These are both good moves by the club and hope they have another one during the season / bye round.

The fox, ritchie penasini and Simmonson still arent training with the full squad.
Great comradeship with the team, the fox although doing lighter things was very vocal.
Ritchie Penasini is a monster and athletic 👻. If he can get his body right and get a good chunk of football, he'll be in fg without doubt.
Ryles is very involved in every facet whether in be attack or defence, Ryles is always in there giving players tips.
There's some very quick and fit guys in the lower grades mixing it up with 1st grade , very fast and illusive.
