We are playing on Sunday and based on last year I think Lomax is definitely backing up so he will go to the wing with Samrani on his inside. I hope Papalii still keeps a bench spot.

That try he scored, Penisini in the same situation would have dropped the ball or gets bundled into the sideline. Papalii had that extra speed and vision to step back in and went low for the try line. That's natural footy instinct Penisini doesn't have.
I'm not concerned with Papalii's defence. Penisini isn't the greatest either. This young kid needs to be in the 17 each week, and if it means taking either Penisini or Russell's spot, I'm OK with that.
Sure, why not. I liked his enthusiasm and the kid is a goer. He really showed me he is better suited to FG than i thought he would be. Defence could be an issue, size doesn't help. But defence can be coached.
"Yes there are many great signs and we have been playing well for over a month even the losses to the Dolphins and Sharks were not bad. However we cant deny how poor Manly were and Jake helped us out a lot and too a lesser extent an injured and down…"

I'd like to know what Ryles intends to do with him next week. Assuming everyone returns from Origin fit and healthy.
Would be interesting considering Penisini out with Cat 1
Thank god.. Taken out of the coaches hand we looked better still need to get his partner in crime out of the team Russel geez he's special!
Kid is too good to be left out. Gotta find a spot for him.
Penisini will miss next week, 11 day stand down. More likely Samrani stays at Centre, leaving a bench spot for Papali'i.

That's what I had in mind for him and the reason I was excited to see him make his debut.
