The Mole: Former Melbourne winger Isaac Lumelume secures a new club in Sydney​

By The Mole 21st Dec 2021

A family crisis is set to land the Bulldogs the signature of powerhouse Storm winger Isaac Lumelume.

The Fijian international's father lives in Sydney and was recently diagnosed with brain cancer. To their credit, the Storm immediately released Lumelume on compassionate grounds so he could be closer to his dad.

Lumelume has been training with the Bulldogs but unable to officially sign on because the club's roster of 30 players has been full.

But Nick Cotric's move back to Canberra has opened a space in the club's ranks and Lumelume is expected to be given a contract after the Christmas break.

With the strength of the Storm backline, Lumelume has played just six games since making his debut late in the 2020 season. But the speedy Fijian has three tries in those six games and will be a handy addition to the Bulldogs' ranks.

Must have been on a train and trial deal or something previously.

Not good for Lumelumes father and hope he can have a successful recovery.
