Knowing you, as I do - as a relative newcomer to Rugby League - I'll excuse you for your pessimism, but young Islanders almost never fail in SL.

No way is Satae the best prop in SL.

I was summarising the opinions of others and, as far as SL goes, they’re not at all pessimistic.

“Belongs in Super League” means the same there as here… but also carries an additional wider meaning, of course.

I am (technically) a part-time professional RL journalist now, btw. And after the weekend my general pessimism may be diminished… or even more deeply ingrained.
