Quote Jrrhino="Jrrhino" Vuniyayawa is a smart signing by club imo he's young and wanting to prove himself and he's only here on a initial 1 year deal if he works out and he plays well he can earn himself a contract extension but if he's poor then we can let him go.'"
And gives us an extra year to try and source a more experienced NRL middle for 2022 if he doesn’t work out.
It’s probably a calculated gamble on the clubs’ part and possibly is indicative of the lack of real quality overseas middles available this close to the start of the season? (That are willing to come over to COVID UK) At least we seem to have learnt from the Achurch mistake and not given him a 3/4 year deal from the outset.
if he doesn’t settle or proves a dud we look elsewhere and have more time to sort something out. If he proves to be a hit we extend his deal (also you’d think/hope that as he’s only just broken into 1st grade this last season with only 5 games that he shouldn’t be ‘breaking the bank’ on our salary cap.
