Lots of rumors im seeing on social media. Has anyone herd this? Are we happy with this if it happens? I think burto/moses could be lethal

Renzo is 20 this year just fyi
EA you watch Cup most weeks. Do you see Lorenzo improving steadily? Is his play stifling? I know playing 40mins each week when he was backing up would have stifiled his play somewhat but back playing 80mins week in week out can help moving forward.
I have spoken about it a bit. He has had new combinations to deal with in attack and defence every week which means he has good and bad moments. So it can be hard to pinpoint if he isn't ready or if it's just the lack of cohesion due to new combinations every week.
I trust you know but everything I can see online talks to him only being 18...
I'd love to see Lorenzo debut. Now. However, you can respect Ryles being protective. Worried with injuries and changing combinations, and losing, it'll potentially cause more damage than it's worth. High risk for not that much reward. Lorenzo will definitely be a weekly target.

Lincoln Fletcher is also on the most talented NRL rookie list and a year younger apparantly. Out of curiosity, do you rate Fletcher a better prospect than Sanders?
P.S. The undying optimist in me hopes Risati makes in for us one-day too. He seems to have a high ceiling. Might be unlikely though.
Last year was his last playing in SG Ball.
This article was posted last year, says 19. Therefore means 20 this year. https://www.zerotackle.com/rookie-watch-top-100-young-players-yet-t...
He played sg ball u19s in 2025 and 2024. Played HM u17 in 2023 So he would be 20 this year
If you watched the dogs game without any numbers on their back, you would have thought Burton was a centre/fullback with his highlights. Perhaps him at 6 could work with a dominant 7 like Moses but I am not confident it would work.
