Josh will sleep him

No contest. Aloiai by a mile. Warm up with Hodges just for giggles

 

[cktiger]

If you’re jumping in the ring you have to be prepared to seriously hurt someone.
Unsure if Josh has that in him.
If he does then good luck.
Hodges had nothing , not too sure about Lussick but he seems a hard nut.

 

[kiwitiger]

Tbh prefer if josh concentrated on his first job first. Play a full season with good consistency, not just a handful of good games.

He could practice on Matterson when we play Parra.

Use Slimey fart as the undercard..

I've seen Josh fight live, and spar in the ring... hell beat Lussick

Does he have a boxing history?

On the contrary to forumers requesting Josh focus on his footy.
Isn’t it good to know that Josh has this mongrel in him. His a quiet going church boy but if his happy to let rip in a boxing ring it shows that he can be a bit of an enforcer on the field as well. I know there is a no punch policy but if Josh takes the ring and floors a known bully in Lussick, look out.

I’m tipping Josh to become our pack leader this year. especially since he tends to feel a bit betrayed by his mate Matterson.

Yeah Josh would take this one comfortably

Has boxed since he was a kid and has a real passion for it. Had a chat with him once about it and he said Madge encourages him as long as his hand is ok.

Screw loose: Aloiai searching for stability after radical hand surgery

Wests Tigers forward Josh Aloiai is hoping a change of injury fortune is within reach after extensive and unique hand surgery in the off-season.

Four years after playing through his debut season with a broken scaphoid, Aloiai underwent a procedure in October to correct a screw that gradually loosened inside his hand from previous surgeries.

The setback left the 24-year-old in discomfort and ended his season prematurely as the team pushed for a finals berth in 2019.

"It was a shooting pain because the screw had gone into my wrist joint," Aloiai told NRL.com.

"It wasn't something you could needle because the positioning of it. I'd get pain after a game and throughout the week.

"I was carrying it for quite a long time and just got to a point where it needed to be fixed."

Aloiai met with Sydney wrist and hand surgeon Peter Scougall to go through his options after multiple unsuccessful surgeries.

"I got a rib graft done, where they took a bit of rib out and cartilage to use it to reconstruct my hand," Aloiai said.

"It was a bit daunting and was a full-on operation but I just wanted it fixed and it's turned out really good now and my hand has been the best it's felt for 18 months.

"I'm finally at a point where it's not giving me any problems and I'm going into a season injury-free."

Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire wasted no time in naming Aloiai to start at prop for Sunday's season opener against St George Illawarra in Wollongong.

A report in the off-season which referred to the joint venture having one of the weaker forward packs in the competition had stung the Samoan international.

"We've got a chip on our shoulder about it," Aloiai said.

"There's been heaps of negative talk about us and that's great. The good thing about that is every week we take the pitch we have an opposing forward pack to prove everyone else wrong.

"We'd love nothing more than to show that outside noise is wrong. There's no other way that this year can go than for us to make the finals.

"In my mind there's no other option, we have to be in the eight and have to do everything in our power to make it happen."

This is our problem, we talk about making the 8 instead of winning the comp.
