Manly assistant coach Shane Flanagan is trying to get son Kyle to the Sea Eagles in 2024 in a bid to revive the halfback's career.Flanagan, 24, is coming off contract with the Bulldogs at the end of the season and is unlikely to be re-signed.The Sea Eagles are considering bringing him in and moving veteran Daly Cherry-Evans to five-eighth, then shifting the giant Josh Schuster to backrow or centre.Kyle played his best football under his dad early in his career at Cronulla, where he debuted in 2018 and looked the goods.He has lost his way in recent seasons at the Roosters and Bulldogs but his father believes the playmaker still has plenty to offer if used the right way.This season, Kyle has yet to score a try or come up with a try assist after eight rounds with the Bulldogs.Schuster has had a mixed year at five-eighth for Manly - on Sunday in the narrow win over the Tigers, he had eight runs for just 47 metres, missed five tackles and made four errors.Both Flanagans will deny all this - but it has been discussed very seriously in the corridors of power at Manly.
