Papali

[ByRd]

I just wanna say that this kid is impressive, he looks the goods and looks like he has been in the league for years. A strong runner of the ball and has great footwork, really impressive so far.

 

[Jimmyson/Mullins]

Same, great young talent!

 

[Raidersrawesome]

I agree he looks to have the goods.

He also played big minutes last night which is a good sign

 

[Hoofa22]

He reminds me of a young Rubin Wiki, Fearless.
I wonder what this means for the future of Bronson Harrison? Would he be released?

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

Nah harison will remain, he actually played well last night also.

 

[schnitzel]

Harrisson to prop for the rest of the season now that he has lost his starting spot and TLL is injured

 

[AlwaysGreen]

How's this for next season: Back-row - Fensom,,Thompson and Papali with Harrison and Picker as back up Props - White & Shillington with Tilse & TLL off the bench.

That pack would eat any other side alive. All we need is a hooker.

Also got Mataora

 

[Alan Johnson]

He was immense in defence on Monday. Shutting fools down like nobody's business.

Looks like he's made of granite out there.

 

[Brimmer]

And he's just 19...This kid is gonna be a gun and has Origin Football written all over him. Only downside is....anybody else thinks he looks a lot like Hoppa Snr?

I pretty sure that I read an article that said he was a kiwi. So there wont be any SOO for him. Kiwi jumper not too far away though

He was in the junior kiwis squad last year, I'm nearly certain he's eligible for QLD though.

He's eligible for both, but has declared his allegiance to NZ.

He is like that on the field but I met him briefly last weekend and he had the most humble type of handshake (as in not that real confident hard shake) which really surprised me.

Not saying that that is any flaw but what it says to me is the young man might not even actually realise how big and strong and intimidating he is so I could see quite an improvement in him as he matures.

We need to lock this kid in for years to come!
Watching the game against the Warriors he out muscled everybody on the field including Manu!
Runs the ball strong and hits hard!
The new Rubin Wiki i believe!
