The Canberra fans want rid, Ricky Stuart wants rid, and he should have gone to Saints or elsewhere?
Just cannot win with you lot, a prop of that calibre becomes available we should pass on him?
Hasn't even landed yet and folk are dismissive because of his current form.
Shocking if you ask me.
Well said ????????????????
It's was me that posted what was said on the Raiders fans Web site and it wasn't being dismissive of me on MY thoughts, it was solely the thoughts of the RAIDERS FANS and what THEY portray of their coaches decision to let FPN go.
I'll make my judgement and comments what I think of the bloke when he's played sufficient games and I think I can then say so, be it good comments or be it bad.
How the he'll is that being dismissive (snide) as God has said it is, when all I've commented on is what's clearly on the Raiders fans forum,and NOT MY THOUGHTS of the player!!!!!

No signing is cut and dry to be an amazing success. Frank at the Roosters would not even be released. If he was playing like that at Canberra he would not have been rel;eased. The jury is out until he is here. On the basis of his Roosters form I think he will be a very good signing.

Dismissive?
There was nothing snide made in MY comments about MY thoughts of the player whatsoever, all I mentioned was what the Canberra fans had been putting on their forum.
Those are the Canberra fans choice of words about FPN, and NOT MINE
If you don't believe me, go to the Raiders fans forum.
I will reserve my comments and make my judgement about the bloke, good or bad, when I see him play for Wigan.
Is that dismissive?
Your view is balanced and simil;ar to mine. Odd isn't it that a balanced opinion is treated as herasy
Who knows and that is the point; The jury is out as it is with all new signings. IMO he will be a success based on his Roosters form but there is no excaping he did not set the world on fire at Canberra. When somebody states the obvious that there is no such thing as a sure bet why the insults and uproar? last time I read here PM is a considered poster, even dare I say rational.

They are giving a player a bad name before he even plays a game for us and some posters will judge him based on this knowledge regardless.
Reposting what they have said ignites people's opinions of him without actually seeing him in a Wigan shirt.
I'm not interested in what the Raiders fans are saying either, I never said that I was.
I will make my judgement and opinions on how he does for Wigan, as that's all that matters for me.
My post wasn't written to ignite anything and it certainly wasn't a snide aimed statement.
A big plus re FPN is that he can play in the back 3 of the oack as and when required.
God, just a general observation, Wigan fans get even more hyped about overseas signings than any Wigan 'born' player. Most Wigan fans do not even sonsider say Faz, Micky, George, the Tomkins signing new contracts as big news. So in many respects FPN and any overseas player will get far more support / hype.
Classically, Hull FC everybody get OTT about non Brits; personally I admite Ellis every time I watch him play.

And some do not consider Joe Burgess coming back as a big deal. He was only the best winger in SL last season after the first 2 games of the season.
