  • Nice, he does fit the type of forward Ryles seems to want. Good player with a lot to give. He came through the COVID years so a lot of those players are late bloomers in their development and Moretti is one. 25 this year so has a lot of years left. Can play on an edge too if desperate.

  • That's a good re-signing he is the new age forward type the club needs and is happy to be an eel and wants to stay it's a  pitty a few others at the club didn't have the same attitude 

  • Good news. I think Luca will.be a mainstay in the top 17. Coming off the bench he always brings high energy.  Ryles must really like his attitude towards training to have signed him long term 

    • I think he has to force his way into the top 17, he is not there yet!

  • Not bad. Cant fault his effort and intensity, got a lot of improvement to go with it aswell

  • I like this, moretti brings energy and toughness onto the field when he comes on, he seems a bit raw at times but I think you can put that down to trying to cement a spot in the 17. At 24 he is just starting to come into the good age range for a forward,  at the very least he is a good depth signing but I reckon he is a genuine first grader.

  • Has earnt it the hard way so will appreciate the opportunity. 

  • Good depth re-signing. 

  • This is a good re-signing. He has the right attitude (all effort) and now's it's up to him on how far he can take it.

  • He looks like he has trimmed down?
