He's only 20. Turns 21 next July.
But I guess in his defence maybe things are not healthy there so who knows.
My forecast is for them to be worse next year. Drinkwater turns 29 in May 2026
I watched him closely last year, physically struggles in defense IMO. But he can break the line out of nowhere with some magic. Wasn't up to NRL playing 6, looked really uncomfortable. The whole team sucked to be fair to him. I am not sure what he would be worth, but he has some way to go development wise. Cowboys need to keep him. Not an option for us IMO, not that anyone has really said that.
