Couchmans young age is often pointed out. I don't know why it matters, If they are good enough, they are old enough. half the NQ pack debuted as teenagers. Like Luki, Nanai, Finefeuiaki, Taumalolo and I think even Coen Hess and it's hardly like that had a negative effect on their development.
I'm starting to think maybe a Hunt swap isnt out of the question.. maybe im dreaming.. I just feel like maybe that was a real moment on sunday.. and coming into another 1 or even 2 losses.. if I was Flanno I would be looking at someone to replace Marshke that gives us a plan b for Hunt.. just in case.. even if Hunt ended up in another position..
Not sure about Boyd. I don't really rate him. Though he might be ok playing 5/8 not responsible for the bulk or the organising/playmaking. Volkman might be ok but I think there is some bad-blood between him and the club.
You would think every day that goes by without an announcement means he is less likely to stay with the Eels. Otherwise what is he waiting for? I'm sure they have already told him everything he needs to know to re-sign.
If Flanno picks up Saifiti so Newcastle can have cap space to sign Talagi, there will need to be an investigation. To see whether he is getting paid to sabotage the Dragons.
The fact his manager is meeting with the panthers board today means there’s something going on.
The only way out of this it seems is investing on youth.
According to Dean Ritchie, Penrith met with both of them. They report Blaize to Penrith is a done deal and suggest his brother is also.
It would seem Penrith don't have such a high opinion of the halves and back 5 juniors they have coming through.
