Not good enough in my eyes. Granted the all round performance was below par but all that sticks out in my mind is he penalty he gave away. He needs early ball to be effective and we don’t seem to exploit that.

Anyone know how long he was on for?

Such was the general quality of the play yesterday I couldn’t say who played well and who didn’t. Jowitt was probably the one who most fitted the brief of his position.

No but he was far more effective than last week but it’s all relative.

Maybe the effects of so many games in a short space of time and missing a chunk of preseason. He's a unit so will no doubt be low on energy levels. Up until the Chester comment I haven't seen anything to question his effort, and I'm not going to join the lynch mob now.

15 minutes?

I'd say 35 mins

Initially took the ball up with real effort
Then gave away a penalty away
After that he just trailed off

Hate saying this but he's had enough time to prove his self
Everyone gives 100% and I honestly don't feel Pauli does

I do think he's giving 100% on the field I just don't think he's giving 100% in training. He looks shagged which means he's going to his max but it just isn't long enough.
When he runs with the ball he really rocks a defense but teams are going to star spotting him in defense and either get past him or gain a penalty for a lazy tackle.
If he can pick up his fitness and who knows he may be carrying injuries, he's a good asset for us.

The thing that frustrates me with Pauli as I’ve already said earlier he has all the attributes to make a huge impact in our game ,but for some reason chooses not to ,wether it’s fitness or attitude he needs to sort it out .watching the Aussie games this morning he certainly won’t get a contract over there now how he’s performing ,as there is certainly no room for that sort of tackling in their game.

I completely agree re him being an asset
And on the training too you am sure are right

Remember the last time we played hull last year
He absolutely destroyed (along with dave) hulls left edge
It was a pleasure to watch

I watched him play many many times for the eels too
I was delighted when we signed him

Sadly I think it will take something major for him to become what we all know he can be

Maybe dropping him when we have players back is the next step

But MC Has said 4 players have contracts on the table
We have more than 4 players off contract

So is he one of the players we haven't offered one to?

Your totally right kettyKat No club in Aus will stand for how he's been playing, Flashes of being a top class player will not stand him in favour he has to buckle down & show some enthusiasm to get even a contract with us. Rugby league don't really I suspect wouldn't want to lose him.

Not quite what he was last season, but I'd still rather have him in the team than face him in the opposition, hopefully CC will sort him out.

He came alive later in the season last year but we have number who do that, all of whom are overseas. Might be the weather or their NRL upbringing that rewards late season form.

Might be clutching at straws but let’s see how it pans out would be my advice.

Mine too. Playing right, he's a sight to fear for the opposition when he comes on the field against a tiring team.

We all know that PP is a big guy and as I've said previously, he missed the start of the season through injury and then has been included without obviously being match fit and has been trying to work his way back in.
The squad was short and he has ended up playing big minutes recently. He's a completely different player to Big Dave.
If you use him as an impact player like as other posters have said as he was at the end of last season, we see him at his devasting best.
Give him a break.
