Isaiah Papali’i #265

[AmericanHistoryX]

Who signed Sullivan? Who was the master mind behind that??? Lee?

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

I actually think Seyfarth has shown more on a egde then Isaiah, and he is just a stop gap option in that role. Seyfarth has shown more leg speed, more ball skill, more effort and just as good hole running. Happy to let Paps go now.

You cannot be serious right now 😂

Cue in Benny Hill's theme...

 

[Kaito]

Never heard of him , can u provide some details thanks

Me neither mate lol. Hard headed middle, better off
playing where papali'i did and runs better lines is
what I gather. Good opportunity if it comes 2 fruition.
Him and Samuela Fainu on both edges would b cool

Made 1st grade with Wigan at 18. Nothing confirmed

He said, she said. He was the most destructive forward in the game when he went to Parra. So if what you say is true, maybe the Warriors were the problem.

He was not a bum's hair of being the most "destructive forward in the game", he was bog average and only excelled at Parra because he had superstar forwards around him and a half combo who would have made Seyfarth look like an origin forward.

Agreed. Papali’i has been Adam Blair Mk2. Pathetic.

He's trash

 

[Todd Packer]

And he's the worst kind of trash.
He's trash with size and a physique that makes you think he's gonna be a wrecking ball.
Then the game starts.

Absolutely. He has looked better then Papali'i

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Absolutely. He has looked better then Papali'i

He’s not the better player though. Not even in the same realm.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

NO NO NO. He is WORLD CLASS

A good system will get the class - a system like ours will find the arse

You haven’t watched him this year I’m assuming?

 

[Todd Packer]

I've watched every game of every team.

I trust your judgement, knowing you watch a lot of SL

Not sure how you’ve come to that conclusion then. Was outstanding against KR over the weekend and had been building to that performance for a few weeks.
My understanding is that he’s signed at Wigan until 2027 but does have that NRL release clause.
Although, I wouldn’t be looking to him as someone that can come over and make an impact in first grade immediately. Would need some time in cup but I’d assume Richo would be looking for a more ready-made replacement.
Any players you’d suggest from over there?

No he probably isn't a better player, just playing better. Not even in the same realm is wrong though. He has to be if he is outperforming him.

Let’s talk again this time next year.

 

[king_sirro]

Let’s talk again this time next year.

How will that change what's happening now?

If Paps plays better at a Penrith that still doesn't negate the comparison of him and Sayfarth at the Tigers.

 

[Buttface]

I'm completely fine with this.
He hasn't impressed at all in our colours.

Hope we sign some wepps like Xavier Willison and some legit backs.

Yep, I really wanted to scream Papalii at the tv bcoz it rhymed, but I’ve only done it once!
This is unacceptable.
I’ve already screamed go young bloke about half dozen times when Sam the man Fainu gets the ball.
Sam The Man. 💪
let’s keep him happy instead.
