After tonight’s effort let the **** go. If they wanna buy a goal kicker that does **** all during the game, by all means take him

Idiot.

It was his second game of firstgrade. Not to mention we had about 3mil from our cap sitting on the sidelines. No Johnson, Moylan, Graham, Gallen. Dugan HIA woods injury but let's talk about the guy who had his 2nd game of first grade.

Slightly different positions.

True, and he played his worse than they play theirs

Our 3rd choice half and he wasn’t a disaster but didn’t exactly come out and show why he deserves a spot over Chad when SJ is back

Only ****wits think we should be punting Chad. He's undoubtedly in the top 8 halfbacks if your his harshest reasonable critic.

Flanno Jr was ok. He's a developing half. At full strength he's behind Chad, SJ and Moylan in the halves, thats about right for where he's at. We're in an injury pickle as well, he's not slotting into a firing healthy side.

Not to say he can’t ever be good but was Xerris first game, Nikora’s fourth and they were both way better.

That doesn’t mean as much as you think it means. Some guys take longer to adjust to first grade then others, and especially for a young half.

I'd much rather take Flanno Jr's solid but slightly passive 2nd game than the **** that Clifford or Te Maire Martin show for the Cowboys for instance. He was an emergency, wasn't expecting to play, and showed a lot of good signs.

So James Roberts has been on his last chance at several clubs now.

Over to you Todd.............

Mate you should see the photos of the ****. It’s ****ing embarrassing.

He’s probably the most protected prick in South East qld deadset.

spot on, he didn’t set the world on fire but looked way better then those peanuts. He’s got a lot of promise we just have to stick with him.

And some guys who are fighting for a position come in and make an impact straight away.

As I said earlier doesn’t mean he can’t ever be good but he’s facing limited opportunities (hopefully) so he needs to try and grab them.

Xerri went out and said ‘pick me’
Flanno went out and said ‘I can cover for the halves if you need me to’

Yes saw, the image.

NRL say "it is an issue for the Broncos"

Broncos - "unavailable for comment"

it is a complete joke , the bloke has been sacked from multiple clubs.

Imagine if it was Fifita.

Whats the issue though? He got drunk and passed out?

Have you never done it?

No , never .

If i had though , and had his record of behaviour , and had multiple final warnings , i would most certainly would avoid this situation.

If he was a clean skin - no dramas.

He is on a self imposed booze ban at the Broncos. Similar situation to Carney at the roosters, breaking the drinking ban was the straw that broke the camels back for his time at roosters. Can see the Broncos trying to keep him though, maybe play the player welfare card.

What did he do wrong?

Like you mate the Broncos have seen nothing wrong with it.

After the Dragons game last week in which he aggravated an injury , he was carried out of a pub semi- conscious.

They said he continues on his course to rehabilitation after a long list of incidents that would make Todd Carney proud.

As part of this rehabilitation , he agreed to stay off the grog.

Lets agree to disagree.
