Exciting youngster Nicho Hynes as well as halfback Ryley Jacks and prop Darryn Schonig have signed contract extensions with Melbourne for the 2021 NRL season.
Hynes made his debut last season and has shown his versatility this year, filling in as fullback, five-eighth, centre and back-up hooker across his six games in 2020.
Back at Storm this year after one season with Gold Coast, playmaker Jacks is just four games short of reaching 50 NRL games, including 33 for Melbourne.
Hard-running Schonig, who made his debut in round nine, came through the Sunshine Coast Falcons Queensland Cup pathway.
“We have seen the great value Ryley offers to Storm during the chances he has received this year,” said Storm Football Manager Frank Ponissi.
“Nicho and Darryn are also showing the potential that we identified in them when we first brought them into the top-30 squad last year.
“They both played great roles off the bench against Manly, giving us big minutes in what was a very pleasing win for the club.”
