Well he doesn’t have to excel much to “ have the game of his life “ it’s a pretty low bar he’s set ...

McShane at Cas

Well, that's one player. Not many.
As for Pauli, he is THE laziest defensive player I've ever seen play.
Lazy technique and no desire to get there in the first place. Used to put in the odd shoulder charge before it was banned though.

Ideal game to let the lad take the reins at half back ,Salford haven’t hit their straps yet so not like throwing him in at the deep end .Perfect stage for him to showcase his talents and let the coaching staff see how he goes stepping up to the challenge.

My question about the kid and any kid coming in is, can they handle the physicality of the game.

He clearly has skills and a rugby brain, but if they don't match up in the game, the worse thing that could happen is we lose the game and we have to build his confidence up with more games in reserves etc.
If he isn't physically capable then not only is it going to affect the team but it can set him back for future, when he would have been ready, if you'd have waited.

You can guarantee if either he or Max plays at 7, they'll be running PP at them, so we need to be ready. That is why some are talking about Westerman instead. Personally I think Westerman would be fine, but we lose something elsewhere in the team. I'd have JW running the show in the middle with the forwards, taking the pressure off 6 and 7 for when they get the opportunity.

Conversely, our 'nippier' players should be running at PP

Just out of interest had you heard of him before his first half display against Widnes, I doubt not many on here had yet are clambering for his inclusion despite some on here who has monitered his progress as I'm sure the coaching staff have, personally I'd have thought that they've put him in the 21 for the experience, we'll find out tomorrow though.

I agree.
They'll at least draw a penalty.

Now now, let’s not forget that Pauli has about a 1 in 200 chance of flattening somebody...

To be honest I’ve not heard of a lot of players that have turned out for wakey over the years, some have gone on to be legends others legends for all the wrong reasons .

A lot of Wire fans had been calling for young centre Keenan Brand to be given a chance against Leeds. They got their wish and Konrad Hurrell trampled all over him.

At the same time Daryl Clark was 18 when he made his debut against a big Hudds pack. Likewise Jordy Crowther against Wigan. Everyone has to start somewhere.
