No no no

I just think KPP suits our playing style. His frame with guys running of him. He will excel with us.

Is the "He he" like a laughing, you must be joking kind of sound you are trying to express.

If that is the case then I agree.

I think the dollars are the issue.

If it's for $300-400k then might be worth the risk but for the reported money that he is on, then I don't think so.

Especially with Toa and Turuva on our right and being fed the ball by Luai.

KPP is on more than what he should be, sure, but he's unable to produce what he was renowned for in the Old Dart due to the role O'Brien's given him.

WT actually pursued Nicholson when Richardson went over to England midway thru last year but lost out due to the Canberra connection with all the Poms.

Whats the difference between what AOB has him doing compare to in england?

Im seeing a lot of excuses for this bloke

The stats from the games where he has been criticised on this forum were posted and they were very good.

To the untrained eye. As a former winger he is an absolute liability defensively and costs a lot. He’s a taller Nofa. In attack he’s a gun but Roosters get burnt down his edge often.

Maybe O'Brian's coaching of KPP has pissed him off to the point he is doing SFA in defence. Bare minimum. His attack was lack lustre also. No tackle busts for a big guy?
He was continually running as a decoy around the centres, at pace, [last game in Magic Round], but never got the ball? Coach plan? Made for a below par performance IMO.

Don’t get the KPP hate, he’s doing way better than our second rowers in a team that is horrible with arguably the worst halves in the comp.

He averages 114m a game. Seyfarth is 66m and Fainu is 82m. He has 9 offloads, Fainu is on zero for the year and Seyfarth has 8. Mind you on two less games as well. His tackle efficiency is better than Fainu and just below Seyfarth.

He is certainly an upgrade and clearly has more ceiling.

Looks a complete player KPP. Hits hard defensively and always hurts players with the ball, offloads well also. I like the look of him however, he has done nothing to dictate a big contract. Richo will know best with English players.

I'd like to buy a pretty good front row, 2nd row, centre and winger. Wanting a more impactful option than Bird off the bench week to week. When I say pretty good, I'd rather see 4 good players so our weekly line-up is always pretty strong than 1 absolute top tier player, who works unless injuries. I feel like our depth is perhaps the biggest problem. Then I want all the young guns we already have extended.

 

[Halbrowne61]

I hate the injury prone tag - a lot of the times its just bad luck.

I won't write anyone off because of it. Everyone was saying the same about Blore.

And Blore was with us. Latu currently injury prone( fact) but hopefully can get past it.

Can he play in the forwards ? Because that’s our biggest need

he used to offload at will, bump players off, use his fend, ballplay and even put in the odd short kick. could sit an attacker on their arse as well.

clearly been worn down by a very conservative game plan.

shocking defence. Why do you think the Chooks want to get rid of him Besides we have good wingers.

Or maybe he thrived in an inferior competition and is finding the NRL a bit tougher?

I dunno....i never notice him when Im watching the knights

Where’s all the bullying stories about the Chooks and Dom young? That’s right uncle Nick has Weedler and co in his pocket.
