Can see this evidently when he plays. He wants to get his right arm free and fend with this left.... He isn't a hole runner type second rower either.... We play him short balls way too often. Can't wait till we play him on the right.KPP is a right sided player. Not left. Pretty shit coaching to put him there his first year and expect miracles. . Especially when Friz plays more middle now.
Huge gamble.I really like KPP but whoever had him on over 700k in 2025 is nuts. Are we sure Michael Hagan wasn't involved?
Agreed. Yes he needs to add to his game, but I'm far from willing to say it's beyond him at this point.I think this year was all about getting him used to the weekly grind that is the NRL, and he has succeeded with that. He looks fit and up to the task in that regard. He’s played with plenty of toughness.
I will be alarmed if we’re not seeing an extra dimension to his game by mid-way through next year though.
Was using his footwork back on the inside instead of just being a battering ram off short balls.
Yeah these are my thoughts. It's second tier backrower money, right after your absolute gamebreakers.I really like KPP but whoever had him on over 700k in 2025 is nuts. Are we sure Michael Hagan wasn't involved?
