I like these moves, younger athletes with potential, unlike the previous regime hiring average older players to fill holes. Think Hipgrave, Lumi Lumi, Cini, Harper, Hodgson, Â
Word is Lume Lume only ended up with us as he was driving to Cronulla but had his map upside down. Â You can bag him all you like , but you can't say he didn't always have an eye on the tryline.Â
Just watched his highlights package. Impressive. Big strong , very much like a KIKAU type player. Loves to hit the holes and good pace for a big unit. 185cm and 108kgs with pace.  Already played 3 NRL games. Potential no doubt. Hope it works out for us. 22 Years old, so needs to nail this year.Â
I am interesed that it said supplementary (development) deal for 2025 and top 30 in 2026.Â
The rules state your only allowed a maximum of 6 development players and from my understanding Guymer, Pryke, R Penisni, Tago, Keir and AMS were on those deals already for 2025. So one of them must have been promoted to top 30.
Also, it is going to be very strong NSW cup side. Bit worried how they will be able to fit everyone in cup if everyone is available.
"Even if all that is true it is a good outcome that we didn't overextend ourselves. It's just as important to opt out on signing players who aren't a good fit for us. "
"Just like the Wayne Bennett deal to south's. If your going for big fish you've got to put the bait out there lure them in.
I suspect that's exactly what the Dogs did for Galvin and South's did for Bennett."

Good backup. Can find the tryline. Comin from dogs

An eye for an eye Wizzer.Â
His other eye was on the sideline....
Personally big fan of Lume lume, real team player. Always keeping an eye out  for other playersÂ
His NSW Cup this yrs highlights are very impressive. Another good buy.
