Which junior is going to play second-row?
Does anyone know if the development squad will push on this year? I know Michael Molo was getting starts but what about Coric, Shereb, Antrobus?

Coric is in the top 30, Antrobus i think is gone and I think Shereb will be part of the development squad again.
Thanks Parko. It's a shame but looks like they haven't set the world on fire yet. I assume it's the same for Muhleisen, with the signing of Liddle plus the young lad from the Storm.
Muhleisen is between Liddle, the new hooker just joined with Navajo up his arse from Flegg. Sounds like his card has been marked.
Yes, although in the case of Coric I think he'll at least play firsts at some stage. He did drift between seconds and flegg but mostly played seconds. Front rowers do tend to come in to grade older than most backs. Shereb played mostly in flegg last year, so I'm not too sure how he's progressing.
I would think it would be embarrassing for Frizell to return considering the reason he gave for leaving in the first place, I would still prefer to focus on someone younger with a lot of upside whilst Frizell has remained one dimensional, i dont question his effort whilst he was at the Dragons but it has taken its toll, so being only a super cheap buy for one year would be my utmost consideration.I know the article is from The Mole, but there are a couple of Dragons related bits in this article which might be of interest -

Coric isn't in the 30
Yep, thought he was because of the website but realised my mistake as he's only in players because he was named in the squad for firsts once or twice this year. I believe he's actually touted to be in the development squad for next year along with Shereb if I'm not mistaken.
I dont know the squad well enough to know that,but if we keep buying everyone else throwaways we'll never find out. Weve got lots of juniors-how about we give them a go. I'm sick of hearing were in a rebuilding stage-if we are, then stick to it and start with a young squad and build it, just like Penrith have done. We constantly complain about losing our juniors, but we do bugger all to give them a go. Look at Corey Norman for gods sake-he just kept getting selected while everyone except management knew he was crap. I want to see something different for once, and using our juniors is a great start
We currently don't have any juniors in the second-row that are near stepping up to first grade. So, there are situations when it is in a club's best interest to recruit externally. As it stands for 2023, we have Su'a locked in on one edge. we could put Bird on the other, however with an already thin front row, this would mean putting de belin at lock and weaking the front row even further. The other options are starting Billy Burns or Tyrell Fuimaono. Or god forbid another Josh Kerr second row experiment. Give me Frizell for 2023 out of the options any day of the week.
Deserves his pay.
I don't blame him
