Somewhat. Have you seen the size of Dearden?
I agree with the change. I'm just not sure this is the right time to make it
But hey, I don't have a Master's in rugby league science from Harvard.
the right time is when you realise the incumbent or current set up won't win you a premiership. not necessarily this year, but ever. a halves combo of Milford and Nikorima won't win a title.
the age does not matter. whether Dearden is 18, 21, 24, there are going to be teething problems with a debutant and a new combination, and he's going to be a target for any NRL-standard forward.
now Seibold has to approach the McCulloch situation. May not be a club willing to take him of Siebs hands, but a decision may need to be made by seasons end
