I seen him play today for Knights NYC and hear he went well in Round one also.
Wait until he has some more training under the belt.

He is genuine NRL potential and definately a good pickup for the knights.
Has all the talent in the world and will pick up a NRL contract by the end of the year imo.

Could offer more than some bench forwards used by Knights NRL squad over past round/years.

A gun junior prop from Auckland.
He was junior rep star originally signed with Storm and went to QLD school.
Came home cause of ilness in the family.(think his dad passed)
Signed up with the Warriors and was in their 2010/2011 NYC squad.

However he fells of the rails a little and rarked up team mgmt.
got cut/blacklisted by the warriors.

Played senior club footy past two years in Akld and shone/dominated when he applied himself.
Im glad somebody has taken a punt on him.

He has NRL potential IMO.
Very mobile and very skillful. Not lazy or anything more rought around the edges.
Likes to play standoff sometimes lol.

He's looked great in the opening two games that's for sure. He and Sims both look like genuine prospects.

He seemed to pop up in the squad out of nowhere. Ive been trying to get some more info on him. Thanks for the write up. I was impressed with his performance against the dragons.

Looks like a beast and a skillful one at that.

Him and Sims would be the form front row partnership in the NYC after two rounds I'd say.

If these guys keep playing like this, we will be monstering sides like the Broncos did a couple of years ago when they had a pretty super forward pack (with guys like Tariq Sims and Josh McGuire carving up)

Vaivai today - 11 runs for 133m, 6 tackle breaks, 3 offloads, 11 tackles, 1 missed, 0 ineffective

VaiVai played very well last night, he's quite dynamic and first shirk the hard work either. When he and Sims come off we turn to shit

I thought over the last the last couple of games he has outshone Korbin and definitely looks much fitter since the beginning of the year.
