He's already far better than KPP was at the same stage of development.

Edit - thought you were referring to Nsemba.

From what I saw of his performances at Leeds he's a special player.

As is KPP. Just because he has left don't forget just how good he was last season

Yes, I was.

KPP isn't pulling up any trees in the NRL; I wonder how long he'll last.

Disagree with you there. From what I've seen he's played well, certainly in an attacking sense. Matty Johns made a point of singling him out for praise a couple of weeks ago on his show.

Re: Walters : Mon May 20, 2024 4:22 pm  

Well I disagree, Stu. I've watched every Knights game this season, and I swear to God, of the 17 starting players, I'd bet the house he has less touches than any other player. They attack largely down his (left) flank, but the big carries are always Marzhew and Best; KPP hardly gets involved. From time to time Hastings will give him the ball, and he'll make a few metres, and if an opponent comes his way, he'll tackle him. But compare his match impact to Tyson Frizell, or whoever is playing on the other side, and you'll soon see the difference.

KPP is absolutely killing it over there. Andrew Johns can’t believe how good he is.

Well there's an unbiased Newcastle source! He can yet come good, but right now, he absolutely isn't killing it.

I've heard him talked about as possibly their best player so far this season. Seems he's doing very well.
I wasn't even a big fan of him here.

Re: Walters : Tue May 21, 2024 7:10 am  

He's doing fine. I'm sure he was their MOM a few weeks back, complete with a barnstorming run that lead to a try too https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/brits-down-under-pearce-paul-carves-up-smithies-top-tackler-scotland-international-makes-nrl-debut It was Pearce-Paul’s best performance to date in the NRL, and was unlucky to be on the losing side as the Knights went down to a narrow defeat against the Roosters. The towering England international played the full 80 minutes, making 153 metres from 13 carries, including 13 hit ups, as well as making 39 tackles in defence. A mammoth display from the former Wigan Warriors forward.
