Confirmed: Roosters sign Kyle Flanagan for two years.

Spot on we need to give the Junior talent as much opportunity as we can.
Desire to be a Rooster means more to a Local Junior

But if they haven’t got it they haven’t got it. Lam seems to be coming along very slowly and this signing is a show of no confidence.

jacks coat, i think the seniors in the squad, ie cords, cronk, maubs will knock any cockiness out of him asap, although a halfback must have some cockiness along with zself confidence , cronk will see him right?

Hopefully. They couldn’t knock the attitude out of that little feril Hastings.

The fact is he's signed for 2 years on what will be a low-mid range value contract. If he fails to fire, we will have one of either Lam, Lamb or Hutchison to fill his spot and audition for a long term role. I personally am very happy with the signing, Flanno will only improve while playing with Keary and (hopefully) getting coached by Cooper. In Robbo we trust.

If Walker is as good as they say he should be ready to hit first grade at a young age. Hopefully ready by 2022 when Flanagan’s contract expires.

They both expire end of 2021,so will be interesting to see what happens with new contracts moving forward..

What about a few scribes reckon we are looking at Josh Reynolds...
I say yes...as back up for Friend and the young halves.
Make a good benchy..may be able to get him cheap if Tigpies pay the bill

[Bansai Pipeline]

I like the Reynolds idea. Tenacious and thick. Like a staffy.

The fact that Kyle's dad is a premiership winning coach is a potential bonus. Robbo seems to get ideas from different places and maybe Shane can be a help. Maybe there are Chinese whispers about Shane, but he's back in the fold now.

I do think Lam has it , agree Lamb doesn't

[Old Man Rooster]

Well at least if he is going to be any good he is ours. Lets see how he works out. Some good options with both Flanagan and young Walker in the wings.

[GC6]

Haven't really seen enough of Lachie Lam, but can he transition into a 9? That would be the obvious spot for him going forward now that we have signed Sam Walker and Kyle Flanagan

I don’t think Lam could handle 9. He hates to pass in the 6 jersey imagine if he didn’t pass in the number 9

No team over the last God knows how long has won the comp with a rookie in the halves.

All top halves were rookies once mate!

[Mickie Lane]

All top halves were rookies once mate!

Yeah but none of them have won comps as a rookie.

[Darkone]

Kyle has impressed me,

as said before,

no accident with the Sharks B team he beat the Storm, one of the best performances by a half this season.
