| He is a Saddleworth Rangers lad that has been with us since the U15's. Sad to see him go, he is a hard working hooker, very good tackler and dangerous near the line. He always seems to be backing up when there is a break as well. I am pretty sure he made the England Academy squad in 2012 and if we still had an U20's competition in SL he would still be with us. In the U19's this year he has only missed one game ( in order to play for Swinton) and has scored 12 tries. I would say you have got a good deal (all just IMO ).

| Right, so we have sold this lad, and Sean Kenny has not been offered a new contract (hooker), Dwyer on Loan, who will be our third hooker because Mickey won't be playing every week?

We don't know the terms of Dwyer's contract with London. Presumably they will only be paying his match fees, so they are getting a bargain if he shows good form and plays each week. The quid pro quo might be that he is released back to us with x weeks notice if required.
Just a guess.

| The hooker in the modern game isn't so specialist anymore, more like a third halfback and Wire have halfbacks coming out of the proverbial.

I'd say the first part of that post is old school narrow minded thinking, and not accurate atall.
You often see half backs getting pushed to Hooker, never the other way around

Good luck to Maneely he always looked capable and it is good he has been picked up by Marshall.
Strangely hadn't thought about this but with Maneely, Kenny and Dwyer gone it could even mean our lad is the next out and out specialist hooker in the club although I dare say Grix, Ratchford or Myler will be used if required.

Oh and for the record, IMHO hooker is a specialist position and if you get it wrong your team will not perform. And our lad was a halfback turned hooker, as FMC says you very rarely see players starting as hooker and then becoming a halfback.

| Oh And I already know ducky is going to refer to monas, who was halfback by trade, and only moved to hooker to accommodate Matt Orford. As has been said many times over, Mick was signed off the back of his performances playing scrum half in 07 when he should have been picked for origin.
He is most definitely the exception that proves the rule.

From the U19's games I've seen Ryan has always performed well. Can really punish teams around the ruck in attack, and his tackle technique is great. If there was a U21's or U23's I'm sure he wouldn't be leaving.

| U19s is such a young age to make a long term decision on a player.
