The boys over at weststigers.com.au have shared a heartwarming story of Wests Tigers forward Isaiah Papali'i showing some love for the good folk of Tamworth.
In a true testament to the spirit of the game, Papali'i recalls his time in the small town of Tamworth, where he and his Warriors mates found refuge during the tumultuous times of the COVID-19 pandemic.
