I dont watch alot of Storm games unless i have nothing else to do, but was impressed with Teps game tonight.
he is off contract from what i can find, if we cant bring Papali'i home, I wouldnt mind looking to see if he would come back to us
was always a fan when he played for us, but he did seem disinterested at times, but being in the Storm system has no doubt been good for him

NRL in crisis. 35k tonight including many free tickets given away. Penrith fans are the biggest bandwagon fans in recent history and still don't show any passion.Check out the AFL. GWS vs Collingwood at a deadset jam packed MCG

I want to start by saying I dont follow any other NRLW teams social media except Parra's so I dont know how they go about their business but looking from the outside in, our girls, they only seem to care about their ridiculous TikTok videos and…

I don't think we need another middle forward when we are light on for backline depth.
As much as I like/d Tep, the Eels don't need more forwards unless they are trading some of what they already have. A strike centre/fullback/winger is where the Eels need to put their focus into.
Interestingly enough I always thought centre was Tepai's correct position as the young 18 year old brought into first grade. Before he settled in he had a shoulder injury which stopped him in his tracks as the forward we all thought he could be.
How ironic if they had stuck to keeping him where he was playing (centre in Rugby Union) he may still be there now. I think training the right edge forward in the centres is a good way to start a promising young player and blooding him into first grade, Jock Brazil and Charlie Guymer I think started in the centres and so did Doorey who I thought could have gone into the centres when we had problems there early in the season. Usually they are big enough to handle the defensive role and run lines! which is not much more than a centre does in the modern game.
If thats the best Tepai performs at the best club in the league with the best system in the league then no thanks. Another concussion and the bloke will be forced into retirement
