Personally I’d go BBO utility role to start. That way he can pressure both Avo and JMK. More so keen to see him pinch some of JMKs minutes like he did at the back end of the year.
He's got too much natural ability to lock him in as a 14 at this stage. There's no point to putting pressure on JMK, he's out of the picture as of 23 anyway.

Does that spell trouble for Burton?
I think (hope) Barrett changes stuff up for next year. I get the feeling he thought Flanagan was going to do better and spent all his time and effort building the structure around that assumption.

I'd say he will start there and the position is his to loose. Buy I see more in both Bobo and wakham.
I wouldn’t be suprised if Flanno gets first crack. He is on the most money out of all of the halfback options. They will give him the chance to earn his keep in a decent side.

Otherwise we will have a $500k halfback in Reggie’s for the next 2 years. There will be no chance to move him on if he doesn’t show anything in first grade.

Remember one of the first things Gus did when he joined was get Baz to put him back in the side. I think Baz wants Jake there but Gus wants Flanno. Not necessarily because he is the best option but more for what I said above about his salary.

I think he starts the year there and if he fails his NRL career is pretty much over. That will be shit for us because we are still stuck with him for 2 more years.

I just hope whoever starts there digs into the farkin line. Last year all of our passing was done so far from the defensive line. It was painful to watch. Other teams defended us easily.

It’s not really a lock at 14 for his career it’s more I like the flexibility of having him come on in the halves or at 9 whilst he’s trying to earn a starting position. Respectfully disagree with you on JMK. I don’t want him guaranteed minutes next season when we have somebody else who can jump in and proven to be dangerous. The beauty of depth something we haven’t enjoyed in recent years.

BBO was more impressive at 9 in first grade then he was at 7 in Jersey Flegg.
