Former Super League powerhouse Pauli Pauli will continue his playing career after making a Championship move away from Doncaster RLFC.
Leaving the second tier’s Grand Final runners-up, Pauli departs after three seasons. In that time, he racked up 60 appearances and 84 points.
A former NRL player with the Parramatta Eels and Newcastle Knights, the 32-year-old has landed a move to West Yorkshire and will link up with the Dewsbury Rams for 2027.
During his Super League days, he originally started at Wakefield Trinity in 2018 and 2019, before a move to Salford came part-way through that season. Joining York Knights in 2022, he arrived at Doncaster in 2024, where he has been up to now.
Standing at 6’6, the powerful forward can play both the back row and at prop, and is a welcome reinforcement to Paul March’s pack.
Pauli makes the move to the FLAIR Stadium next season, which of course will become part of a groundshare between the Rams and Huddersfield Giants.
He joins Sam Hallas in arriving at the club, with Hallas departing Bradford Bulls after a decade in order to take up a new career opportunity.
