Choked in the GF last 2018. Choked in the finals in 2017.
We're losing a player who didn't dominate in NSW Cup and has played ZERO minutes as an NRL halfback. Good luck to him. Sharks will be OK.

At least they played by the rules and didn't poach him until November.
Keeps thing fair for all the clubs

He did win a GF though in the younger grades, didn’t he? (Not sure of the comp name). Compare him to Chad who wins Gfs for fun and it’s a polar opposite experience coming through the ranks

Win some lose some, we got a Trindall, a Dykes.... and a Sorensen. All good.

Exactly. Has shown glimpses of promise. Will have to really step up at Easts. They will move him on immediately if they don't think he will cut it.
Andrew Johns reckons he will have a 200 game career. It's all over for him now.
And four clubs from now someone will appreciate their cheap but serviceable Blake Green 2.0 with his 200-ish games (more likely than this is a Dogs letting go Thurston scenario)

This will be just like when the roosters poached boy wonder Jackson Hastings, didn’t last long

The thing I don't get it, he wanted out. We had him contracted. Not sure how the club is an idiot in this. If you bend over that easily in your personal life that's fine, but the club shouldn't.

Do we let a guy go that doesn't want to be here or hang on to him and let him not meet the mark

We should’ve gave him a guarantee... by the end of this year we will have a clear picture of either Chad or SJ moved on for you to be our full time half. I’m guessing JMO couldn’t really give him a clear path to first grade for next year, it doesn’t really make sense otherwise unless Roosters threw 500k plus
Junior club, playing with his best mates, under a coach he knows well etc

What do you mean ... ?
If youre not willing to guarantee a player a spot when they are playing good, getting you results, apart of your future as JMO has stated and grown within in your own system then why would he stay, especially when you are watching the players that have been guaranteed your spot instead fk it all up.
Why would anyone want to stay if they aren’t guaranteed to be apart of your plans ?
The contract guarantees them a spot in the 30 man squad, everyone in the squad is in the plans. From there you earn your spot in the team.
Why the **** would we guarantee Flanno a starting halves jersey for next year? He can earn it just like Chad and Johnson should have to. If he can’t outplay them then he doesn’t deserve the spot.
If Chad and Johnson have been guaranteed spots why would Kyle stay? If some random kid can be guaranteed a spot in front of them for next year why would they give a **** about how they play now?
You play well to earn your spot and play well to keep it. If you don’t have a spot you try play well enough to force your way into one and hope an opportunity arises.

1. He was outplaying them
2. He's not some random kid, he arguably is the clubs best half coming through the ranks … ever ? It looks like they both don't give a fk how they are playing now.
3.*He will @ the roosters because they've guaranteed him a spot
