In a move that could be described as a real "try-scoring blitz," the Canberra Raiders have secured a rising star fullback from the sunny state of Queensland.
Sylas Simon, who lit up the field for the Norths Devils and earned the prestigious title of Mal Meninga Cup Player of the Year, is being hailed as the next Reece Walsh in the making.
Considered one of Queensland's most promising talents, Simon had caught the eye of not just the Brisbane Broncos, but also the Raiders and Dolphins.
With the ability to dazzle both as a fullback and a winger, this young gun, known for his distinctive rattail hairstyle, made waves at the Wynnum-Manly Seagulls, where he had scouts drooling over his potential.
According to the folks over at Code Sports, Simon has made his play and chosen the Raiders as his new home, signing on the dotted line for an NRL contract starting next season.
It looks like the nation's capital is about to witness some serious speed and skill on the field, as this talented youngster brings his A-game down south.
