Neame will join North Queensland's Top 30 squad with immediate effect following his new deal with the club, which he joined via their New Zealand Academy.
Price's two-year deal will be spilt between the development squad and the senior squad as he will move onto the development list for this from now until the end of next season before joining the Top 30 from 2023.
Speaking to the club website, North Queensland football boss Michael Luck praised the promising trio and expressed his excitement for their future.
โThere has been a lot of noise made about what weโre doing at the senior end of our roster, at the same time weโve been working really hard to ensure weโre locking up our best young players,โ Cowboys Head of Football Michael Luck said.
โWe believe Ben, Griffin and Riley are three of the best forwards of their age group.
โWeโre excited to have Riley join our Development List this year, which will give him a head start on his development.

โWeโve seen Ben already on the NRL stage. Heโs big and raw and weโre confident in another couple of years he can be one of the better versatile forwards in the NRL.
โGriff is receiving his first taste of senior football this year, but heโs got some special tools for a young front-rower.โ
The Cowboys will face the Roosters this weekend for Magic Round, with Condon named on the interchange for the clash.
