Warriors get Effective for four years

[SpaceMonkey]

Just heard that the Warriors have signed rookie prop "Mr Effective" Iafeta Paalea'asina for four years. Paalea'asina burst into the side off the bench against the Eagles in round 15, immediately proving himself to be all but unstoppable with the ball in hand. He scored tries against Parramatta and Newcastle and his fitness was rapidly improvving (he apparently lost 10kg) until he was sidelined with a ruptured spleen against the Knights.
Paalea'asina has apparently immediately been put on a modest salary package to enable him to quit his job as a scaffolder and concentrate on training, and is apparently in line for a big payrise if his form continues next season.
Paalea'asina's signature gives the Warriors a propping lineup of Ali Lauiti'iti, Jerry Seu Seu, Justin Morgan, Richard Villisanti, Mark Tookey and Paalea'asina, a front row arsenal which most clubs in the NRL would envy for itsdepth and sheer size.

we are starting to look the part for next season alright spacie.
its good for kids coming thru to see paleasina get the contract. it gives them something to aim for.the aussie players (and betts and platt) served us well, but we have the biggest nursury of raw talent in the world. the island kids will head our way instead of going to oz, so the future looks good.
the best thing to happen to the game would be a whitewash off the holier than thou all blacks by both oz and the boks.
