It's been said by some of us before, but I think it's high time Enari received his very own appreciation thread.
Some interesting reads from the past few days:

https://www.nrl.com/news/2020/08/18/fresh-start-reaping-rewards-for-match-winner-tuala/
Not to take away from the contributions of the rest of our back line, this guy has been a revelation for our team and he is the main reason I am not nervous anymore when opposition teams attack our edges.
If I were to define Enari by an album, it would be the Foo Fighter's 3rd release "There Is Nothing Left To Lose". That is to say he wasn't wanted at the Cowboys and the writing was on the wall. His league career was at a crossroads before it even began. Then a last chance phone call came from Adam O'Brien, nothing beyond a 1 year contract was guaranteed and he would have to up and leave everything he knew behind.
He drove 22 hours to Newcastle and like another favourite of mine Hymel Hunt, he was probably just considered depth in the beginning. He worked hard in the pre-season despite being promised nothing. Complacency wasn't an option for him.
He might not look like much. Opposition fans might sneer and say our back line outside of Ponga is rubbish. They couldn't be more wrong. Enari has played every game like it's his last, he works hard for 80 minutes, he defends well, he links up well with Ponga and he keeps us in games.
I hope Enari will have a very long and successful career at Newcastle. He deserves it.
