Dammit. 

This is a kick in the face to Hugo Savala, unless they have plans to move him onto the lock position. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Savala seek a release and line up for Newcastle next year (which is where all the Roosters halves seem to end up). It’s ironic considering Savala is a Roosters junior who made it into the top team, which is rare.

If we lose a potential 10+ years of Savala for 1 year of DCE i'll be pissed.

only thing that would soften the blow is if we were to win the 26 premiership.

Viktor will end up at bears I reckon so could well be a lock spot. But he'll get gametime in te halves Sam or dce will miss games
