[L.B]

Wasn’t sure whether to post this in rumours or here but figured I’d post it anyway.

Great move.

He will feature in FG some time next year.

I haven’t had the pleasure of watching him yet. What’s his position?

Regardless I’m just glad Gus is going back to what we’re known for best, bred not bought

bred and bought a good mix together

I haven't seen him play much but he's been playing big minutes at prop in reserves.

Well I guess the RCG rumours can be put to bed then?

Better to be underhill than over the hill..

Or under the sod...

I read the contract is just development for the next 2 years so not top 30. I don’t keep up with whether or not development contracts can play in first grade at any point in the season though

I think Development players can play from round 1 but those on train and trial deals can't play before round 11

Gus is such a good operator. A two year train and trial deal is Gold for a kid like this, for two reasons, you have plenty of time to find out if this kid has the physical and mental fortitude to cut it in the NRL, and it costs the club fuck all to find out.

The issue on the kennel will be he’s not RCG

TK is always going to have an issue with something…

Gotta start locking these kids up before the new teams are able to open their cheque book. Good signing in my opinion well done to the club and Jack. Few more to follow I’m sure.

Congrats to Underhill for his upgrade

If we sign RCG there will be issues that he's RCG for a vocal portion here. Too old, not aggressive enough, don't like the moustache.

What he said ...

Wow that is great news. He is a real goer and pound for pound the real deal. With the blonde hair though NO “on the fourth”

 

[doggieaaron]

Gus is going down this path with most positions moving forward and saving our money chest for if a good player suddenly is on the lookout ,i think we will have 2 props come good next year

 

[Dogs4eva13]

Was really impressed with this kid had a crack all year in cup despite what was going on around him, held his own against some very strong packs with lots of NRL experience like Canberra etc.

Why waste 600k-800k on RCG when you can develop two for the price of one.

Another youngster that will hopefully bulk up with a good pre season. Looks willing in the middle and held his own in NSW Cup

Along with Todd and Hayes, these 3 are the fruits of our pathways production line

If we aren't after any middles for next year, I'm really hoping DSF comes out breathing fire next year. He has the body shape, size and aggression we need to take that 1st hitup and get the team on the front foot

We have alot of "workers" in the forwards but need that big aggressive alpha to match it with bigger packs in the middle
