If Kepaoa ends up winning a premiership with Penrith then that will do me.

Got curious to see how old mate AJ is doing. Top part are his stats for the magpies and bottom part for the Panthers. For context, Panthers are only mid table in NSW Cup. Rumours are that he's in the NRL side this week. Never rated him, but it's amazing what getting out of this hell hole does for you.
I would assume this week he will be second row. That is when you will get a better comparison.

He's been playing centre/wing and scoring tries at will. He's running harder than he ever did for us, steamrolling his opponents. That said, I wouldn't want him back. He was a lazy slob with poor hands and discipline.
Yeah thats fine mate. I wouldn't know as I havent been watching them. I was merely saying you can't compare his stats for playing there at centre and wing to here as a 2nd rower.
Out of curiosity, has his handling and discipline improved?

I wish him well. If the Penrith system can develop him better at this stage of things sobeit. Many here did not want to keep him.

Lacked football IQ ... If Cleary can coach that into him in 2 months he is a genius
An NRL player from across the ditch has admitted to speeding 40km/h over the speed limit on a main thoroughfare in southwest Sydney without being allowed to be behind the wheel in Australia.
Penrith recruit Asu Johnathan Kepaoa appeared in Campbelltown Local Court on Tuesday where he pleaded guilty to speeding more than 30km/h over the limit and driving after driver visiting privileges had been withdrawn.
Documents tendered in court state the 24-year-old, who is yet to make his debut for the four-time reigning premiers, was busted shortly after 10am on Thursday, September 19.
Kepaoa was behind the wheel of a Audi Q5 on the Hume Motorway at Woodbine when the cops detected him racing at 150km/h in a 110km/h zone.
Documents state Kepaoa was pulled over without incident and returned a negative roadside alcohol breath test.
Kepaoa, who was born in Auckland, handed over his New Zealand driver’s licence with subsequent police checks revealing his driver privileges had been withdrawn on September 4 until he was issued a NSW or interstate licence.
Documents state Kepaoa acknowledged to police he was going 150km/h, but when asked about his driving privileges he claimed the “period has finished”.
Kepaoa made his NRL debut in 2020 with Wests Tigers where he played 44 games, scoring 13 tries, across four and a half seasons.
The rugby league utility made a mid-season switch to Penrith in 2024 where he was a regular in the club’s NSW Cup side without breaching the top grade.
Kepaoa, who was represented by veteran legal practitioner and Panthers deputy chair Mark Mulock, will be sentenced later this month.

Has he had his flipper/hand surgery yet?

Flipper hands and lead feet - not a great combo.
