Quote: Nothus "I always find it really frustrating watching Karl play. I did when he was with Bradford and I felt the same watching him play for Wigan. He's such a big bloke, with plenty of pace, he should be absolutely [ismashing[/i teams to pieces, and it frustrates me the way he seems to hardly make any effort to break a tackle or stay on his feet.
He's quite like Tupou in that respect, another massive player who never made the impact their physical presence suggests possible.
However, I'm pretty sure KP's try scoring record was quite decent for us when he put a string of games together (I don't know the exact figures) so despite his lack of heart, he's still capable of getting over the whitewash.'"
dont think his ability to score tries has ever been in doubt. like you say it was his lack of application that was always his biggest problem. Whenever the going got tough karl seemed to pick up a phantom injury and left the field. May be a something he picked up of leon as he has a habit of going missing in games too. Karl has all the physical attributes to be a good SL winger but seemingly wont put the effort n which is a shame. Certainly wouldnt take him over reardon. At least with reardon you can see he's giving 100% week in week out.
