Sign the bloke. He is very similar to Sam Tuivita. Both played u19 origin blues together. He ran for 200m+ last week in nsw cup and still didnt get called into their side lol. Unlike the other duds from the DT article, this bloke is young and heaps of upside.

Is talk of our juniors being good just talk or do we have at least something to look forward to.
We have good juniors coming through for sure. The next wave starting with Lorenzo should start playing more NRL from next year. Then Petrus, Koina, Popo and others should follow
Pryke is the 7th player from the 2023 SG ball winning team to make their NRL debut. Alamadine and Vaivea were the wingers in that team and they are in nsw cup. TBH i dont either are NRL quality. Lynn and De Stradis are playing Qcup.
So essentially our 2023 Ball batch is complete.
The 2024 team was not as good. Lot of them are still in JF/nsw cup right now.
The 2025/2026 team is very talented and personally there is more individual talent in this team than the 2023 team.
Is Ryda, Petrus and Fletcher the best juniors we have?
to me our top 5 juniors that we have that haven't played nrl yet is Lorenzo (20), Petrus (19), Koina (19), Seuseu (16) and Popo (20). Popo hasn't played much this year due to injury but last years form puts him on this list for me. Could argue the same thing about Polley. Interested to know SB and PT top 5 juniors at the club right now.

The old fashioned "this guy came out of nowhere and playing well, let's get him" trope.
Both Su'a and LPT spent an afternoon in the off season just gone visiting a close friend of mine at his house who passed of brain cancer a week before Christmas.
Matt was a Dragons fanatic and always said LPT needed to embrace the collision more, even told him whilst he sat on his couch - all in jest.
Will never say a bad word about the pair of them for how they conducted themselves with giving their time to a fan like that.
Have the photo of the three of them saved on my phone still.
These are players we need, they are culture driven players. I'll sign watson as well, add Tago to our side as well. Winners and Heart thats what this club needs to be built on. If im Ryles ill go all in to sign Yeo or Cleary, you've got to do it for the sake of the franchise parra is built on.
If it was possible to do why haven't other rubbish teams done so? It sounds simple in theory but it just isn't and what it will take to get Yeo and Cleary here would destroy our cap. Added to that Yeo is 33 next year, how long til he declines?
