I thought the part about Ben Hunt copping it if the team starts next year poorly was interesting. I won't blame Hunt at all. I'll blame Flanno for not sending him on his way already.
I think he just threw it out there without giving it serious consideration. Zac might make such a move in the last 2 or 3 years of his career. Just my views.
Where can one find the option to do that?
So Sloan is definitely on the outer if that's the case.
The 6m dollar question. Any other player that had turned in the same abysmal performace that Hunt did would have been dumped to ressies or released.
I dont think so, yes at full back, but he has the skill, speed and hopefully the bulk after regular gym sessions to play elsewhere in our backline. I still maintain that with extra size and defense capability he'd slip into 5/8 seamlessly.
Analysis = true.
Cowboy Tom Dearden is a Dragon target, plays 5/8 and 1/2 . Old footage shows he is more a runner than an organiser. Like to see some of him in action for the Cowboys. Footy scribes calling him a play maker so he must have improved his skills since that early footage. So if he can now orchestrate plays as well as finish em we should throw decent money at him..
He'll do what he can given Sloan will be off his feet for a couple of months well after Zac and the boys return for new season training. Being incapacitated from waist down wont stop him hitting the gym and pumping some iron tho to put heaps more muscle on his skinny bod. Or having psychology sessions to work on adding hunger to his game.
He'll be off his feet until Xmas break.
Should be a priority. Unless the club can afford both. If they let Ben Hunt go, that's possible.
Once he can walk comfortably again he can hit the tackle bags then probably Flanno will give him his promised boxing/wrestling sessions too. The poor guy will be exhausted but hopefully bigger and fitter come season start.
You mean Dearden and Manu. Hearing 1.2m Manu, not sure Dearden but we will have to pay overs what the Cowboys are offering him. Says he loves playing up in Nth Qld, so we will need to do the big sell for him to relocate to Sydney.
Yes.
Sloan has been really bad far more often than really good but no question at all he has a shit-load of talent. It's Flanno's job to bring that talent to fruition on the field not sabotage the team in order to make a spot for his son.
