Karl F. is fighting the Maori/Islander problem of inconsistency when it comes to doing the hard yards.
All too common is their lacklustre approach and appreciation of their wonderful talent.
It goes right back to Olsen Filipana who would consistently win MOM awards for his country against the stronger Aussie team, yet was playing reserve game in the ARL at the time.
For his club this bruiser simply wouldn't get fit or be consistent.
The warriors - a tipsters nightmare. Their history is littered with performances which suggest they can beat any team in the comp with breath-taking performances, only to be humbled the next weekend by an NRL minnow.
So many of their players head to the Uk to play in a substandard comp and get away from the elite training disciplines of the Aussie game.
I bet Karl is a lovely bloke. Good family man, humble, with a huge smile and who has the ability to absolutely smash an opponent and be the most damaging player on the park.
Then just when the fans start getting excited, and the media start writing headlines he'll pull back instead of taking that next step.
I reckon a mentor like SBW, Asotasi or Wiki in the club would be a benefit to Sticky in bringing this bloke on.
Where's Hutch?
T?
