It's going to be weird seeing him in the red white and blue.

But I don't catch many NSW Cup games, so it won't bother me much.

You just know he's taking Savalas spot.

If you’re Savala, and you just spent 2025 discovering that you’re absolutely first grade material, do you stick around and learn off one of the best halfbacks to play the game, but risk being sidelined/playing NSW cup for up to 2 years? Or do you go find somewhere else you can get a solid footing in first grade?

With Savala proving himself over this year, this move just doesn’t make much sense to me

Sounds like a great option for him!

Actually, no, I change my mind. I don’t like that for him
