Joey talks a million young players up every year, especially if they're Novocastrian.

I don't sopport Saints or Wigan - though Aldi style I like Saints more.

However Smith is not past it and Powell looks to me a far more gifted HB than Lomax will ever be.

He also says Myler can't tackle or open a defence up. Perhaps he should have watched a Warrington game over the last year or two. What a fool.

Aus won't need Brooks for years - Cherry-Evans is already a fantastic player.
