If Magraf stopped hiding in the centres when his team mates need a hand, and made a bigger nuisance of himself, he could go a long way.

I thought Castle had a contract with us for next season and re Leulai I agree with Alex,s Dad but Leulai has always wanted to be a stand off.

have you ever thought that Macgraff was actually told to play as a wide running second rower???

The plus point about Leulia is his age, he's a talented player who is highly rated by ALL the coaching staff, and has a contract until the end of next season.

Was thinking the same myself. Also he did his fair share of talking the first and second ball in.

He will play his way into a SL side next season under Basils coaching he is already a big talent.

Macgraff needs some end of season steriods this guys strength & build seriously lets him down if he bulked up he'd be a far more effective player!

Cant see anything in Leuluai personally however, I'm willing to be impressed!

You must have missed some of the lines he ran at times last season.

So it's not just me then , personnally I've been very dissapointed , not big enough for centre or 2 nd row , and lacking in skills to play elsewhere , I'd take Rudd and many other before him

Yeah, must have

Its ok running lines but you hav to make meters and find spaces!

The lad drifts out of play and doesnt look like having a frame which could be developed to me.

Not big enough for the pack not quick enough for the backline IMO

Living on his family name.

Think Blackpool have been talking to Rudd

And doesn't count on the Salary Cap!!

He's only 18 though, Steve - and must be capable of being developed? I've always liked Rudd, since he first burst on the scene (at Whitehaven, in a surprise win?) but he seems to be permanently injured - and must be considered high risk.

Widnes



Just my opinion oF Mcgraf , I cannot really see him getting much bigger given the build of his dad and brother , so i dont know where he will fit in , i was very surprised he got the length of run out at the end of the season he did

Try at Halifax in the cup springs to mind. If anything, I think, in hindsight, he was thrown in to the first team a little too early before he could properly develop. If people are saying time is on Govin's side at 24 then I think Leuleui at 18 has a similar chance to progress!

Well - we've got him for at least another year.....lets at least give the lad a chance to see what 12 months under a world class coach can do for his game.

IMHO I don't think he did much wrong this season. You certainly can't fault his effort.

He'll become a good, solid player who will make breaks and score tries near the line. There's something there to work with, and he's only 18, his stint's in the first team will help him next year I think we'll see him improve throughout next season.

Well big players in RL aren,t always the best neither are the fastest. Leulai is 18. I think at the end of next season he will have answered those pro, anti and undecided.

Hopefully I will be wrong , it wont be the first time

In the few games I saw live last season, I have to say I was impressed by his work ethic, fitness and also his relative speed off the mark - he seemed to punch his weight also at least - the big downer was his lack of passing to his centre..especially neat the line - we should have used Nanyn more..

but in the little I saw I saw enough to give him a chance under Millward and at a lower standard of comp...there are worse players that have been around a decade or more!

Leuluai not BIG enough??? What do you want ?? He's raw boned and runs hard! What more can you ask nobody seem to call JT for not being big enough must be because he's from Leigh?

PR says that Leuluai was the 1st player he tied to next season during his spell in charge and an offer has been made to Ainscough also the club have spoken to a number of young players who are set to be released from SL because of an under 20s comp next season.

Couldnt agree more. The lad will come on leaps and bounds under Basil.
