What's the deal with him now?


I know he's injured atm, but it doesn't look likely that he'll get another contract / chance so where will he end up? Somewhere in SL or in championship?

He should be given the chance to establish himself as a first teamer. He was good when he burst onto the scene, and has been limited in chances since. Another one who's face doesn't fit in my books.

Him and Crossley should have been given plenty of chances along with Kopzcak, I'm not saying Kopzcak isn't doing good enough, but James has been treated a little unfairly in my books.

I'd disagree. I've never seen enough from James to suggest he was going to be good enough to be a first team regular. Always had plenty of potential, never seen a sign he was gonna realise it.

I wouldn't be too gutted to see him go, but the potential means I wouldn't be gutted for him to stay either.

He's never had a really good game in the first team though and I'd say anyone who thinks he has, had the rose tints on at the time. We all like to think a young player has played better than he has because of a natural bias towards wanting our own academy products to do well. It's hardcoded into fans of all sports. I think if people look at James' perfomances in a Bulls shirt objectively, he hasn't really shown enough to warrant a regular place.

The two places i've heard suggested are Hull KR and Wigan

I've heard another SL club, not as high up as those two, and already signed. But how accurate it is, I couldn't say for sure. Usually a good source though.

Giz a clue then ?

Yorkshire?

Lancs ?

No to either

But then again, as I outlined in another thread, there ARE no Lancashire clubs in Super League officially.

I wouldn't want to say unless it's wrong as I don't like starting rumours etc. I will say the club I heard though probably has the best head coach for him.

Salford or Hull FC.

Saints ?

Wire ?

Hudds ?

Did here Quins but i thought he ddin't want to move that far.

Ahhh. Brian Mac would be a good coach for a young prop with potential, look at LMS.
