Quote: Bradford Badger "You would think then that when he does get his chance each game he'd be chomping at the bit to put himself about and make an impact, given that he only gets 20 mins and that's all he can expect every week unless he does something special to warrant more time?
He reminds me a bit of Chris Feather - although not obviously as big as him - in regards to his demeanour. Never really seems to get riled or angry and play his size.'"
Not really sure about that to be honest mate. There have been a few props who charge about "trying to make an impact", and yeah, I agree it makes them look keen but it doesn't always result in the sort of impact you might want. I think Richard Moore was an example of what I mean by that; he was effective in some ways but was often a bit over the top and giving penalties away.
I agree that Koppy, just like Feather, hasn't always 'run his weight' and maybe you're right and he isn't nasty enough for a prop, but no-one can deny he's come on since the middle of last year. As for what he'll get this year, again I'm dunno (not much I do know to be honest
) but I hope Potter gives him a bit more time which will have the added benefit of allowing Lynchy more rest and for him to more effective too.
