I mean if we imagine that Paddon's contract at Hyundai or any other WRC team wouldn't continue, and he would just go back to NZ to do his AP4+ drives and other Hyundai business, Seb Marshall wouldn't have a role in that. In that case he would obviously jump into another WRC team where a full season job would be available.
In fact, Marshall could have prefered Meeke because that's a full season drive and Paddon would only have a limited program.
Think people are just making too much out of it.
For Paddon changing codriver also makes sense cause while better that last year, his season wasn't really great.
If he doesn't go to Msport he can imo always do part season at Hyundai.
I think it's fairly "open rumour mill", like Lappi to Citroen was.

Meeke may be banking on the "Only Sebastians win World Championships" theory.
Boldest carrer jump ever? French junior champ, Adrien Fourmaux, will be in WRC2 next year backed by the FFSA, after only two seasons in rally, mainly driving a Fiesta R2J (R2 with almost standart engine). He will make his R5 debut next wkd in Rallye du Var, the last round of the French series. Fingers crossed!
