Craig Kopczak : Fri Apr 18, 2014 8:26 pm  

What does everyone think to Craig kopczak performances this season. They've not been as good as last season but still think he's our best prop.

Just wondering what everyone else thought of him this season?

Re: Craig Kopczak : Fri Apr 18, 2014 8:29 pm  

Best prop? He has never been that. I think he has been very poor. He has a real lack of go forward and his defence could be better. He was a lot better last season.

Re: Craig Kopczak : Fri Apr 18, 2014 8:33 pm  

He is our best prop after all our other props.

I thinks he's gone a bit soft and doesn't deserve a place in the team at the moment.

Our best prop has been Fuey who is a hooker/LF/so.

I think the interesting thing is Brough, Cudjoe, Ferres, Mullally, Kopczak and Ta'ai have all underperformed since being on world cup duty.

I think he's improving this season. He's not a bench prop by a long. Not having as good a season as last but he came out of a World Cup, had a disruptive pre season regarding the warm up games along with the rest of team. I believe he'll be firing come the business end.

IMHO he's been poor up till now, this season. Slightly better than previous yesterday. Erol went well l thought, ran a lot stronger than previous weeks. Its funny, once we got our tails up, we looked comfortable bat the silly penalties again, although a couple in front of me in the last stand late on, were an obsolute joke. Amazing what happens when a little confidence builds.

he has been pretty poor this season, but the again none of our forwards have hit the heights they did last year.
the pack looked a lot better with larne back yesterday, it seemed the whole pack lifted their workrate to match larne's
thought Eorl had a pretty good game too.

Good point, hopefully fully upto speed come the 2nd half of the season.

kopczak has gone ok, seen him put in some big runs this season...but overall the props have been 2nd best this season...so far

Very disappointing, he was good last year, had a poor world cup for Wales and seems to have brought that form to us.
