Isaiah Papali’i

What a good signing he has been, definitely a leading contender for signing of the season along with Walker from the Roosters and Walsh for the Warriors just to mention a few.

He has been a massive contributor as to where we sit on the ladder and possibly our x-factor, but, I thought in recent weeks he has looked flat/tired since he has been playing maximum minutes, has anyone else noticed this?

With an easier run coming up over the next few weeks before a tough run home, is it time to give him a rest or even back off on his workload to freshen him up?

We need him to be firing come the back end of the season if we are to be a chance at giving the title a shake.

  • I think he has been looking flat during the last few games, but he is still performing well, credit to the man for his effort. I think the bye can't come anytime sooner for the boys. Also Scott, our run next few weeks won't be any easy. We're up against an inform tigers next week, followed by dogs who might be on the bottom of the ladder but they're a team we always don't perform too well against. Then we have the big test against the panthers, and I hope that we can cause another upset like last year and use that as a platform to push on during the season.

  • One of my new favourite players. All heart this bloke.

  • He has definitely looked flat the last couple of weeks. 

    Even bringing him of the bench for a few games instead of starting could be a good idea.

      • He, and our other attackers often get the ball when their not deep enough. More depth is required to provide impetus. It falls to the dummy half to pick the correct receiver.
