Well it makes sense. They have Liddle signed til 2028. He is 31 next year. Watson for 2027 only. So Coinakis has a chance of being a 14 and even starting for Saints in 2028 if Liddle goes down, which he has been prone to do.
With us, he could have been 14, though maybe Ryles prefers Trey-Stewart and even Bell behind him in 2028 onwards. 2027 we have Smith and Edwards behind Da Silva.
Not too bothered. Da Silva is 21 and has dibs, and if anything the 14 for us needs to be able to play in the pack elsewhere.
With Ryley Smith still around, not sure when Coinakis would've got anything other than another Flegg season.
And he doesn't seem to be as rated by us as Fletcher and co.
Again, one of those where you can't keep them all.
This just shows that the junior conveyor belt is starting to work. This is exactly as it's designed to be. Bring young players through and if they are good enough they play NRL. If not, they go elsewhere. The club just needs to retain the right players. There will be players further down the line to take up the gap left by Coinakis.
If the eels were a publicly listed company you would all be buying in at the wrong time. This was being built two years ago and every man and his dog on here has been slagging off at the club without a clue as to what's actually happening and giving the club the time it needs to execute the plan.
