yea im a bit dubious about the interest..
aslong as he doesnt get in dixons or gabriels way going forward.
that clip pretty much just showed him catching the ball in the open and just falling over the line..
He could be the next Alex Johnson by the sounds of it

Well they have Atkinson coming although Brown Atkinson would likely be better than any 2 of Flanju, Ilias, Atkinson
Heard a podcast with Flanno saying that Kyle is up around the mid 90kgs (target of 92kg) and will be a big bodied running style 5/8.

I have a few guesses as to what dad got him for his wedding present...!

Ah yes, his running game has always been his strength...

If he is putting the KG's on my thought is he must be planning on him being the hooker longer term or bench utility

I know we give him heaps, but I actually hope Flanno Jnr becomes a great NRL player. Always good seeing local juniors go well.

He'd be crazy to leave, right? Surely he doesn't get that sort of money from anyone else next year.
His manager is basically saying you've got 12 months to sort your cap out, so make an offer.

He might be happy to take a pay cut to get away from a rebuilding team, to go to a contender? I'd be surprised if he wouldn't command similar dollars from someone.

He's 26 and played 99 games - I think he's reached his ceiling to be honest.

I think it's just a matter of finding where he fits best in a team.
I guess he could achieve what Chad did - if he had the same team around him - but it might be a stretch ..
