Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Parra have also signed Joash Papallii and Jordan Samrani from the dogs, two talented young backs. Papalii very highly rated coming through the grades and junior rep footy.
Joash Papali'i in particular is a great get for Parra. Quite surprised he left to be honest. Connor Tracey is hardly a road block at fullback and he has Iongi to compete with at Parra who is a similar age.
 
maybe because he's an overweight unfit player who needs to focus on improving for the team who's paying his salary. don't mind seeing the back of him. and let's be fair jack de bellin is an international for PNG, doesn't really mean a lot these days.
Seriously, the guy is so far from overweight these days. He was carrying puppy fat when he came through the grades. It isn't a crime and it isnt his fault he was offered a top-30 contract. There are almost no 19 year old forwards who are NRL-ready but he was fine in KOE, especially for his age. He'll be an NRL player and a pretty decent one at that.

Is it a crime? No
Is it his fault? No
Is it a problem to have a top 30 player who is unlikely to contribute when your forwards are very weak? Yes.
