We've apparently managed to keep him away from Souths with a new contract and an expected spot in the 30 next year. Supposed to be a talent. Anyone know anything about him?

The Roosters have reportedly signed young gun forward Ethan Roberts on a senior deal, beating out rivals South Sydney.
The 17-year-old is highly rated with the Tricolours system and has won player of the year awards throughout the club’s junior ranks.
According to The Daily Telegraph, Roberts will join Robinson’s pre-season at the end of the year and will be eligible to join the top 30 list.
The Rabbitohs were said to be in hot pursuit of the forward in yet another transfer battle between the Sydney clubs.
Jason Demetriou’s side were said to have offered a guaranteed top 30 spot to Roberts, but the barnstorming backrower instead decided to sign a full-time deal with the Roosters.
The Rabbitohs were attempting to get one back on their rivals after snatching young flyer Joseph Suaalii prior to the 2021 season on a lucrative multi-million deal.
Meanwhile, big-name players Luke Keary and Angus Crichton have also been poached from the Rabbitohs.

Yes he is a big unit who had a great year in Harold Matthews and won the player of year award in Harold Matthews this year- see pic of him below - 2nd from the left.
All the hype was about Zach Fittler who has the makings of being a good player but Ethan was a real handfull in attack scoring 7 tries and making plenty of yardage with his carries and a very hard hitter in defence.
I hope they sign up Lachlan Dooner as well as he is another player to look out for - A tall centre who can play 5/8 and a very good goal kicker - Tedesco had a lot to do with him coming to the Roosters as he is also a Camden Rams Junior in Macathur Group 6

Keary was sacked by Crowe and Crichton played junior reps for the Roosters before going to Rugby then must have been tricked to sign with Souths
Verm officials probably met him at a Cafe on the right side of Anzac Parade - Crichton thought he was signing for the Roosters until finding out later it was with the Verm - too late to get out of the contract

I saw Reynolds crying in front of me after the game and yelled out 'WHAT ARE YOU CRYING ABOUT?!?!? GO SAY SORRY TO COOPER YOU GRUB!!!' He looked up at me with a pretty broken looking face.
