He looks everything that i was hoping KPP to be. Fingers crossed Leeds keep giving him the minutes for the rest of the season so he comes into our side next season firing.

Let's hope we don't fall into the trap of branding him world class like the ridiculous thread on here about KPP before he'd even played a game.

People are entitled to their opinions, isn’t that what forums are all about?

Really don’t see the big issue with people saying that a young player looks to be potentially world class or looked like something special.

They have hardly been disproved wrong.

Of course people are entitled to opinions, but the lad hadn't played a game.

He played in the derby, I understand it was one game but at a time when things were looking grim he stood out for some people and I think people were genuinely excited by his potential.

He wouldn't be world class if he was the only player in the world

Correct….and I have yet to see anyone describe him as world class.

If you're signing him as KPP's replacement, then that's a mistake. He's not an edge forward. He's a middle forward. His lateral movement isn't quick enough for 2nd row.

I think they’ll be open minded but I fully expect that he’ll settle in to a role at prop here. We’ve played with mobile second rowers, who do 60,70,80 mins, for the best part of 15 years now (and probably longer thinking on) and I don’t see that changing. I’d be more inclined to think that we’ll see Tiaki Chan in the second row.

He is a better player than KPP
