With Dean Young signing on with the Dolphins for the next 3 years, it makes sense to sign Flannagan and a new coaching staff.
I believe player fitness is one of the big contributors to our inability to compete consistently in 2023.
Yes, we could do with a couple of top-grade props and possibly another top-grade edge forward to have a better chance to match it with the top sides in the competition however, in 2023 we have 6 vacant spots in the top 30 which can be filled with 3 forward recruits and 3 backline juniors.
I can see Hunt to 9, Sullivan to 7, and Ramsey/Sloan/Steward sharing fullback and possibly wing and center positions next season.
