Cautioned for use of knees against cas. I know he got pulled up for it at Warrington away but I see a lot worse. Hope it doesn't knock his confidence I thought he showed some promising signs against cas.

positive signs how?Playing 80 mins? and how did he contribute in those 80- how he got man of the match is beyond me.

he sails so close to the wind with his high shots because he is so tired - I think a sending off is coming in the next few weeks

totally unfit at minute and is offering nothing.to wear we need him to be as a quota player.

hopefully playing 80 gets him to some sort of level where he can be the wrecking ball he once was.

No real surprise you have negative things to say about him but then again you were the same when we signed Fifita and criticised him similarly when he came over, now look at the player he is.

Personally, from that game, he was the only Trinity forward that carried it in with any go forward and actually made the Cas defense commit 3 or 4 players to mark him. For a guy that's his size, it was a tremendous effort playing the 80 minutes and showed he had a tank on him. So how you can say he's totally unfit and offers nothing, itproves yet again you either don't watch, have an agenda or know nothing about RL.

I think the bloke after his injuries has started to regain his confidence, as well as catching up to the rest of the team fitness wise because he started pre-season a lot later than the rest of them.

Injured!! In our game, players do have the tendency to pick up the odd knock from time to time

DC I noticed he was over in AUS for a few weeks. Did he do any sort of rehabilitation over there or just a few weeks to relax?

Rehabilitation can be mental too. A half-fit but refreshed and happy player can be better than a fully fit homesick one missing his family. Imagine being used to the Aussie summers and then having to endure the spring we've had whilst recuperating.






EVENTUALLY, WE'LL WIN SOMETHING, ,MAYBE, IF I'M STILL ALIVE THEN

Seeing as the Sky MOM is merely a viewer phone vote, and PP was our only nominee, it just means more wakey fans voted for our one option than Cas fans did to one out of their three options.
In reality a Cas player deserved it more than any of ours.
I saw the high knee at the time and expected a pen. Ref more interested in finding obstruction and tackled in the air pens.

Does it not tell you something that PP was actually nominated for man of the match by the "Secret Rugby League legend" that chooses the 4 players? Especially being that it`s not often that a player from the losing side is in he 4 nominated.

The stand out for me was Liam Watts, thought he was brilliant and was man of the match by a country mile.

I was injured during my cricket stint over in wake and yes I missed my family a hell of a lot back in Australia but because I was contracted I stayed and helped within the team whist I wasn't playing - I didn't go home.
