Latrell 0% chance of being at the club in 2021

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

We can't help 2021 onwards, but we sure can help 2020.
We need to keep him away from other clubs, especially one in particular, until we get our team sorted out post-Cronk.

I cannot disagree with that. Maybe it will buy us and Latrell more time to sort things out. It might a be a test to see if Latrell really does love the Roosters, as Boyd and others have suggested or implied recently, or otherwise.

Nah, just a passenger who bought a ticket on the wrong bus.
Bought a ticket on the LM bus instead of the ITWT bus.

Time to take the bus back to Redfern champ

If he goes to Souffs, I'd want Doueihi in return.
kid can play and is tough and solves our halves problem and back-up fb.
He's better than Hutch and the others are too young atm.
He'd be on F***all $ at the rabble.

Theres no problem as long as Keary is playing.
No Keary, big problem.

You seem to be almost as full on for Souths as you do Easts.

Do you think they have big problems if Reynolds is out?

Hutch is reserve grade at best - he can fill in if we are short but from what I saw of Flanagan last year when the sharks had injuries all over the place and managed really well with him calling the shots with chad he is miles ahead of Hutch.

Flanagan said some good things in an interview yesterday:

"My goal is to stay at the Roosters as long as I can and cement myself as a first-grade halfback.

If the pressures of replacing champion halfback Cooper Cronk were enough to unsettle Flanagan's nerves leading into his first pre-season with the Tricolours, they certainly aren't on show.

Flanagan met Cronk, who is now the club's specialist halves coach, for a coffee in their first interaction before the pair hit the training paddock in late November – two months after the Roosters' back-to-back title triumph.


"I was a bit nervous the first time, I didn't know whether I should shout him or he should shout me," Flanagan said.

"I idolised him as a kid and doing little stuff with him one-on-one and some kicking stuff on the side after training.

"Every time I see him now he's more a mate and easy to talk to. We've gone through simple things I can put in my game that will give me a good start.

"Coming into the team I don't have to do too much but play basic footy. That's getting my kicks and defence, all the pretty stuff will come off the back of that.

"I'm not going from zero to one hundred quick, I'll use the first couple of rounds to build my game around my defence and earn the trust with the team."

Flanagan had the utmost admiration for premiership-winning coach Trent Robinson.

"A massive footy brain, he's strategic with how he looks at the game and picks my brain a bit," he said.

"He likes to know what I'm thinking at training so I'm looking forward to working with him. He challenges me to bring the best out of me."

WHY the fark would we pay for him to play at souffs next year?
This is ridiculous and so stupid if true.
If he is that much on the nose, let him play for Norths next year.
