldn’t say Shane would hates the Chooks, he started his coaching career here.

Yes that's true. I was looking at it more from Dad Flanagan thinking it would be best for his son to learn from one of the greats in Cooper Cronk. Most kids at 20 are not wanting to hang around their father 24/7.
Not everyone is obsessed with coaching their son like Ivan.
