All I've heard has been complimentary as well tbh. I saw a couple of his early games and he was excellent and since then I've checked his game stats and they've been good, especially in defence where he seems to be working his backside off. He's doing a lot better than I would've expected this early in to his time in a new country/league.

I always wondered/worried if KPP would get to where he should, seemed to lack a bit of heart when he first got going at Wigan and even when he signed for the Knights I had my doubts about him making it. But the back end of last season he was a monster and he's carried that form on, fair play to him.

Nsemba though, some replacement! All very depressing IMO.

I think all the Brits down under this year have done well that have had a chance.

I watched an interview/podcast with Will Pryce last week and he is absolutely loving it and theres no way he is coming back anytime soon.

He mentioned having a trial at Saints as a youngster and they didn't want him. But he said himself until he was 17/18 he wasn't very good (his words)

I think he will get a few games next year and then we will see if he is good enough or if he will be coming to SL .

I think wee expect too much too soon sometimes

Very challenging for a playmaker. Hope he gets his chance in time but its no surprise that he isn't making the first team squad at the moment. Both his defence and general decision making would need to improve.

He mentioned the plan was to get 1 NRL game this season why he worked on his defence and learning their systems. Next season it was then down to him prove his worth.

He came across really well and level headed and seemed delighted with how it was going.

He told a story about being on a team bonding session and he ordered food as he was starving as the waiter put his food in front of him Tyson Frizell poured a full beer over it as eating isnt allowed when they are out on the ale. He said he was gutted but found it funny and it sounded like Frizell and his family have took him under their wing to help him settle in
