I think this guy is going to be big for us and deserves his own thread.

Pole: Grateful and blessed

How this Victorian product became the most underrated player in the NRL

In the hyper-focused world of the modern NRL, it's hard for any player to be truly underrated. Still, Fonua Pole, the sterling young forward the Wests Tigers found at the edge of the rugby league universe, is finding a way to do it.

Just read the article Captain A, had a laugh in relation to Stefano U, where he said.

"We train a lot together, I've picked up on his habits and we're building a good combination," Pole said.

"That contributes a lot, learning off the big boppers like Klem (David Klemmer) and Stef, that's helping me show my game.

"We do a lot of extras and we focus on details. Everything we do, on the field or in the gym, we always compete against each other and that gets the buzz going."

So Stef then leaves it in the gym, perhaps Fonua should get up his mate during the game.

I just listened to Benji talking about Pole on the coaching insider. He said they are looking to extend him. I reckon he should be our first priority.
