The real reason Kyle Flanagan may be forced out of the Roosters before his contract wraps up has been revealed... but it won’t see Mitchell Pearce head back to Bondi.
That is according to The Australian’s Brent Read who gave an update onTriple M as to both player’s contract situations.
Flanagan has been told he won’t be needed at the Roosters past 2021, when his current deal ends.
However, there are reports that they are happy to release him early if Flanagan can secure a deal elsewhere, with the Bulldogs one interested party.
While much has been made of Flanagan’s form, Read revealed that a salary cap squeeze was behind the decision to try part ways early.
“Their issue is I don’t think they budgeted on the Morris brothers and Jake Friend going around next year,” he said.
“Because of that, if you factor in what those three guys are being paid and the fact they have to re-sign James Tedesco beyond next year.
“I’m told his camp is asking for enormous money, he’s looking for probably a three-year extension worth $3.3 million. He’s got one year to go.
“Because of those two factors combined something has to give and Kyle Flanagan has become the expendable player because they have Sam Walker waiting in the reserves.
“I don’t think Kyle Flanagan will be there next year.”
Laurie Daley suggested earlier in the week that Pearce may be heading for a shock Roosters reunion in place of Flanagan.
That has been quickly shot down by Read though along with suggestions that he may be part of a player swap with Mitchell Moses.
Read said he had spoken with Adam O’Brien and the Newcastle coach assured him that Pearce has a long-term future at the club.
“I’ve spoken to Adam O’Brien today, the Newcastle coach, and he said he has spoken to Mitchell several times this week and assured him he has a future at Newcastle,” he added.
“He’s as committed to Mitchell as Mitchell is committed to him.
“Pearce is getting ready to get married now and once he has sorted that stuff out and got that out of the way he will sit down with the club. Adam O’Brien is convinced they will get a deal done with Mitchell Pearce.
“He’s got one year to go, they’ll extend it beyond that. He was stunned by the suggestions of Pearce being part of a swap with Mitchell Moses, that he might be going back to the Roosters.
“Pearce doesn’t want to leave and Adam doesn’t want him to leave.”
