Completely. I'm really hopeful for Nonggorr.

Along with De Lutiis I've got my eye on George Blake who at least has some exposure to pro rugby. He'll likely be 4th in line this year, but IO can't imagine that all three in front of him will continue to 2026.

I think it's important to continue the development pathways at the same time that some form of consolidation is required with the ex-Rebel in-take.

I think Trevor King is another to keep an eye on.
Blake seems to be seen as a backup prop\hooker hybrid the past couple of seasons.

Re: Nonggorr possibly moving to LHP.

It wasn’t that long ago that Sio & Slipper shared the Brumbies gig and it seemed to me they were pretty happy with the arrangement. I know Sio eventually left but I always got the impression that had more to do with him dropping out of the Wallabies squad and so losing some market value. Maybe those inside the Brumbies camp have a bit more insight.

I feel like props are a bit happier to share time than most of the others. Ideally you want quality on the bench to be able to make the swap between 40 & 50 minutes in.
