Anybody know why Pauli Pauli was playing reserve grade against the cutters for this game. I was shocked when the teams ran out and included Pauli.

I didn't see anything mentioned anywhere that he had been dropped.

I believe the word was that he's there to work on his fitness and minutes played. Not sure where that info came from though.

I also heard it was to improve his game time. I watched the game and he played the full 80 minutes. So id guess it is the reason behind it.
They had him playing in the backrow also.

Well he is named in the team this week again, maybe Brown just sending a message of sorts? Then again, so is Jacob Saifiti who supposedly broke his wrist in the Cronulla game.

Let's be honest, Pauli is no where near fit enough to play some decent minutes and the level required.

Pauli reminds me of Mason in his last season for us- he'd come on and have instant impact for 2-3 hit ups and a few monstering tackles, then he'd be the guy struggling to get back into the defensive line a couple of tackles after he had made a tackle himself. Good for 5 minutes, a liability for the other 10-15 minutes they were on.
