How is it a punishment then? You've done something wrong, here's a week off on full pay.

I get being put on leave, with pay, whilst an investigation is made. Not, giving them a week off to enjoy.

So we've established it happens in every day life, but it's silly in rugby league because we might not get to see someone play their former club or two good players play against one another.

Fact is - if Bentley wasn't such an idiot then we'd be seeing him line up against Jonny B (who was suspended at work BTW a few years ago)

I'm not bothered about Bentley, I'm talking about me as a consumer getting a substandard product through no fault of my own. Stuff like that shouldn't impact the end user.

We'd best suspend the season as soon as someone half decent gets injured then. The fans shouldn't get a substandard product through no fault of their own.

its not a punishment, you are taken away from work to protect the business, its quite embarrassing and often does leave to dismissal, but like I said you can get the worst punishment which is a week unpaid suspension

The new Leon Pryce???

Re: KPP : Fri Feb 18, 2022 11:34 pm  

Looks really comfortable in that centre position so far. The spot is his to lose as far as I'm concerned.

Re: KPP : Sat Feb 19, 2022 8:51 am  

KPP is looking good at centre. He even showed decent hands.

He just needs to stop looking for the offload so often because it does two things. 1 - stops him running in as hard and making yards and 2 - more likely to make a mistake the more you carry the ball in one hand.

He did get caught on the outside once in defence as well.

But all in all he is looking like a great player with immense potential. I wanted to keep him at second row, “if it’s not broke don’t fix it” but no arguments so far.

Can’t complain to much. He’s only a young lad. It should come with age when and where to offload. I can deal with the one or two bad offloads if he carries on open defences up in that one good offload

Re: KPP : Sat Feb 19, 2022 10:32 am  

I want to see KPP centre and French on his outside at some point. As the weather gets better and ball handling becomes a bit easier, that combo could be something else. We’ve seen before with French, if you give him space he’s gone and KPP would do that on a regular basis.

I just have visions of French breaking down the right and Field supporting up the middle. The best of British to defences trying to stop that.

Re: KPP : Sat Feb 19, 2022 11:46 am  

What strikes me is how comfortable he is in defence, couple of times this week and last he looked like he’d got beat outside but he has the pace and the reach to cover it.

I was banging on about him needed to play 80mins every week so I’m made up Peet has found a spot for him.
