I agree that the rumour of Bennett coming to the Dragons is a red herring. Why would he? He still has a contract for 2021 with the Bunnies and an impressive team there. Whilst he knows that Jason Demetriou will take over in 2022, Bennett has a job to complete and as a result I cannot see him coming to us. He came and conquered for us but no more.
I think that either the club will announce that Flanagan will be our coach sometime later this year for 2022 and that he would have plenty of time to work out who he needs for his squad. Then again, if by any chance V'Landys is agreeable to the reduction of Flanagan's ban, then who knows Flanagan could come in earlier than 2022? The NRL might also have a new CEO who might be sympathetic as well, again, who knows? We can all speculate as much we like and the end result will be the swan song of the one and only Mary McCannotWIN.
