The first part of the post was tongue in cheek, I thought that would be obvious with the link to Hickey tbf? Had I compared him with Grond (Laeano) or Tautai then I’d expect the reaction. Perhaps next time I shall use an emoji- it has been a long time since I’ve posted on this forum so I forgot how tetchy people become if not 100% clear.

The second part of my post I will stand by- Pauli has a poor and in my opinion lazy attitude, which is not just reflected in his weight and athleticism but his application on the pitch- In my opinion I think we can get more bang for our buck elsewhere.

Your totally right kettyKat No club in Aus will stand for how he's been playing, Flashes of being a top class player will not stand him in favour he has to buckle down & show some enthusiasm to get even a contract with us. Rugby league don't really I suspect wouldn't want to lose him.

Not quite what he was last season, but I'd still rather have him in the team than face him in the opposition, hopefully CC will sort him out.

He came alive later in the season last year but we have number who do that, all of whom are overseas. Might be the weather or their NRL upbringing that rewards late season form.

Might be clutching at straws but let’s see how it pans out would be my advice.

Mine too. Playing right, he's a sight to fear for the opposition when he comes on the field against a tiring team.

We all know that PP is a big guy and as I've said previously, he missed the start of the season through injury and then has been included without obviously being match fit and has been trying to work his way back in.
The squad was short and he has ended up playing big minutes recently. He's a completely different player to Big Dave.
If you use him as an impact player like as other posters have said as he was at the end of last season, we see him at his devasting best.
Give him a break.
