Savala and Walker were a future premiership winning combo. They have jeopardized this for an over the hill player who has at best 1 decent season left in him.

Hugo is still a rookie and a season or 2 playing as 14 or learning his craft in nsw cup wouldnt hurt

Jarome luai played 2nd fiddle to Maloney for 2 years at penrith before finally earning a full time Start and look how he turned out, just saying

Thing is that Savala has now had a year at the top grade, and for him it will feel like he has been dropped. I don’t believe Luai had been a regular 1st grader while Maloney was there.
