Is still rubbish

Haha ... I would go as far as saying embarrassing up to now ! Just glad he’s no longer our embarrassment . Took him 3 plays before he managed to get back in line .

All the attributes to be a real asset in any team , age/size but it’s what’s inside you that sets you apart from the crowd. Watching him tonight lumbering around the field makes me even more sure we dodged a bullet in getting rid

A wasted talent , big lad with a heart the size of a pea and a absolutely lazy attitude,if Jordan was as big as Pauli he’d be England’s starting 13, so frustrating.

almost wont them the game with that run and offload at the end.

I think he looks fitter although no where near enough , and more interested than he was with us.

Specsavers must make a killing where ever you live

Your lad is hardly a dwarf, but I get your point.

PP highlights a real issue in the British game. We simply don’t produce players of that freakish size in any quantity. In fact Australia doesn’t directly.

With so few British players available at that size and so few good NRL players willing to move or whom we can afford the likes of PP get away with it. They remain attractive to the lesser clubs like us and Salford despite their massive limitations because in this size obsessed era they are all that’s on offer.

We kid ourselves that their heft will make up for their deficiencies and it rarely does. If you can’t or more likely won’t play it makes no difference, you will fail.

PP is just about capable of two good 10 minute spells especially near the opposition line if he’s up for it. In three years he’s had half a season where he just about managed it. There is no real promise in a player like that no matter how much you know it could be different. He’s just not got the desire.

To CC credit it didn’t take him long to spot that and act on it. He moved Pap out as soon as he could and kudos to him for it. It takes a lot of bottle to tell an Aussie he’s not good enough as usually they are untoucheable. Even Kear fell for that with Hickey.

You should take heart from that. CC may not always get it right but at least he’s not totally besotted with all things NRL.

I will give credit to Mr Chester getting rid of PP . but still thought both teams played the basics of rugby better than we do

I heard a rumour that Greg's are doing a special offer on pies at the moment !!!

Was talking with Pauli at the gym this afternoon, to be fair he didn’t look that bad and ironically must be conscious as he was on the weighing scales at the time and no I didn’t get to see what it showed. I still stand by that no matter how trim or fit he gets I still believe he will be just as lazy. I didn’t tell him that neither
