Zane Tetevano signs a one-year deal

[Nexus]

The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs is pleased to announce the signing of veteran forward, Zane Tetevano.

The 33-year-old rejoins the NRL on a one-year deal with the Club, with General Manager of Football Phil Gould welcoming him to Belmore today: "Zane is a highly respected senior player who will bring leadership and work ethic to our group."


The International prop started his career at the Newcastle Knights, relocating from New Zealand as a teenager to join their pathways. He made his NRL debut in 2011 for the Knights before spending three seasons at the Roosters where he played in their 2018 Grand Final win. He then joined Penrith on a two-year deal before being granted a release to join the Leeds Rhinos. In all, Tetevano played over 120 games in the NRL.

Internationally, Tetevano has represented the Cook Islands on ten occasions as well as having made three Test appearances for New Zealand.

Tetevano was released from Leeds last year on medical grounds but has since passed a fitness test to take up the deal at Canterbury. The new recruit commenced training with the Bulldogs squad earlier today.

No shit.. Should be beyond desperate at this stage, We still another 1-2 props for depth.

 

[Bad Billy]

Meh, experience and depth.
it’s not like we’re paying him $1m/season.
so long as he’s passed a medical, I’m happy to wait and see how it plays out?

 

[King Gus]

Hope he doesn’t break

Gus said he is top 30, does that mean we've got Jackson Tapout off the books now?

Thought you’d approve of signing. Premiership winner, experienced prop. Good to have around the younger players, even if just at training

Think was like ten years ago, has played for multiple clubs since then.

Yeah. I didn't realize it was as long ago as it was tbh. Regardless, there was a fair bit of stalking/intimidating behaviour over a few months. Not good at all.
