I See this is a young lad that has been released by the Rhinos, who can play stand off and loose forward. I Don't know much about the 20yr old, but is he worth giving a go. He's english too. He played 5 games for Leeds this season and cannont get a game for the likes of McGuire and Sinfield.

Was thinking the same myself would offer us cover in the halfs and at loose forward (both positions we need more cover for) is english, wont be that expensive either i would imagine.

Matterson/RW whoever should have been on the phone to his agent as soon as he was released, he's just the type of player Cas need in the squad, young, English and can cover positions the team are light on. Would be a good signing.

am guessing he has something lined up/signed already.......he has left while under contract.

Until a contrat is signed though it doesnt matter, he will go for the best offer.

Sounds like he's keen to play first team rugby. Would he get it with us?

I guess there is a lesson there to any young player looking to join an academy. You are probably better off at Cas or Wakey if you want a decent shot at first team rugby. Maybe this was why the Leeds academy team was so pants this season!

Lets face it, its the wrong time to be an up and coming youngster at Leeds. With an excellent team and some good players in reserve, the younger generation like Allan wont get their chance. Leeds cant keep every promising youngster on their books as they will want to chance their arm and find 1st team football. Can't blame Allan really for moving on and progressing his career.

I think he'd do a good job for the likes of your team or one of the lower ranked SL teams, coming on as an impact player maybe, if there are no starting positions to suit him.

Especially when you consider how they are now bying in from doncaster, whitehaven and wakey rather than promoting from there youth system. Having said that the leeds academy has been poor the last few seasons.

Especially when you consider what we've bought from Whitehaven & Wakey - very good buys imo and wont do any harm bringing in those players and developing them abit further into becoming top SL players.

They may well turn out to be so and be able to plug the gap from the lack of academy success in the last few years. As long as there young and english its good for rl.

Here, here

he did seem to be a decent prospect when i saw him play in those games earlier on this year, he could do a lot of teams a lot of good in the coming seasons

Quote ="Tictac"Gone to Fev www.featherstonerovers.net/2009/news112.htm'" He obviously isnt that good then. Lol. I have to admit though, Fev are building a good squad for next season, definate championship contenders.

He was good enough to cut our lot to ribbons when that academy side beat us at headingley the other year though


I wouldn't have minded signing him tbh

He was offerd to cas 6 weeks ago but they were not in a position to give a offer at that time 2yrs at fev might just be right for him but then he will cost a lot more

Does this theory include the prospect of joining Wakey or Cas and never having a hope in hell of winning anything?

nice to see a new scum troll

another failed medical experiment trolling i see, geez baz where the fuc do they keep coming from

What a numpty you are chunky,but i forgive you for being thick,i cannot forgive you for your obvious ignorance though



Would you please try to get this idea into your thick skull if you can,and you may see what clubs like Cas and Wakey can do for players who havn't made the grade at the so called big clubs

Danny Allen would not be guaranteed of winning any trophies at a club like the Tigers, but i would have loved it if the Tigers had actually signed Allen,i also believe that we would could have offered him a better career path than he will get at the "flat cappers" in the national leagues

Blinkered band waggon glory supporters who are a bit thick like you will never understand that though, but i suppose that come next season that you will have completely forgot who he is anyway

Sure is.

Who Have all just picked up yet another GF winners ring.

But of course these players would have been far better off signing for Cas or Wakey.

You might just have a point with Ablett but IIRC the rest progressed pretty quickly to the first team squad and would never have faced the dilemna of waiting around on the remotest off-chance of regular SL football. The likes of Rayner and Carvell probably think moving on worked out ok.

As do fox, murrel etc

Yes they all missed out on hounours. I doubt they wouldn't swap what they have now for what they could have had with a bit of patience.

Infact, it could also be argued, that without that first option of joining the Leeds academy that they may never have got to where they are today.

How is Ablett any different to Burgess, Smith, and Hall anyway?
