    Quote from KC regarding him playing on Friday.

    "We have plenty of forwards and we have to make sure we don't break him before he gets running."

    He would have been conditioned to play in the NRL this weekend, so I would have thought he would be in better shape than any of our backrowers especially LMS who is not game fit and Peyroux who is fit for nothing at the moment.

    I think he just gets a load of words that sound like they could possibly go together, jumbles them all about in his head and spits them out in any random order.

    Really, 4 days to adapt should be plenty to at least take some part, travelling west is not too bad re jet lag. It's not the grand final, it's arguably the ideal game to blow away the cobwebs. I hope he's not held back for the sake of it, I bet he's raring to go

    It makes sense to give him some game time in a lower profile game rather than throw him later in the deep end against Catalan, Hull and Warrington.
    Is there some sort of playing ticketing queue system at the club, Fages - 9, Walker - 3, Taia - ???

    Is it the same Zeb Tai that played for Catalan. He looks about 2 stone lighter.

    It won't be long until we bulk him up and he's playing prop!

    I'm not sure he is conditioned to play NRL this weekend. When it became clear this move was starting to happen the Titans dropped him from the friendlies they were playing leading upto this weekend.

    I heard he had picked up an injury and was a bit behind schedule. Anyway as pointed out if he is half fit he should at least play some part. For me he is desperately needed

    I dont disagree and ive not heard anything about an injury. I was only saying he might not be as ready as we think

    I would imagine he'll get some game time if anywhere near fit to give things a much needed lift

    Probably because the Australian game is focussed on athleticism as opposed to producing bulked up Nik Naylor's.

    Exactly, when KC quotes "We don,t want to break him" does he mean he can,t lift heavy weights yet. He needs to be on the pitch in an "unspoiled state" ASAP to show the rest of our backrowers what level of skill and determination is required.

    So does that mean he hasn't trained yet in the ways of the Grind.

    Let's hope he had a bit of jet lag and that word went over the top of his head when mentioned or he might think it's a confusing local dialect word.

    He had a haircut so that's probably made him 2 stones lighter! 😃
