Isaiah Papali’i #265

[Vicious]

Penrith turning Papali'i into a world beater would piss me off greatly. So it will probably happen

He’d be back to his best instantly if playing at the Panthers.
I don’t think he’s been bad for us to be honest, way more impact than Bateman.
If we are offloading Papali’i, keeping Bateman and not signing any decent replacement, we will simply get worse than we already are.

 

[weststigerman]

The fact that he is no loss says more about us than him.

Don’t know who is available to improve our squad with Ice’s money, it sure as hell isn’t Tony Sukkar.

I’d let Bateman go before him but I guess he’s a lot harder to move.

 

[the enforcer.]

I wonder if this will impact on Utoikamanu staying.

 

[Roar_Power]

Surely they have a decent replacement ready to go. Benji can’t afford a poor squad for too many seasons.

Given that Bateman is VC that shows he is rated at the club. Bateman is most likely here until the contract is up in 26.

Seyfarth is a senior 😂

In roster position...yes

 

[king_sirro]

Be surprised if Richo & Co haven't already got a replacement in mind and maybe already locked in

Not a bad suggestion, anyone know how he’s been going in the UK ?

I believe he was being sarcastic.

Heart never in it, amateur hour if we haven't lined up his replacement already.

Was never utilized to his strengths.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

It's no secret i'e not been a fan of Papali'i but i do find it odd we're letting him go without a trade in the offing.
From moment one the bloke regretted signing with us i'll be glad to see the back of him actually, i just hope we have something else on the go.

That doesn’t give me great confidence we’ll utilise his replacements strengths either.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Maybe back to Parra ?

 

[Gazman]

We are at the bottom of the tree and the players that have kept us there decide to leave and we are surprised. I am sure outside of API the other big name flops we had have seen it as their retirement strategy over the years

Maybe back to Parra ?

They are in a bigger mess than we are but he was playing football when he was there

He played his best footy running off Moses so maybe there’s been some chat between them. I’m sure they’d take him back, it’s just wether he wants to go back to the future.

A swap for Joffa would be good as he wanted to stay here

swap for a player they let go 😂

Curious as to which player Benji & Richo are now looking at for his replacement.

They probably have a plan in the background.

Yep probably someone from our pathways 😂 we need to see a replacement of first grade quality and rep quality or you loose , he just needs a rocket
