Will Papenhuyzen be better than Slater?

[Penrose Warrior]

Agreed
His support play ..work ethic on field & enthusiasm is as good or if not better than Billy's was at that age.
Has to wait in line as many have when it comes to rep jerseys ..but when he finally gets it ...it's his till retirement or injury finish his career.

I'll also say as a one eyed QLDER.
No way we would have won SOO#3 last year if Pap came off the bench .
A masterstroke for Qld by Adolph to not have him there .
He wins games ....& would have prob won that game for NSW .

Absolutely. You'd have to think he'd be in the 14 this year, just as Slater started his SOO career. Potentially devastating coming off the bench late in halves/games and exposing tired forwards around the ruck. Spose the only issue is being on the other side to Munster as opposed to feeding off him

The only issue is who covers the 9. You just know that it won't be Tedesco getting concussion this time, it'll be Cook, especially if they don't make provision for it.

Slater started on the wing, by the way.

Impossible to tell at this stage. Will he be able to adapt as well as Slater did when he naturally lost his biggest weapon in speed? Only time will tell. But if you compare both fullbacks at the same stage of their careers it's pretty damn even.

Yep both at the start of their careers were brilliant ballrunners ...support players But little ball playing skills
BS developed over time same decent ballplaying skills....
Can't see why Pap can't do The same
