Pauli Pauli has a hit list of 3 players (one of whom almost signed for us, but changed their mind). Intrigued to work out which Wigan player we nearly signed, who PP would know about, in order to be on his hit list?? Suggests high profile -

Did PP come through Parra Juniors with TT?

I must applaud the club in running a reserve grade, all super league clubs should do the same.
I believe many would agree that it was just a money saving idea by SL to stop them in the first place.
I have never agreed with central contracts like the one given to Cunningham for example. It just produces an unfair advantage to the clubs who if they can afford these players should not receive a subsidy from the rest of RL

Pauli Pauli & Fafita sharing a house made me chuckle. Imagine having to go round and tell them to turn it in at 2AM

Does this mean we won't be sending any of our youngsters on loan to other clubs?

Doubt it TT is 6 years older than PP and made his first-grade appearance in 2008 when PP was 14 They were at the Eels together in 2012 but PP was in their Youth side. The other guy he might have any kind of history with is Frank Paul, they played in the NRL at the same time. Apart from that never seen anyone announce a hit list on joining a Club.
