"Flanagan: We haven't spoken to Trent (Hodkinson) or his management but we're in the market and we're still looking. Robbo will be in the mix somewhere, he could be a utility, he could be a starting 7 or could be back-up for someone."

 

[slide rule]

That's reassuring. I was worried that he might be enticed by a big money offer from elsewhere.

 

[HaroldBishop]

FMD. There is no hope for this club whilst Flanno is coach.

 

[djhabib]

Yep im not going to go to a game next season if that ****rash is playing halfback

 

[sharks2010]

Seriously what did you guys think he was going to say? Rubbish him on a public forum?

 

[djhabib]

Admit robbo has photos of flanno rooting a goat

I dont think they will not sign a good half back on Robbos account.

 

[skeksis]

Of course not rubbish him, but say "we're going hard for X or Y; robbo has been great for us but he understands the direction the club wants to head in" or something like that

Exactly. He was hardly going to put forth that the club is searching for any possible solution to the halfback problem. He has to back the players.

 

[Loyal Shark]

What about chasing the likes of Josh drinkwater and even Luke walsh , Walsh is playing well in the SL and Drinkwater is rapidly improving .

Maybe after the way DCE played out in the media they are trying to not repeat that by keeping it under wraps.

whats that? that Robbos is shopping himself around? hahaha

 

[vicsharkfan]

We went all in to get dce, pretty safe bet robbo won't feature next year unless captain of Newtown, I'm happy for him to do that.

 

[Proud Shark]

I wish. More referring to which half we are after. Once the media gets a sniff we will be in for 30 speculation articles a week.

If so it's about time we shut up about who we are chasing , although in doing so we have helped plenty of players get more than they expected.

 

[SharkShocked]

In fairness to the cub, we didn't exactly make many public statements about the chase for DCE.

Was all media.

No, but it was more than likely leaked. Give you one guess who to.

 

[HaroldBishop]

Very hard to keep things like that under wraps these days. As Chad alluded to, managers purposely leak stuff to the media. Not just that, everyone has a phone in their pocket these days. Very hard to keep out of the spotlight regardless of where meetings take place.

 

[SharkShocked]

I would be surprised if it wasn't leaked by Orr to the media directly.

Flanno did make comments at the forums etc. Compared to the bigger clubs we do make a lot more noise about who we are after. It is true the managers cause a lot too but when's the last time you heard the Roosters, Storm, Dogs etc make comments before a deal was locked down.
