Watching last night, I don't believe Dylan is anywhere the level he was attaining.
Whether it is the ACL tear (definitely lost pace) but his body language showed to me in pre and post game interviews he doesn't want to go anywhere. I think he sees Parra is home and whilst no one can complain for him taking the 13m, I wonder if he will ever be happy in the Knights wilderness.
I have always been a DB fan, but I also think we burn't him out in the last 2 seasons and confused his role in the process.
I now see DB as a 600pa player and if he maintained his original potential say 800k. i.e my implication is he has lost 25% as a player.
WE have most probably won the jackpot as I think we have seen the best of him whereas I question his future now. I would be surprised if he retains his NZ Test status when you look at the Warriors and their young half.
Watching his current game he is missing tackles, whereas previously he hardly missed a thing. He has also lost confidence in the line, doesn't know or understand his role by the rules that made him recognised in the first place.
We are very lucky and whilst it has been said repeatedly, I cannot believe how dumb the Knights are as he will never be the play maker they have signed for. O'Sullivan has a lot to answer for!

Funny thing how things work out.
Last game of the year Dyl got the partial tear if it had been a full ACL and out for 9 months id wager he taked up his option for security reasons.
Now hes gone for money/Security hopefully we land a Galvin or Sandon Smith and it works out for us
Everyone is saying Sandon Smith, he contracted til 2026 and unlike Galvin I am not sure Roosters let him go, particularly to Ryles who they had a falling out with, Politis is petty.
I have said that we can get player early out of deals, Smith is different with Politis thoughts on Ryles.
True depends on how on the nose he is.
Im pretty sure Galvin is the one wouldn't rule out Ethan Sanders wanting out of the raiders but the jury is still out on if hes a 1st grade player
The most pathetic 5/8 in the comp bar none, How on earth has he signed the richest contract in the game.. couldn't even lift against his future team the bloke is not first grade standard.
