I was keen on Boyd but think it's an impulsive hunch rather than a logical one.

mattnz wrote:The last time that Flanno was coached by Flanno, he averaged 43 fantasy points, included 2.6 goals per game (-5 points). His halves partner was noted kicker Townsend. Next to Chad he averaged 193 km, in his rookie season.

The next season, he was at the Roosters and started the season really well from a fantasy perspective, including a low of 40 points all season, and a stretch of 5 straight 60+ point games!!

Lest we forget.

I am seeing rumours that Lomax could have 1 foot out the door, he is playing on the wing, and all his previous coaches have dropped him at some stage. Who knows, he is a really good goal kicker and could take that up at any time.

Over Origin he should take the reigns and be a high scoring player as the dominant half, with all the kick meters.

Priced at 25 and his dad probably gives him decent job security.

Anyone else sold?

if you have both and both of them are shit, its two trades.

if you have both and one of them are shit, its one trade.

if you have one, and you land on the right one, its no trades.

if you have one, and you land on the wrong one, its one trade.

if you have neither .. you might be slightly annoyed about not having one of them but its probably not that big of a deal.

Worth saving 140k and rolling the dice on Flanno?

Would allow some nice upgrades next week I’d say. Namely Chan to May maybe

At this stage of the season I would be more comfortable playing Hutch in my 17 based on having watched both players play.

Flanno Senior can say what he wants but I'm yet to be convinced Ben Hunt doesn't try to do everything himself again. I might change my mind after a couple of games.

If you need the $50k to set yourself up for next week then I'm not anticipating the points difference is going to be more than 5-10 points and even them it could go either way

At times in recent seasons it has felt like Hunt has shouldered sole responsibility for the Dragons' fortunes and, as Flanagan pointed out after an opposed session against Manly on Friday, the Queenslander has often had to do that while holding the hand of an inexperienced five-eighth.

But with the arrival of Kyle Flanagan from Canterbury, Hunt can expect the chance to play with more freedom.

The 25-year-old Flanagan has had his detractors during his first-grade career, but there is little doubt his kicking and game awareness can help Hunt unleash his natural running game.

"Ben's enjoyed his time with Kyle because it's taken a lot of pressure off him," Flanagan senior said.

"Ben's played with young halves before and they've only played 20 games. Kyle's up around 80 (games) and his strength is his organisation.

"He's taken a lot of pressure off Ben because on the last tackle, big plays, the ball isn't always going to go to Ben.

"That's freed Ben up to run a little bit more and (he's) enjoying that."

And now I'm back on the ledge

mattnz wrote:Incidentally a good selling point for Flanno, is that he averaged 33 last season starting in the halves next to Burton, with just 121 km average. His price is really low as he played 7 games off the bench for an average of 13 points last year. He has had a high tackle count in the halves every year for his base. Between 20 and 26 tackles per game in each season, after his rookie season (which was lower at 18 average). He can't really go lower than his typical 50 running meters per game, the only way is up from there.

Want my sales pitch for Lolo and Lussick?

I think you can safely wait and see on both of them. If Lolo gets 50 points in 60 minutes and looks really involved, everyone gets him next week. If he gets 27 points in 45 minutes, you probably need to trade him out.

Equally, this week should give us an idea of Lussick minutes with Hands on the bench.

No rush for either of them in R1.

Chan to May is some upgrade.

Incidentally a good selling point for Flanno, is that he averaged 33 last season starting in the halves next to Burton, with just 121 km average. His price is really low as he played 7 games off the bench for an average of 13 points last year. He has had a high tackle count in the halves every year for his base.
