[Tookey 2.0]

He has played 73 SL games for Leeds Rhino and is now in our top 30. Why is he a development project? Plenty of great players coming through our pathways that we can develop.

Theres clearly a bit of excitement about Gannon and what he could be for our team, but at the moment it's fair enough to say that no one really knows how he's going to go.

There have been far shitter English prospects come to the NRL and go well, while there's been some big names who have come and shit the bed, so we're not going to know what this looks like until we're able to see how he fits in with our team.

Fair enough some are saying wait and see, and fair enough that some think he's ready to start in FG from day one.

I'm quite excited about where he fits in and how he'll go, especially in his first year. Hell certainly get his opportunities. I personally think he'll go well, and if injuries permit I have a feeling he'll be entrenched in the 17 at the end of 2026

Yes I would imagine that Webby and cappy have done their homework and he must have a good work ethic
