Squad succession

Isaiah Papali’i is a good signing for you guys. Potential to be one of those players who lifts playing outside of NZ.

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.

Watch him develop.

Sounds like it was a match made in heaven then

 

[84 Baby]

Gee that play the ball on Lussick’stry was awfully quick

 

[hineyrulz]

Undersized forwards with no skill are right up Bea Arthur’s alley, watch him try and turn him into the next Rhey Stone.

Ink has barely dried on the s8gnature, hiney is already having a whinge .... all in a days foruming

 

[Gazzamatta]

If recruiting another middle stops BAs fascination with moving skilled edge forwards into the middle then its a fantastic signing.

Ink has barely dried on the s8gnature, Gazza is already making up unfounded observations.... all in a days foruming

Just cause I know you’re interested, I didn’t copy paste, I typed it out fully

He essentially takes Taka’s spot in the squad. He’d cost less than Taka but geez, he’s a grade a f**kwit.

 

[Delboy]

Worth taking a chance on someone looking to rebuild their career, they are often the ones to work their arse off to prove their worth. Not a big risk if he’s on around the basic pay rate.

 

[hybrideel]

There is a risk if it has a negative effect on the playing group

I am shocked that he endorses the signing.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

But why would it. He's on minimum wage and I doubt the coaching staff will be cutting him slack so I don't see other players becoming disgruntled or following his lead if he is lazy. If he's not going good enough he won't be in the team.

Yep, I'd say he lacks the influence to have a negative effect. The risk is around his contract. I doubt he's on minimum salary but the upside is it's only for a year.
