Akauola to play overseas next season

[RL The greatest game]

Sitaleki Akauola: Warrington Wolves sign Penrith Panthers prop on two-year deal - BBC Sport

Relief for some cap space.

 

[Thirsty Panther]

Shame, but we cant keep them all.

He added some impact coming off the bench.

 

[chrisD]

That's fine. Offered some inspiration but ultimately his maximum effort runs ended in him getting dropped on the same blade of grass he hit the defence on. Then he'd get molested until the defenders grew bored and let him play the ball. And he had costly mistakes in him.

So you at least rate him more than RCG

 

[chrisD]

You can't rate forwards by the intensity of the faces they pull and how hard they run before the line. It's what happens next that matters.

 

[Fangs]

Is on track to become the first Rugby League player to actually kill someone in a game of football. His runs are almost scary to watch at times.

Good luck to him.

 

[chrisD]

More likely to kill himself than anyone else.

He wouldn't be on much. It'd be a case of replacing someone not part of our future plans in our top 30 with someone who is.

Does anyone remember that 'near miss' he made in the last game of 2016? He attempted a tackle on a Canberra player off the kick-off. If the collision actually occurred it would have been extremely nasty.

Umina and Chris D, thanks for making me laugh

Yes I absolutely remember that. I think it was in the second half. I was legitimately worried he'd make contact and kill the Canberra player and get sent off

Good for one burst off the bench. Shame he couldn't built it up for 2.
Helped us a lot last year of the bench into our charge to the finals. I remember him flooring a Bronco late last year in our win up their. Can't remember who it was he knocked down but it was a kick start we needed in the 2nd half.
I wish him well in the ESL.
