WellNix owners and management need to be applauded for these signings (kartun, Singh and tuiloma).
It would jave been humbling to do a u-turn on the prior strategy of playing academy players ( Isaac Hughes probably only starter now) as this also means wont be many transfers in next 1-2 years of academy players to fund operations.
So would have been a hard pill to swallow on a number of fronts as means the business model itself is at risk.
Still- must protect the brand, fans, sponsors etc and act where needed.
Good to see that. Others may not have the humility to do so

If anything the chance to train and get minutes alongside some of the new signings can only be good for the young players.
If we do end up losing Rufer I'd be more than happy to see Lachlan Bayliss come the other way.
Gotta start somewhere to fill that hole, and while not like for like we could definitely do a lot worse. That and his current deal expires with the Jets this year too.
His brother Sebastian is already on board as an analyst/equipment manager as well, for those that didn't know.
Just spitballin' here.
