NRLs Alliteration 17 By Jack Brady NRL 12:00pm Mon 20th October, 2014 The 16 NRL clubs may be on leave but the team at NRL never sleep, so in order to help speed up the off-season we put our heads together to come up with a hard-hitting, surprise-laden selection of the players... whose first name starts with the same letter as their surname. Coached by South Sydney mentor Michael Madge Maguire, NRLs Alliteration 17 hosts a blend of experienced players and young guns who on their day could take on the competitions best. If were talking about expansion in the next couple of years then a side assembled with these players would be a literary delight. Who knows, one of these players could one day win the Clive Churchill Medal. 10. Pauli Pauli (Eels) Four line breaks, three try assists, three tries, three line break assists – doesnt sound like a forward does it? We have struck gold with 20-year-old Pauli Pauli who looked right at home playing in the NRL for the Eels this season. Cleary his parents thought they would go one better than a mere single letter alliteration by naming him after his grandfather which is of course a massive boost to the team. 12. Manu Mau (Eels) Mau burst onto the scene in Round 1 with a man-of-the-match performance on his NRL debut. While an arm injury kept him in the casualty ward for the back half of the year his four line breaks, 27 tackle busts and 106.2 metres per game are enough to solidify his place in the starting team.
