Tanah Boyd taking up his option for next year and sticking around. Think the club would have been honest with him and he could still be in their plans? He may be depth but if he gets an opportunity, he might grab it with both hands. Think now if TMM is to be extended, it’s as a 14 going forward. Still a possibility, we signed Walker as a bench utility who can fill multiple positions and TMM has that in his arsenal. If he got a preseason to become accustomed to lock off the bench, I’d back him with him a strong defender. That’s possibly where Gannon fits in though?
Surely TMM is gone with this news.

Walker's position is Gannon's then after Boyd 2026 it's probably Jye and/or Jett 2027 for first drop position or outright take CHT's spot

Happy with this.
I’m not convinced with CHT. He’s been going well with Metcalf but I’m not fully on board with him at 6, almost a perfect 14 imo.
Pretty smart from Boyd, he’s an injury or CHT getting dropped away from playing for a team that is at the top of table.
He could do well next to Metcalf. Metcalf is the 7 and chief now but Boyd’s kicking game and organising could help Metcalf as well.
