Here's a summary:
## Key Points
1. Parramatta Eels' Joash Papalii is set to make his starting debut in the No.6 jersey against the Titans.
2. The opportunity arises due to suspensions/injuries to key players Dylan Brown and Mitch Moses.
3. Dean Hawkins will start at No.7.
4. Papalii has played 3 games as an interchange player and has experience playing in the halves at NSW Cup level.
5. Teammate Zac Lomax praises Papalii, saying he's "light on his feet" and "trains really well."

He's worth 1 mill + but sounds like he's very settled in new z. He's actually only played 34 first grade games due to injuries so he's probably not the safest buy. I'm sure plenty of 5/8s we don't know about will be available it's all happening behind the scenes
Lorenzo talataina is future 6 not only strong in attack but hold own defensive
Bingo!
Fuck I feel sorry for Lomax considering how this is unfolding , signs with us thinking we are one or two key players off being a title threat. Fast forward and he's playing under a coach on his L plates , Moses is on constant annual leave , we have no 5/8 locked in , nor even a glimpse of anyone decent coming, and he should be getting another 25% on his salary.
He could've stayed put , been a local hero , stay beachside , and be in a shit team without the massive commute obligation. And yet , he puts in week in week out.
yeah nobody suffers more than us fans , but he's gotta be a very close second.,
I don't consider it suffering, as fans we can do what we want to i.e. walk away if you like.
That said I agree about Lomax, those thoughts have been going through my head since the first game. I cannot criticise him just the same, his effort has been fantastic.
Finally we have fine beaches on the Parramatta River, Little Cogee and fly fishing under the lennox bridge, why would you want to be in "smog" ridden Illawarra with the broken sewerage system, terrible local facilities, no International airport, religious extremist's, not to mention the climate, I hear its snowing at the blow hole .....yes it is tough on Lomax at present but he is living in a winter wonder land and looking forward to our resort style summer activities at Kellyville, just a resort away from Cumberland Oval. Home of the Benaud's and Doug Walters.
Sorrry Wiz, what does "hyperbole" mean again.
