Willie, Flanno or both
Probably both. Talau wants him playing Ressies so is Flanagan giving him his wish by not picking him outside of reserves. Surely this is no way coaches shud behave when a youngster looking for confidence, is involved. If Loko is ready for Firsts that is where he plays, so Flanagan must pick him in the 17 and Willie will just have to find a replacement. You guys aware the big dude played 10 matches in '25, a yr younger and I dont recall him disgracing himself, prob impressed many instead.

Drinkwater is in career best form at the moment I know but once again paying top dollar for someone who will soon be on the wrong side of 30 for a three year period is risky.
Correct. Also someone that has a defensive record in the Sloan category is an even bigger risk. He may create tries but he sure as hell is gonna let in plenty too. Too much emphasis goes into a prospective recruits attacking ability and not sufficient on his defensive ability.

Almost sounds like Gavin Orr is just getting us to bid against ourselves here. Talks of interest from other teams but none of them have offered a contract. Outside of Perth don’t think any team can offer close to what we can and if they were really interested surely they would have already offered him a deal

Paul Kent reckons that Dragons have been told recently that if Shane Flanagan isn’t the coach there is no chance Bula is going there. Isaac Moses at it again
