<\/p>\nNelson Asofa-Solomona\u2019s NRL premiership career has been seriously questioned during an intense Face Off with Jarrod Wallace, who accused the 130kg enforcer of avoiding the middle to \u201crun out wide \u2026 run at the halves\u201d.<\/p>\n
The declaration came amid in an entertaining back-and-forth involving journeyman sledges, cage fight suggestions, even that retired Queensland Origin prop Wallace will be dealing with \u201ctrauma\u201d from the opening punch of their Easter Sunday showdown.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Asofa-Solomona also questioned if Wallace or anyone else in the crossover heavyweight space is capable of taking him beyond a handful of rounds, declaring: \u201cMy last opponent said he\u2019d take me to deep waters\u2026 we didn\u2019t even make it off the beach\u201d.<\/p>\n
