I reckon Chanel is a bigger out than people might be thinking. They don’t have elite halves but that doesn’t mean they are by any means bad players. They now have halves on both edges who haven’t even been that good at Cup level.
Chanel has been their one consistent presence in the halves all season and they actually have a losing record without him. He’s one of the best defenders in that position in the comp, brings his option runners onto the ball really well, and has a great feel for impactful “effort” plays without overplaying his hand. I rate him as their next best spine player after Egan. I doubt Warriors fans think it doesn’t matter that he’s out.
