Montoya joins Vodafone Warriors on two-year deal
Bulldogs outside back Marcelo Montoya has been confirmed as the Vodafone Warriors' sixth signing for the 2021 NRL season.www.warriors.kiwi
“Marcelo would be one of the most impressive players I’ve interviewed and brings a great training ethic. We have a fantastic person joining our club.
Is Owen Glenn back doing the interviews?
Ref
He's had his moments here and there.
But by and large did not appeal to me much.
Didn't think we really needed any experienced depth in the outside backs when we already have Ken, Fusitua, Ratuva, Hiku, Perham, Aitken, Pompey, Berry, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck who could all cover center or wing if needed.
We can only hope that his best is yet to come and he was pretty bloody cheap.
Hoping he is like Murchie who came with no raps and improved amazingly or go back twenty years to Justin Murphy who came not highly rated.

Admittedly he’s probably not a signing to get excited about, but we’ve squeezed some use out of players in similar situations like Ayshford and Jonno Wright. I would have put Jennings in the same category as Montoya before he played for us as well.
He’s probably around the same level as Herbert, which he’s basically a straight swap for. This is where you have to trust O’Sullivans judgement which is usually pretty good.

Trust me he will struggle to make the Redcliffe side.

This year yet?

Looks fairly stock standard finishing in “defence is optional” Holden cup. Not a huge amount more

Hope Montoya goes well and still has his speed. Can’t think of many of our backs that have the gas to score a long distance try. Think Jennings showed we’ve been missing speed.

Hope they are, otherwise we'll have to hope Montoya turns into the next Manu, he's got hands just like him apparently.

Top 4 players absolutely. To suggest that the bottom 4, including two youngsters who are yet to debut are 'in front' of a player who has played twice the amount of NRL as they have collectively is a stretch...

Canterbury-Bankstown and Fiji Bati outside back Marcelo Montoya is joining the Vodafone Warriors on a two-year deal to the end of the 2022 NRL season.
The 24-year-old Lautoka-born Montoya is the club’s sixth acquisition for the 2021 season following the earlier signings of Ben Murdoch-Masila (Warrington), Kane Evans (Parramatta), Euan Aitken (St George Illawarra), Addin Fonua-Blake (Manly Warringah) and Sean O’Sullivan (Brisbane).
“Marcelo is a big, fast and powerful athlete who gives great depth to our outside backs,” said Vodafone Warriors recruitment manager Peter O’Sullivan.
“He is a very good yardage player and is an accomplished try scorer proven at NRL level.
“Marcelo would be one of the most impressive players I’ve interviewed and brings a great training ethic. We have a fantastic person joining our club.”
Named the Bulldogs’ 2017 rookie of the year after scoring 12 tries in 19 games, Montoya has gone on to make 54 first-grade appearances. He was used on the wing in 2017 and 2018 but has started in the centres in all but four of his last 21 appearances.
“I’ve long been a fan of Marcelo and really look forward to coaching him,” said Vodafone Warriors head coach Nathan Brown.
“He is keen to improve as a player and has the desire and ethic we are looking for at the Vodafone Warriors.
“Marcelo can play wing and centre equally as well and is great under the high ball.
“He will provide competition to the outside back positions in our squad and we believe we can help take his game to a new level as he gets a fresh start at our club.”
Montoya has the distinction of being the only player of South American heritage to appear in the NRL’s 112-year history.
Of Chilean heritage on his father’s side, he began his career against his new club in the first and only NRL match played at Dunedin’s Forsyth Barr Stadium, marking it with a try in the Bulldogs’ 24-12 victory over the Vodafone Warriors.
He had a prolific NYC under-20 career scoring 36 tries in 46 matches from 2014 to 2016.
After making his international debut in 2016, Montoya was in the Fiji side which stunned the Kiwis 4-2 in Wellington in the quarter-finals of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.

Haven't been able to find anything to say Montoya contract has been extended but he is listed in the top 30 as 2023 so I can only assume the club had a one year option that they took up...
