What would you suggest as an alternative? We can't sign any NRL players and I don't see any better back rowers coming through our youth system or being available domestically. He's a solid and versatile player who brings significant experience to an increasingly youthful squad.
I do not understand why the myth of Flannery being solid exists. I know last years grand final was a painful experience but surely someone else, apart from myself, gave it a second watch. He is a weak link who will let us down in the big games with his flat footed defending. At least if we played a young player instead of him there would be the possibility that one day the young lad would justify his position in the team.
I can hear the cries of laughter coming from Wigan already. A sad sign of the clubs ambitions if ever there was one.
