For a person that goes on about facts. He got 1 try and a try assist.
Probably lacking fitness.
Stags was talking about Hunter’s defence. He missed nine tackles. But I agree he is a decent attacking player. If he can fix his defence he could become a first grader. He still has time on his side. Playing reserve grade at 21 is a good sign, but Papalii is playing first grade at the same age. It’s even more impressive.
We thought so too, which is why we debuted him as a teenager and tried to keep him.
Well it maybe about to be get weirder in our last 2 x sunday arvo commbank games against Cows & Knights.
The shop window where everyone could see he couldn’t tackle? He was already on every NRL club’s radar, since at least SG Ball. That’s why he wouldn’t sign an extension. So he was off contract when he wanted to be. It had nothing to do with the PO. It’s the same reason Isaiya Katoa left Penrith. Player options and shop windows in the NRL have nothing to do with it. Every club scouts the lower grades and that’s why the Dolphins were willing to throw an NRL sized contract at Katoa. It was the same with Talagi. If we thought he was going to play NRL, so did every other club. That’s why he agreed to a PO instead of a long contract. There is high demand for these kids, and he wasn’t going to be happy sitting in reserve grade behind Dylan Brown, any more than Katoa was going to be happy waiting for Luai to leave.
We knew his best position because he played there in Harold Matts. But we needed a fullback this year, not a five-eighth.
