Early Life

Wapau was educated at St. Teresa's College, Abergowrie.

Playing career

A talented forward, Wapau showed his skill by playing five-eighth in the Queensland Cup in 2007 where a bad ankle injury hampered his NRL progress. He made his NRL debut in round 7 of the 2009 NRL season against the Parramatta Eels.[1] He was a replacement player for Broncos Prop David Taylor.

School mate and former North Queensland player Matt Bowen said that Palmer was the best player that has not played in the NRL prior to his debut in 2009 for Brisbane. His final game in the NRL was against Cronulla-Sutherland which ended in a 46-12 loss at Shark Park.[2]

gollark: Well, for this issue, the solution is probably either a server on fixed-pos stuff and constant recentering on ones which need to move with the player.
gollark: So, magic no-server GPS.
gollark: Client side position pulling?
gollark: I mean, that or something on squid's end.
gollark: Such is life.
