Many players were picked in the latest DSFL Draft, considering this was one of the largest, if not the largest, draft class in NSFL history. The 244th overall pick, Julio Tirtawidjaja, was drafted by the Tijuana Luchadores. They probably weren't expecting much, considering this player was barely active. Tirtawidjaja replied Luchadores GM Bagel's message 10 minutes before he put in the pick for him. But they knew the Luchadores got a steal when a media piece dropped by Tirtawidjaja gained excellent reviews. Tirtawidjaja soon showed his presence in the community and continued being active prior, throughout, and after the draft, adding more TPEs to his stats.
The Luchadores' have an abundance of choice in their running back stable. With returning starter Wombat playing another year of DSFL football with the Luchadores, they also picked Richard Gilbert before picking Tirtawidjaja. The back up to Wombat was guaranteed to be for Richard Gilbert but, Tirtawidjaja still has a chance to play and contribute for the team on the field. As evident in the Luchadores' narrow loss to the Grey Ducks, Tirtawidjaja's sole carry for 9 yards went for a touchdown that tied the game to 16-16. Although he only had one carry for no gain in the blow out win against the Royals, Tirtawidjaja's role for this season seems to be a reliever for either Wombat and Richard Gilbert. With his hands and agility, Tirtawidjaja could also become an additional target for the quarterback to extend playing drives.
