  • Fpn

    I'm really interested to see how he goes this week.

    I've felt he was pretty poor at the start of the year, but I've started noticing him get a bit more involved in the last few weeks. Apart from his error after that break, I though he was ok last week and seems to be getting used to his role as an edge player. He also seems to be building a strong combination with SKD which will be good.

    I know a lot of people have there doubts about his involvement, but he made over 100 metres last week, and just under the week before. Plus, hes played 144/160 minutes in our last two games.

    I don't think hes near his potential yet, but he is improving and I think he adds much needed size to what is normally a very small back row.

    Thoughts?

    Reminds me of Pritchard. Damaging player when he decides to get involved. But more likely to be MIA

      I watched him closely at knights game and the bloke just isn't fit. Coaches must see him defending and rub their hands together thinking he won't stop our fast guys cause he is buggered. He was awesome in attack last year and right now appears our only guy with any chance of breaking the line, but the dude needs to shave his head and get on the treadmill..

              He's very lazy. FPN that is.

                  Don't get me wrong - I'm a fan of Mose. When he runs, he absolutely dominates the opposition and when he hits they stay hit. He just doesn't seem to have the workrate.

                  I guess you don't want him to lose his explosiveness and turn him into a workhorse, but he doesn't seem to have either the ticker or the lungs ATM.

                    I prefer Mose to FPN.

                      Not really a fan of FPN. Was never really a fan of Tupou either. I'm very much a traditionalist, in that I like
                      • Hardworking, tough, no frills forwards
                      • Tough hookers that can get your side moving forward a la Smith
                      • Creative halves
                      • Defensive centres (Timmins, Bowman, Cooper etc)
                      • Wingers who can create a try on their own.
                      • Support fullbacks who can defend and marshall a line.

                      Therefore, I see our team as ****ed.

                        FPN is an attacking weapon for sure, but no where near his best this year. Dropped too much ball against the cows.

                        If someone could get his mind on the job, he would be a great attacking option.

                          FPN has disappointed me, I thought he turned the corner last year but he is back to his old lazy self.

                          Watch him when he is defending always bludging and when he makes a tackle there is always a quick play the ball.

                          It's a shame.

                            Tupou was much better than FPN.

                              Yes he was. Still pretty inconsistent though. As far as I'm concerned, forwards are there to go forward and to defend the middle of the ruck. That's all.
