Haven't heard much about pat politini. We got this bloke who plays in NSW cup calls himself pat politoni, I like him he never seems to do anything dumb.

Politoni****
For the record.

He's the next Sonny Bill.

Littleshark · Jul 24, 2014

I'm a little suprised he hasn't been talked about more, I think mainly because he was overshadowed by tyrone peachey and lichaa

Sutty · Jul 24, 2014

Well, hookers that provide quick and accurate ball out of dummy half aren't trendy these days, the Issac Luke out-of-dummy-half runners are better on the eye. But, yeah, he looks pretty solid, has well and truly locked in that no. 14 on the bench. Certainly looks more solid that John Morris did at hooker.

Agree. Very similar type players.

Sorry mods I don't know if there is already a thread on this guy.

The head rugby league coach of Holly Cross Ryde was on 2UE's Sports Today tonight,

He coached a gun side that included Luke Brooks, Mitch Moses and the Sironen brothers. He was asked were there any other players in the team that could make it. He basically said the best young footballer he has ever coached is Pat Politini. Says he will be very good soon now he his getting a go at the Sharks. Said the Tigers will regret letting him go especially when Farah retires. Big wraps from the coach of Brooks and Moses who were noted brilliant schoolboys and now clearly future stars.

Nice to hear something positive.

Thanks for posting, interesting to hear. Hopefully he is a quiet achiever, the reverse of Lichaa.

Good I am glad. Dont want poachers sniffing around.

Pat Politini is a good hooker but suffered early on from believing his own hype and didn't work hard enough on his game. As a result he is limited now.

His famous line at the tigers that still gets spoken about today sums up what I mean "I'm twice the hooker Robbie is"

That was the end of his tigers career.

Lol nope he was not taking the Carney. He was young and stupid and I bet he regrets now. He wanted a go in firsts and couldn't understand why he wasn't getting it.

:lmao so much for him not over hyping himself.

I know you can say some silly stuff when young, but that really was silly. That must be why he didn't say anything about being better than JMO or IDG

That's a bit different. Robbie is the 2nd best hooker in the NRL Smith is the best where as Politoni was just a kid coming through the ranks.

As Smith's game continues to decline Robbie will get close to Smith but he won't get there IMO.

disagree... as it stands now, since he signed with the sharks, michael ennis is now the best hooker in the game
