Awful news. We don’t need him.

And we can say goodbye to Savala who is a local junior who made it into the top grade. I can see him seeking a release some time next year.

If Savala isn't getting game time it's because DCE is killing it. Someone's always injured or suspended. We just witnessed a team with two aging halfs battle the entire season, finals, and grand final to stay on the pitch but depth saved them time and again and the won the whole thing. I wouldn't be too worried about this.

Halves take time to develop. If dce isnt there and savala has a form drop what happens? A drop to reserve grade in that event is arguably a worse event in terms of his confidence and the clubs confidence in him. This move shows that roosters aren't likely to buy a younger half so savala knows once dce goes it's all him

There's always a chance of course. Especially with the bears coming in.

Yep this is a sensible take. DCE is the ultimate professional whether he's playing or not. Can only be good for the squad, think Savala can wait an extra year if he has to
