Best effort for Wigan thus far IMO bar a couple of penalties. He will come good in 2017.

Not going to make comment until he's had a pre-season under his belt with Wigan and settles into the UK.
He seems to have a decent sense of humour going by the fun he played on TT, at the MOM screen tonight.

He's done OK. I was unenthused by his signing, largely because, if we were going to go to the NRL looking for a forward, I didn't think he was the kind of player we should have been going for. Rather than a Masoe-style bash-em-up, I'd have liked to see us go for one of these powerful hard-running and mobile second-rowers the NRL is full of, like a Joel Thompson or Gavin Cooper. Bloody hell, Parramatta have got a squad almost full of them! And with Lockers coming to the end of his days, that's an area we could really do with strengthening in my opinion.

You have to give him this season if he's still playing like a pudding this time next season then yes have at him,I suspect though we will start to see the real FPN next season.

I will give you 2 letters to show how a player who over a year was called a waste can improve.

TT

Our best impact on the pitch all season and most consistent prop. Gives me the wobbles still with an off load but he is by far the best prop over this season in terms of taking on the opposition.

Hold my hands up.I thought TT was a liability just a few short months ago.This season hes been a revalation at times.Seems a nice bloke also.

FPN,Potential to be a Shelford or Skerret perhaps.

I agree with your comments re- TT as an impact player. I've changed my opinion about him. He excites me when he gets ball in hand. Like Gells does. Too soon to judge Frank. Next season will give us a better appreciation of him as Fozzie says.

my wife called it last that'd Tautai would be a solid player,don't know what she saw in him but she gives me a knowing nod of the head each time he comes on now

Still could be a liability but so much improved and a real handful to bring down. He is looking for the off load but this season the crazy ones have dried up.
