How come Papali'iii looks skinny/small but has such a huge impact? Is it all the hidden muscles?

In real life he isn't small. He's thick around the chest, shoulders and quads.

I wouldnt say he looks skinny.

I do martial arts and alot of it is intent when you come against someone bigger. If you have intent and will, it makes a big difference... Paps has that in abundance

Bump

so yeah he’s a fair player this kid huh?

We might not be able to afford him the way he is playing. Hopefully we can upgrade and extend him at end of the year

He want's to be a second rower apparently. Problem is he has no attacking game. He's solid, but doesn't have a lot of skill for a smaller forward, or the running game to punch above his weight. He'd be ok as a back up for Brown, won't start for you boys though.

It’s a good thing that @BLN2 gave us the heads up.

Give him most of Fergo’s coin and a Taubmans paint franchise

just to clarify, is a taubmans paint franchise worth much?

if it isn’t maybe BA can throw in a truck full of mount franklin to sweeten the deal!

He’s the form back rower in the comp, he’s like the f**king terminator ATM.

After his debut I mentioned it was the best I've seen from an eel maybe ever. Perhaps our best forward signing since G.Morrison or D.Pay. Deserved his own appreciation thread.

Hindy111 you picked it again.

He's not used in the middle as much either now.

I also prefer marata out wide too

Speaking of quads, Roache has some scary looking legs

 

[Chipmunk]

He'd be a significantly better and more valuable player if he could also run at spaces instead of faces.

Are his legs too big for his body???

You tell me (the photo doesn’t do the lumpiness justice)

If he was on the market right now he would be worth at least $600-650k imo. He’s probably playing even above that figure but there would probably be a little bit of reservation from clubs thinking he might be a flash in the pan/one season wonder, considering he has come from nowhere.

He is an absolute machine and still a baby, only going to get better.

I reckon 450-500k is realistic
