Quote ="BrisbaneRhino"I've seen all of Wests' games and Flanagan's looked much better than I expected. He certainly has a rugby brain, and hasn't looked out of place at all. He made a lovely break to set up a long-range Tuqiri try against the Roosters early on - made the break and didn't panic at all as a lot of forwards would, and timed the pass to Tuqiri to perfection, giving him the best chance to beat the cover.
If he continues to develop this year I'd fully expect him to be in the England 17 at the end of the season. As will Ellis and Burgess.

Spoken like a true Aussie.
I don't doubt what you say, but your tone puts you right up there with Phil Gould and other great ambassadors for the Antipodean race.
