Timing Ted. If we were in the 8 right now then TDS stays.
It's also an indicator of Benji's mindset.
I think he realised that next year is more important. I doubt whether this year can be saved and his job is safe for next year, but fail next year and it's gonesky.
Ciraldo got off to a rocky start but when he got the team that he wanted, playing the style he demanded.... bingo.
Even though Hope has played less NRL games compared to TDS, he is more experienced in the dummy half position overall.
If Hope is our cash cow bench player next year, lets groom him now followed by Haywood.
