Flanagans out..

[Waerea-Beast!]

Flanno has been solid without setting the world on fire, but these past few weeks, it seems as though he's really not touching the ball until the last tackle. You could see last weekend that Lam was desperate to get involved, to the point where Robbo eventually had him playing first receiver. It's probably more a case of LL playing well and adding spark, which we're really lacking right now

Very perceptive. How big is the screen you watch from in NYC?

Ask your wife?

Ask your wife?

DL has confirmed the screen is small. She's used to small.

So the coach dropped the leading points scorer and not anybody else. I don’t buy it. Weirder is only inches above Paul Kent in credibility in my opinion. Like this bullshit line about the dogs offering SBW money to come back there.

Very unsatisfied on numerous counts

What’s the difference between dropped and rested?
One is used for precious millienials, the other adults.

[fletch]

According to the news, he’s been rested, not dropped or replaced.

In his press conference this morning Robbo confirmed Flanagan was dropped as he had some things to work on.

Trent confirmed in the Press Conference that he was dropped. No alarm bells were sounded, just all part of his development. He'll be back and he and Lam will both be better for it.

[ChookMaster]

Very interesting indeed... if lam can kill it it could end up with no one looking back and flanno stays on the fringe... interestingly he made 39 tackles on the weekend.. playing more like a hooker then a half I guess?? Was very quiet in attack

Thats fair enough..kicking game- ok ...his short kicking game which is brilliant has gone missing ..Defensively has improved out of site .His attack is salty doesn't do enough doesn't run the ball enough and his support play has dropped off .He reminds me of exactly where Cleary was at penriff 2 years ago .A lot to learn .
Well Lammy Jr here is your chance.

[Johnny73]

Okay. He has stuff to work on. This shortened season is a good thing. I'm sure he'll come back better sooner rather than later.

[Thirteen]

I stand corrected. I was wrong.
Clearly Flanno was dropped.

[zac]

robbo was asked if he was dropped or rested and didn't want to clarify but later said he'd been dropped - 'it's part of his development'.

for me flanno has ticked every box but maybe robbo isn't happy with something. if lam kills it this week he will stay.

still, you'd figure flanno's goal kicking gives him a big head start in any contest so i see the dropping as a strategic play from robbo - telling him not to take anything for granted. interesting the decision was made when we have a short turnaround ...

[Johnny Brass]

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago I thought Flanagan had to start taking the line on as he was in danger of becoming like Adam Reynolds with the defences just shuffling off him. I've liked what I've seen of Lam off the bench for us this year he has a solid body and is willing to take the line on.
We will miss Flanagan's goal kicking and he has taken a battering from tackling big edge backrowers.

Remember not so long ago getting smashed by some of you experts on my Flanagan/Lam comments. Chickens have come home to roost fellas LOL.

Early Mail: Roosters coach Trent Robinson revealed on Wednesday that Kyle Flanagan had been dropped, not rested, with Lachlan Lam who has been playing off the bench as a hooker getting his shot in the halves. “As part of his development I thought we’ve been going ok but we want to keep pushing for more,” Robinson said. “Lachie Lam has been training very well and obviously started to bring some energy to our team and is another half. I want to give Kyle the chance to take a breath and get some development and an opportunity for Lachie to come in and show his worth as well.”
