Really glad Fien is here. His ability to cover half, five eight and hooker makes him a vital component. But I am worried.
The Dragons are re-building. The focus is firmly on 2014. But for "organic growth" to actually work, you need to provide opportunity to grow. We have a number of gun young players coming through. Drinkwater, King and Style (I realise he is injured) need game time. They are the future and they need to be given a chance.
I look at Fien and the temptation to play him game in, game out must be very strong for Price. There has been a changing of the guard and this will be Fien's last year. I really hope Price downplays his role and uses him as cover for injury. We need to use 2013 to set us up for 2014. And I think Fien, despite his many attractions, is a step backwards now. Sadly I think that step will happen. He will be in the 17 all year.
Thoughts?
