He's a massive gamble as Fifita was. However if he pays off stays fit and motivated I personally think he's potentially the better player.
Far more experienced than Dave, bigger and a better athlete. However as Jarrod Hickey proved, you can't always get that back in a player.
Big risk but possibly a massive reward.
I watched the eels religiously prior to him signing for Newcastle and I honestly don't see PP as a risk
He has the heart, determination and mind set of a champion and the size and skill to go with it,
I fully expect if we sign him for him to be the star forward of SL 2018 once he gets is fitness back
Dave had a lot more match experience he's 5-6 years older than PP but was never able to settle any where, the potential was always there and luckily for us it was unlocked finally in the Trin Jersey, I think with Dave being out of the spotlight of the media and his brother really helped,
Pauli Pauli needs some where to re establish his career
Dave needed to settle and establish his career
That's how I see it anyway
Our pack with the rotation to go with it will be as good if not better than any side in SL. I don't see who will match us
