We've got Coote, Lomax and Fages now to last all season. Welsby for Coote would be okay for the majority of the regular season, but would make it hard to win big Cup and Play off games. We really need some proper cover in the halves, madness to go into a season with only two players in that position. That is if the kids coming through aren't ready. If they are then fine.
I really don't see why we didn't keep Danny for next season and use him to incentivise Theo and keep him on his toes. Keep Danny motivated by telling him the shirt would be his and a big new deal awaits if he wins the shirt. Sure he may have signed elsewhere when he was able to, but now we've got two halfbacks who are unchallenged and guaranteed a game and three main playmaking positions with no real cover.
