Yes, it was good to see Ben Flower running with a bit of pace again.

I genuinely believe we've coasted through the last two games, looking to start "peaking" for this tough run of fixtures (on paper), Cas, Salford, Wire and Saints.

The injuries may hamper this.

It has been mentioned on Mikes Site that FPN will be going home at the end of the season, Supposedly his wife has a dislike towards the club and the housing it has provided, is this true?, has anybody else heard anything on this matter?

Hope so. Another overrated Aussie who doesn't live up to his nickname

What a blessing.

didnt think the club could provide housing as it counts on the cap

Maybe the club just found them the house so they would have somewhere for when the came over?

I'll drive them to the airport when they have packed. How he got to be called wrecking ball I'll never know, our wingers run the ball in harder and more often as well.

He left his wrecking balls in Australia...

He definitely doesn't have them when he takes to the pitch

No wonder his missus isn't happy...

More than happy for this to be true, get him off the cap.

Frank was as good as anybody in his second half stint on Friday. His effort was tremendous.

I cant believe how much stick FPN gets on here, His defence is excellent and we dont use props to make yards, not sure what some people watch to be honest

What is his job on the field then, please tell me because I honestly don't know what he does. If he's not on to make yards then he must be on to set up plays, or maybe get on the end of plays to score tries, unfortunately he doesn't do any of these either.

Early in Wane's career I used to express frustration over our style of play. Backs making hard yards, etc. I'm accustomed to it now - and loving how successful we've been. I'd love us to have a Chris Hill or Walmesley (where's the mouthwash?) but perhaps that's just not how our coach gets the job done?

I'm with you tbh. Don't get me wrong I think he's got more to give but I don't think his form is horrendous by any stretch. If anything I actually think he's playing a bit better over the past month or so.

He doesn't do enough minutes plus he always appears to be the dummy runner. He needs to up his game time and his involvement when he is on.

Mainly defensive, the same way Waney uses all our props. Tackle hard and slow down the PTB. In attack, draw in as many tacklers as possible and aim for a quick PTB. Not rocket science.

Or maybe he is playing to instructions from the coach. Wane has stated several times in the past he has a specific game plan for his props. I like to see the props making yards but ours, whoever they are have never done that under Wane. We tend to have a set of props, none of which playing big minutes.

FPN hasn't been as bad as say Eddie Pettybourne. I'd say he has been about as good as Jeff Lima in his first season. But for an overseas player with a big reputation, I suppose we expected a lot more from him than he has delivered. I think we expected to see someone as good as Hill or Walmsley or even Taylor, but he isn't a patch on them.

Regardless of Wane's methods he should have been better when he does run with the ball. He does have a quick PTB when he is on song, but he struggles to dominate and gets stopped by the first contact regularly.

Not rocket science no, but it does appear to be quantum physics to FPN. The guys is earning big bucks and should be giving a lot more on the field than he does.

So why pay good money for an international prop forward and then not have any game plan for him? it doesn't make sense. We may as well spend money on someone from division one and get them to follow the no game plan approach and save money to boot.

This, in a nutshell.

When someone comes across from the NRL with a reputation along with the tag line "wrecking ball" you'd at least expect that player to make the hard yards, bust tackles and require 3-4 opposition players to bring him down.

Steve 'zip zip man' Ella - we got what was said on the tin.
Steve 'The Pearl' Renouf - another classy player.

Whilst he went okay on Friday in parts, he should have been our 'go forward' in our time of need. However yet again the lesser named Tautai outshone him as he has done all season.
