I think we see Iongi as our long term fullback
Agree. I think if we were looking at KP it would be as a 6. Obvious issues with the salary and the amount of time he has spent on the sidelines the last few years. But would be a great partner to Moses. He hasn't ever really had a quality 7 next to him at newcastle

Iongi = backup in 2024 , first grader in 2025
Excellent point that dispels the Poupou theorum that NRL players are locked into a rigid classification of backup players vs 1st graders.

The Poupou Theorum hasn't allowed for a scale or spectrum of talent evolving and or devolving as, in your example , Iongi was a backup who is now not only a 1st grader but one of potential elite status.

Counterpoint that further dispels the Poupou Theorum would be Chad Townsend, once 1st grader premiership winner turned journeyman now a backup on the cusp of retirement.

I think we can categorically state that the Poupou Theourm has been proven invalid.

What did he say? I was thinking after your post that the Scum's 2009 premiership also featured a convicted child sex offender.
He said Finch was our highest paid player and then Storm signed him after we let him go despite being over the cap which allowed GI to move to left centre which allowed them to unlock there attack which had been missing strike power which they were after losing Israel Folau from the previous season..

He made the point Finch set up the first try and we lost by 7 points.

Stick around here long enough and you realise that nothing Pou has ever posted contains any intellectual sincerity or honesty - he's just a contrarian troll who says the opposite of what anyone says to make himself feel "smarter" than everyone else.

I am liking Jarryd's social media posts atm no holds barred says it how it is.

He said the Storm must have rested 16 players like the panthers the other night which was quite funny.

I think its time the club hand him the life membership he actually deserves.

And actually put a photo of him back up somewhere in the leagues club on one of the walls in there.


He is one of our greatest players after all since the 1980s if not the greatest.

I get why during the court cases the club basically cancelled him to an extent.

But now its all over i think it's time to acknowledge & recognise him again.
I think it is racist not to have him up beside Sterlo, Kenny, Hindmarsh and Price. Maybe we need to get a petition going.

Also risking his own life to save that girls life while she was drowning at Bondi. Off the booze he is as good an Eel as there has been.
I must have missed that one so looked it up seeing as this is a fact based site of pure scientific objectivism:


Jarryd Hayne being one of NRL's greatest players ever and quantifiably top bloke scientifically proven (on OR off the turps makes no difference).
