This is just my opinion but anyone close to the club knows the rap on the kid half the ppl at parramatta think he will play for NSW, Australia etc(and have thought this for years).. So to me who has seen a little of him but not enough to make a judgement would assume he must have ability. When i watch him play tho it looks like he just believes all this hype of he will play origin and so on, will just come easy.
Tonight i think the tigers sent alot of traffic at him and it affected his energy level but he didnt show any urgency or hunger i would expect considering he was playing for a position. This was the perfect opportunity
I dont blame him on our loss the whole team was horrible and i think he has unfortunately looked bad because the team was bad the same thing happen to him last year.
Lets compare him to daniel mortimer, when morts played his first couple of games he looked that excited and that pumped and was just striving to play above his ability and since then has continually improved and has been focused on improving.. Kris keating to me just looks like he assumes it will happen for him.
If he wants to play in the halves and move either morts or robo from the starting side he will have to work hard and show alot more than he has at this point.

Criticism where criticism is due but to use the ole liner that Grothe came in off his wing or some crap like that does not wash, the TEAM not Grothe were beaten fairly and squarely
Keating would blossom under a Kimmorly or Thurston etc
Nut gotta agree with johnny, KK and Inu outshon the rest of the team by far. Make no mistake KK is definatly a player to keep an on. With a little more development I can see him at 5 8th for parra and one day quite possibly playing for the blues.
I honestly dont think he is ready to guide the team at 7 id rather tim smith play for us next week,
I still wish Mateo received early ball more often, I don' care what number he wears he is such a dangerous player.
