Hauraki not Leeds fed trained, could put Dane Manning (Halifax) in his place....

We let Larne go way back. Another late bloomer.

Handy pack, that. All hail Chris Caisley!

I wouldn't exactly call him a late bloomer. He was 20 when he made his debut for Huddersfield, and has played continuously since. Seems he was just waiting for an opportunity, rather than changing overnight.

The number of times I have come across seeing a late bloomer, I could count of one hand. Really isn't that many to have happened. Most stars in the game either debut early, or end up with a change of position that revitalises them.

I can't say I've ever rated Patrick. He's one of those overrated underrated players. Also, from what I've seen of him Hudds got the better end of the deal as Jack Hughes has been very solid for Hudds, where as Patrick has looked pretty terrible for Wigan.

We let him go when Nobby was still with us IIRC so he was v young when he left. I don't think he's that good but he can break the line sometimes. He wins a bench spot on my Bulls "Have a look at what you could've been XVII".
