i would be happy with flannery coming to the bulls, a bit of pace, good in defence and offers a lot in attack. with him taking a quota spot though I'm not sure if he's a realistic target?

Significantly better than Hall, and proven so over a number of years. If he is fitter, leaner and able to play for longer periods with his impact then he would be a good addition. However, whether that is reality is the crux.

Still, Harry will know all that inside out.

That is true, he would need to maintain these levels. I'm a lot happier with his potential signing after seeing some of his recent performances though

How old is Flannery? if he is a direct replecement for Hall then yes..

A decent player but not the type of impact forward you desperately need.

Why would he replace Hall who is in year 1 of a 3 year contract? He has no desire to leave.

Flannery is a solid consistent, 80 minute pro who just gets on with it in the David Boyle mould and would bring a wise head and words to the young fellas.

A bit like Hall should be doing...

think you maybe getting a bit mixed up. theres 2 discussions going on simultaneously in this thread one about flannery and another about paleasina and it s paleasina who's being compared to hall in terms of fitness.
Only way we'll get rid of hall is if he asks for a release on compassionate grounds as, based on his performance so far no one is going to pay a transfer fee for him. And even if we allowed him to go on a free cant see anyone matching his wage at bulls, so he'd be daft to go elsewhere for a lower wage. I still suspect he's been carrying an injury as his fitness was never a problem at manly.

In all these rumours of players coming in has anyone heard of any halfbacks that have been linked with us? We surely can't be going into 2011 with only Orford and Southernwood can we?

You'd have to hope a half back would be top priority

And Sykes!!

Don't remind me!
