So by your own admission you are a troll?

Both of them are but pale imitations of the original, but sadly flawed Uber Troll AP

You have only just reached this conclusion - where have you been for the past five years

No. AP is a troll.

Watkins has a very good future ahead of him at the rhinos, regardless of which players the club signs in the future. this kid is class

I know you don't actually watch many games but surely you watch the televised ones before reaching your bizarre opinions.

Did you, per chance, watch last year's CC semi against Saints?

Discipline was poor last year under Mclennan. Granted, it's been going downhill rapidly this year and is now much worse but it wasn't great last year either.

I hope you are right,but this has to be another wind up? I've seen this guy quite a few times this season on Setanta ane he is awesome,has size,strength,speed and great under high ball both in defence and as an attacking option on last tackle.

Not heard any rumours (until yours) that we're looking at him though and from what the Aussie commentators have been saying many see him as another Falou kind of player in the making so given such huge wraps I cannot see him leaving the NRL any time soon?

Dont we know

Only another troll could possibly perceive any form of "victory" in such an achievement.

Perhaps because there are good young players out there capable of being at least squad players in SL but currently attached to NL clubs?

What little I've seen of Coady for example, he looks like he has the tools to play at a higher level. Whether he can convert that with the right guidance is an unknown, but gambles like that are the reason players like Ian Kirke, Ade Gardner and Paul Deacon have the medals they've got.

because there are germs out there. You know, like Danny Brough who you think is a real quality scrum half and Ian kirke who you think is a quality forward.

Danny Brough would definately fill that description..



Seriously though, I think there is a lot of quality beef in the lower divisions that would go well with improved training and playing at a higher level with better half backs etc. My favourite example is Darren Fleary.

Backs though tend to be more conspicuous. I doubt there are too many rough diamonds waiting to be polished up - pace tends to be fairly obvious.

I always thought Craig Calvert at Haven might have been worth a look at a higher level....

He was, the other one is the young kid McNally who signed for Huddersfield from under the noses of our tactical forward thinking stooges at HQ.

Instead Leeds are stuck with a backwards moving 7 who is starting to look a little punch drunk.

Ask yourself this about McNally though.

If he is genuinely going to be that good, why had no other SL club moved to bring him on board before the Giants did?

Even in deepest, darkest Cumbria talented kids don't go unspotted by SL clubs as they come through the Service Area system.

That's almost impossible to answer Andy, a lot depends on how he is coached I guess and whether he physically and mentally can make that step up.

In terms of no other club looking at him, I aren't too sure on that either, maybe its the obsession with oversees 7s and with it being such a pivotal role clubs are risk averse?

Other clubs did look to get him onboard.

Leeds had him on trial twice for example, and got complacent thinking they had him in the bag.

He went to Huddersfield because it fits in best with his studies, which is something outside of the game.

Didn't Brown say at the moment he's way off SL level?

Is that the same Danny Brough that I said to you only yesterday we shouldn't touch with a bargepole?

Kirke has been a relative success at Leeds, and is probably one of the better value for money players at the club.

Brough reminds me of Bobby Goulding, I have no idea why though!!

Both cocky little tw*ts with no brains.

He's not ready for SL and I'm sure he'd admit that himself.

He floats his passes, goes missing in games and makes a lot of wrong choices in attack and defence.

If he ends up being good enough he'll end up at Leeds anyway.

Yes, the same one you said was a really quality scrum half.

Danny Brough is a good scrum half, but comes with far too much baggage. Still I suppose, over the years, lots of good 7's have had their "problems". I still maintain he shouldn't be on our radar as a potential recruit.

The best English Scrum halves have had personality issues!

Murphy, Tommy Bishop,Gregory, Goulding etc
