Dont think we can do much else with whats available 2bh. Pahulu must of picked up another injury, not named in cup either.

Keep saying it, but surely we are a chance if tigers defend like they did against sharks.

No Bula, Korisau or Douhei. Must give us hope!

Pahulu has to be injured, right? I can’t understand why he’s not playing otherwise.

Think this is our week to end our losing.

I've read somewhere tonight that he's showing delayed concussion symptoms

Yep, samuela fainu as well, arguably their 4 best players this year. No excuse for us at home.

Celebrating the Tigers missing some players so we are some sort of chance to beat them at home to snap a 7 game losing streak, man this really is rock bottom.

How will our stocks be looking if we lose?

He has. I'd imagine he only gets a game if conditions suit but I'd love to see him play.

At this point, if they can tackle, throw them in - I don't care what position they play!

His NSW Cup stats don't really stand out so it's an interesting choice to put him in the squad. He could be backup cover if Jahrome misses again and Tolau needs to start or since he's been used in the backrow this year he could be there to play over Chan? Who knows really.

Does he have enough size and passing ability to eventually be a ballplaying lock that we desperately need in this current era of the nrl?
