Cabramatta have acquired the services of two quality players with the recent signing of former Cronulla fringe First Grade halfback Andrew Dallanano and Balmain Tigers forward Jamie Small for the 2009 Jim Beam Cup season.
Both players have agreed to terms and offer the Club plenty of experience, with Dallanano sure to replace the void left by incumbant halfback Luke Branigan who recently signed with English Super League Club Gateshead. Dallanano, who already has 7 first grade games to his name, comes to the Club in good form after being named the Illawarra District A Grade player of the year for his performances at Berkley.
The Blues also look set to lose promising young fullback Sammy Aiga who has been signed by Cronulla as a back-up to Brett Kearney, although Aiga is certain to return to Cabramatta should the new deal not work out. On a more positive note, Jim Beam Cup Forward of the Year and Players Player from 2008 season, Casey Ellis, has resigned with the Club for 2009, along with class forwards Albert Tuara, Ross Brown and Chris Yates.
