I offered no judgement on the quality of the article in the programme.

& you just happen to be his agent/dad?

Not sure Sinfield ever did this .... perhaps not even when he was thirteen.

go go gadget eyebrows

I don't think the front row is bad. Its the back row that needs an overhaul. There is just no creativity coming from these men what so ever. Its basic along the line passing. The back rowers need to be running the angles, occasionally collecting the ball hitting the holes and offloading or occasionally creating room for the backs. At the minute its like watching average joe's passing it along the line hoping for a bad missed tackle without actually going all out to create one.
Then there is Keith who took about 15 seconds on Friday to archive a missed tackle next to his name.
Then there is Burrow who is a feeder of the outstanding along the line passing. That is all he is doing, collecting the ball and shipping it on. Occasionally he will throw in his one trick pony 'duck and dive' which hasn't worked this season much. Is all Brian Mc wants out of his 7? St Helens have two cracking young lads running the show for them in the halves. and they still go out and sign Lance Hohaia.

Elliott is looking good as is Wilson but i'll throw in Jimmy Watsons (FB) name who is having a good season and who was outstanding against the Giants with and without the ball.
Agree with Gotcha re-Ward and Young Carvill but Singleton and Nicholson deserve a mention as decent Prop Prospects.
Also does anyone know who the no16 for our u20's was on friday night?
He wasn't the biggest or even the most skillful but he hit like a freight train and left much bigger lads whincing after he'd hit them!!

Wilson - Is that the lad who Leeds cut and he asked to stay on without a contract to try and prove them wrong?

That's the lad mate and he looks promising very strong runner and athletic centre with decent hands.
Of course we've seen many "prospects" in the acadamy that haven't been able to step up but i think IF he continues his form and development he could step up plus you never know until give the lads a chance.

Eastmond in the Grand Final? Wasn't really a chase down but he put in the winger into touch!

Eastmond was playing centre but I'm going to overlook that and give you credit for remembering a Sinfield cover tackle with him putting someone into the flag.

i like cross he makes games good whenlosing cos he fights

It is easy for kids to look brilliant at that age - especially if they are born September - they have almost a year on kids born June/July who play in the same age group.

If he half as good as Hood was at 16 he will be some talent - Hood dominated one of the best Stanningley junior sides I have seen in recent years. Comparable to the Lock Lane side coach by Lee Crooks - which has provided Cas with so many good youngsters

He probably has!

I haven't seen am awful lot of Hood. Do we think he is ready to make the step up any time soon?

No, my little cousin is in the same team (he's also pretty good and signed to Leeds youth).

The lad in question is called Jordan. Not sure of his surname but I thought I'd throw his name in the mix so I look like a genius in 3 or 4 years time when I quote this.

I was speaking to a manager of good ametur football team the other week, watching them train and there was a really tallented player who stood out head and shoulders from the rest. 13yr old, But apparantly he was unlikely to make it as he was "Past it" as the football clubs take the kids into there system very young! madness.

No relivance to this thread just thought Id share!

Hopefully this "Jordan" is as good as you say RR, hopefully make it in a Leeds shirt one day.

What's he doing on thursday?

With a bit of look making his first team debut!!

As good as he is at his level, I think he'd struggle against a team full of real, hard, muscular, professional, top quality, fully developed men.

Oh hang on... it's Bradford on Thursday isn't it.... I'll give him a call.

Unlikely Leeds will be keen with a name like that. Has he considered changing it to Katie?

Modern medicine is doing wonderful things but there are limits.

So, I own you on a different thread, and you have to come and find something else which is easier to find a witty response for and bump it?

Classic Alpha Male.

Meh.

At least you're not so precious about my barbed comments these days. Took Gotcha years to get the hang of it, you picked it up much quicker.

Careful fella, that almost came across as admitting defeat. Quick... beat your chest again before you start developing oestrogen.
