This is a huge decision for Doust to make this year.
Try and keep Firman and Head = Holdsworth more than likely gone
Keep Firman = Release Head = Keep Holdsworth
Keep Head = Release Firman = Keep Holdsworth
Obviously the Dragons need to choose soon what they are going to do and many sources are saying that we will lose at least 1 of the 3 by seasons end.
Firman is out for the whole season more or less with a broken Leg...broken legs dont mean he is injury prone if it is the first time he has done it, and the severity of which he broke his leg (both Tibia and Fibula) invokes that it would of happened to anyone.
He has had a shoulder reconstruction and a Shoulder Stabilisation. However, he is still an extremely solid defender with a superb running and Long distance kicking game. A definant Game Breaker, with match winning ability.
Should we risk taking him on despite his Injuries? Refer to Scott Prince and the Tigers.
Matthew Head is an extremely talented halfback, with a very good all round game who leads his team well. As the season has gone on he has been developing a game breaker ability as well.
Has had only slight injuries this season, but it should be noted that Firman played almost the whole of last season as well...it wasnt until the end of season that he had surgery.
Holdsworth is a very young and talent 5/8 who could be the future of the club with one of the above.
Not a bad defener or ball runner for someone so young and shares in the kicking duties as well. Being so young, we can really develop him early and have a great 5/8 of the future here.
Having Holdsworth at 5/8 puts Trent Barrett in question. I have always wanted the big, strong, tough defending Barrett to play at Lock because he has the size, aggression and ability to play in the Fowards.
Having him at Lock would also mean that we dont have to worry as much for when he is out injured as we have Holdsworth in 5/8 who (Finger Crossed) isnt anywhere near as injury prone as Trent.
Lets not forget that this season, Head has had a vastly improved foward pack to work with and another playmaker in Withers to help organise when he is busy. Firman didnt have that last season.
What is your view and opion on the matter, keeping in mind that neither Firman nor Head want to play hooker and I severly doubt that either of them will be moved there.
Personally, if I had to choose I would go with:
6. Holdsworth
7. Firman
13. Barrett
With Withers at Hooker to help organise as well as Benny Hornby coming into his own this season and helping out in the middle as well.
Either way, we have the potentials for greatness...its up to who we want to trust with it now.
