Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

He's on big money, has 2-3 mistakes per game has no leg drive and dies with the ball his nickname frank Paul the wrecking ball was earned from his ferocious defence well that is non existent and to me Wells today showed a lot more grit and effort.

For his size FPN plays below his weight. For his size Farrell plays well above his weight.

No whipping boy just what I see in front of me. Utter sh!te this season especially compared to his form at the back end of last year.

Ps check my previous posts I was in the I can't wait to see FPN after pre season camp, let down massively.
FPN was never called wrecking ball before he came to the club, hype by the club for a new player

Oddly I thought it FPN's better games a return to at least 2 to 3 players trying to get him down.

Thought Crosbys spell for Wire was excellent frankly

O Loughlin is a tackling machine who can thread a pass like a half back and too place a kick like he did at the end how can anyone fault him :D

Big Frank has not being amazing this season but he has not been poor. The way I see it is he runs into contact and if isn't looking like busting the tackle he takes to the floor and tries to get a quick POTB. Most of his POTB's are at the quicker side of the scale.
Room for improvement? Yes. Liability? Definitely not!

There was a comment earlier on this thread that Ryan Sutton had a poor game.
My concern would be that he seems to have put too much weight on and that weight seems to have settled around his stomach.
Having been a strong supporter of him for the past 2 seasons I have been disappointed by his performances generally this season.

Didn't see the 'boot thing' but apart from one drive in the first half when he arrived at speed and took the ball forward, he was ineffective last night. What baffles me for a player who has played at high levels of the NRL is that after virtually every tackle, he finds himself on the wrong side of the PTB and is thus out of the game and leaves a hole in the defensive line. It's amateurish and a young player wouldn't get away with it. (Willie Isa tends to do the same). As for stripping the ball near the line and giving away a try............ others would have been hooked straightaway.
I'd play Wells ahead of him on last night's showing.

My worry is MM,he was poor and although i have never rated him as highly as some on here,surely he should have shown some gradual improvement after his injury.He was not alone though,Tomkins was dire and Williams ineffective.

Regarding the boot throwing incident......

Big Frank was probably thinking a player with one boot will be less effective and if he wants it back he'll have to run 30 meters out of position to get it

I'm not condoning it, but it's hardly crime of the century

Lockers couldn't stop laughing at the ref, so if he's not bothered, neither am I
