Why will no one try to impress me?

You claimed he looked "something special" in a brief cameo off the bench. He made 13 tackles, missed 2 and made an average of 8m.

Now of course he might turn out to be a very good player but he may also turn out to be another player moved on with very little game time.

The point is, we have no idea so why refer to him as "something special" or "potentially world class" when he could equally turn out to be utter e?

But in my opinion (and that of others) he did so should we not say so?

Is your opinion more superior in some way?

I’m sure given your superior opinion that you already know that stats don’t tell you everything about a player’s performance?

What is your take on Ben Flowers comments?

Haven't read them nor do I have a superior opinion, I'm not going to judge a player on a 20 minute stint. (It also wouldn't be the first time a player is tipped for big things and makes nothing of themselves)

There's a chance he doesn't even get a game next season.

If that was posted on redvee about a saints player we would be calling them deluded.

Speak for yourself, a number of Saints supporters expressed an opinion on Bentley after a very short period of time last season saying very similar to what I have said about KPP, they were entitled to their opinion and I just find it really odd that people should be called out for it.

Supporters are entitled to an opinion, surely that’s what messaged boards are for??

It’s neither delusional or embarrassing.

James Bentley has played 39 games for Saints. I don't think KPP has played that many minutes for us.

Of course everyone is entitled to an opinion, all those disagreeing are saying is let's wait a bit before we come up with one.

There was a time when he had only played a game and some Saints supporters were talking him up in relation to his potential.

In fact some people were talking him up before he had played a game for them.

That didn’t make them delusional, just excited by what he might go on to become.

For the record they were spot on.

Possibly based on his 50 career appearances elsewhere.

How many does KPP have?

Obviously I hope you are all right and he becomes a superstar in a Wigan shirt, but as Grimmy said in his pretty impressive post, if he doesn't then he won't be the first player we have hailed as a star with very little substance that has turned out to be nothing of the sort.

He had played 28 first team games before he even got there, and I don't remember them calling him world class or an improved version of Hock at that point. Even now that would be premature.

Did you follow London academy regularly in 2019 or are you literally just basing this off a 20 minutes stint in the first team and some highlights of his best moments against other youngsters? If he does what he did in those highlights against grown men in Super League then fair enough, but that's a big jump. Kibula ran wild at that level, he will be plying his trade on loan at Newcastle this year. EggChasing lookatme!

No, for some supporters it was based on minimal game time for Saints, in fact even one of our more high profile supporters tweeted something similar.

That’s part of watching sport, sometimes you get it right and sometimes not but it would be pretty boring if everyone waited for x amount of games before giving any sort of opinion, especially a positive one.

Purely based on that Saints game and the video, I thought he was impressive and looked to have a lot of potential.

If you think that’s delusional then fine but I’m all for supporters posting different opinions and I’ve never found the need to label it as embarrassing.
