Young Papenhuyzen is an Eels Junior. He is growing a leg every time he plays. Ex Australian schoolboy and is electric. He wouldn’t cost $750k to bring him back.

"Bias? You obviously have not seen me comment here over the years mate. It's a trial. First hit out. Penisini had some great runs and Kautoga was great in contact. Tuilagi dropped balls too, so did Tuivaiti. Why not say them as well?

"I think Pezet is going to be a very very good 7. I don't know how he's going to go playing 6 and playing 2nd fiddle to Moses. I guess we'll know soon enough "
"Good signs and I know it's a trial but too many mistakes and WAY TOO MANY 6 agains."

He was never an Eels junior. He was a Tigers junior. He grew up in the Hills area.
But I agree, he’s a gun and a deadset champion bloke. A total professional too, takes his job seriously, is smart and an excellent trainer.
We should be making enquires as he’s behind Hughes and Drinkwater at the Storm.
Muttman he played Juniors for both Hills and Rouse Hill before going to the Tigers
I get what you’re saying but he never wanted to be an Eel. His family aren’t Eels fans and they deliberately chose the Tigers. The Storm approached him with an offer. It was a thorough interview process including Bellamy having dinner with his parents etc. The Eels were never in his sights. Ever.
However who knows now. He’s now a first grader and is stuck behind Hughes. Maybe.
Your correct there Muttman but it’s still disappointing. He probably would have struggled to get a start in junior reps at the Eels given his size. Not big enough for the Eels.
Pretty spotton baulko, our junior development program have that mentality. We sign the big boopers who excel up until the u20s the flunk when played against man when they can’t simply run over the top of opposition. We can rant about how we don’t give our juniors a go but what’s the bigger concern is we don’t retain/mentor the right players
Mutt was his mum a high school teacher? I ask because it's not a common surname and was taught by a Mrs P about 25 years ago in the Hills area
Yep.
The mind boggles as to why a bloke like this is playing at the storm and not the eels.
Because we suck?
He wouldnt have turned out this good if we has with the parra junior culture...growing up waith players like kaysa pritchard etc. partying at Albions. Sometimes you have to accept the storm culture instils professionalism and discipline to make the player play like they do.
