Outside of the player, there’s wives, partners, kids, family etc to consider. Not so straight forward

Recruitment & Retention 2027

Gutho is running on fumes, you’d have to think 2027 is the last year, his body can’t keep up. Holmes is a different story, he could still squeeze 2/3 years out of the SL lemonSigned on way too much money for super league to have a play at em.
If they were on 400k-500k each we could probably chip in and get them gone but Shane Flanagan was desperate so we paid overs and his talent ID + critical thinking skills are non existent
Should never get a HC job at NRL level again

Bloody hell. How on earth did we have this guy, Flanno, helping out with recruitment and pathways when he was our head coach? Just imagine if the Board didn't put the pressure on him to go and he remained the head coach. Same old, same old players with a couple more rejects or journeymen signed for 2027.Signed on way too much money for super league to have a play at em.

Flanno would not have been in the race to get the guys we have coming in November. He would not have gone for either Metcalf or Nikorima and kept Kyle and Atkinson as the halves. Gutho would remain the fullback etc. etc.
The big question mark that still remains is with how Deano will go?

I firmly believe that DY wont have the balls to put Gutho in reserve grade, KF yes but not Gutho. I also think our center depth is not flash atm, so Holmes still there but only just. Some of his games this year were down right embarrassing for a so called origin player.Bloody hell.

If Dean Young was to show how gutsy he will be in his role as the full-time Head Coach of the Dragons first grade team then he has got to have the balls in saying to Gutho - "Hey mate, guess what? You are not playing in first grade." Tough decisions will have to be made by Deano and not be hairy fairy about it.I firmly believe that DY wont have the balls to put Gutho in reserve grade, KF yes but not Gutho.

I don't care who we will be playing in Round 1 next year. We have to win otherwise our embarrassment will continue.
