Dykes is on a development contract still isn't he? He'd need a special exemption to play NRL or an upgraded contract to play?
Only showing the tries, hard to tell exactly how he went (it didn't help I thought his number looked more like 7 then 1),but I thought it was the winger who dropped to bomb that lead to the Bears try? Had a couple of try assists.
Iro looked very good.
You're right it was, hard to tell but on re-watch Dykes jogs into frame afterwards.
I retract my retraction... he has typically looked good though but you're right he's not top 30 and I was only responding to his name being mentioned as a long shot anyway.
I think Iro is looking very good and might be ready to play some NRL sooner rather than later but in saying that I mostly only see highlights.
Think Tracey and Hiroti would block him getting an exemption this week.
Regarding exemptions I though round 11 was a point we didn't need them after, there have been some tweaks to these rules, but quick google gave me:
There will be no change to the size of NRL squads, but each club is allowed up to six development players they can now call on from round one and will also be allowed to call on talent with feeder teams in the NSWRL Knock On Effect Cup or Queensland’s Hostplus Cup.
So near as I can tell we actually can play any dev or Jets contracted player any time.
