Isaiah Papali’i #265

[tig_prmz]

He's probably focused on the game ahead and nothing more

"I will be at the Tigers next year , no doubts about it" ... Not that hard to say. He's dodged the question multiple times. It could all have been over with those words. It's either that he is in the process of asking for a release or that he needs a lot of media training.

 

[diedpretty]

If he wants to go to NZ. No problem BUT
he can’t return and play for any other team for 3 years
other than that , turn up and be ready or sit and sulk for 3 years , you will be forgotten by then

I was thinking exactly the same way

 

[bathursttiger1]

I read somewhere that Madge was still trying to get Benji to the UK as part of his Kiwi coaching team.
Maybe Benji could leverage that by saying ok as long as you get Paps to come to WT fully motivated.
(Remember how Paps said things had changed with Madge no longer there).
Just a thought …

Tell him if he doesn’t come fully committed, we’ll see you in court.

We don't know what's going on in his personal life. Who knows ? maybe if he declares publicly he's coming to the Tigers for 3 years his girlfriend could leave him and/or his wife could ask for divorce.
We don't even know what's in his contract do we?
Bottom line is we wait until a week before his contract start date and ask him, with all interested parties in the room. None of these texts please? And if he doesnt want to come then shake on it and forget it.

It was "nice" comment

That's like asking the hottest girl at school out and she replies with that's nice.

I used to get 'stop following me please'

He is not being open about going to Wests tigers. Yet he signed a contract but unwilling to confirm that he is going to Wests tigers. why is it so hard for him to confirm that.

what excuse did he make up on the run?

This thread will be very interesting to read over in a couple of months

Papalii became unlikeable real fast.

 

[earl]

And if he doesnt want to come then shake on it and forget it.

I wouldn't do it this way. I'd just state give us your bank account details when you get to training.

You won't get away with beating around the bush with WTs supporters.

He did his utmost best you'd say...

Glenn Morrison bogs await, Papali'i

Well what about API , he’s in exactly the same situation but happy to talk about his move next year !
Paps is really starting to annoy me with this prima donna attitude.

got a lot to do with the club Api is at as opposed to the one iPap is at I'd say.

 

[Pascoes_barber]

Yep.

 

[Halbrowne61]

got a lot to do with the club Api is at as opposed to the one iPap is at I'd say.

I can understand that Parra probably still holding out some of keeping him, whilstvPenrith resigned to the fact that Agapi leaving, but he can’t keep using the next game focus as an excuse for a one sentence answer .
“ yes, I’m looking forward to joining the WT next year “.
It’s a smokescreen .

 

[Halbrowne61]

Lotta people wrong here

So please explain what’s going to happen.
