Quote ="The Reaper"He’s struggled a bit this year albeit I think he’s improved over the last few weeks. Apparently he’s been playing on with a knee problem for a lot of the year so could explain his downturn somewhat. Doing better in contact now he’s stopped turning his back going into contact. Unless he adds some weight, he’s more than likely going to be another Matty Lees rather than a big metre eating prop. I think he’s going to be a good player but probably not the level of which his early reputation suggested. Still only 20 though I believe so plenty of time on his side.
I agree about Stephens, he’s a very exciting prospect. Not sure if his fitness is way under par or what but Wellens seems reluctant to play him for more than 15 minutes a game'"
He looks unfit to me. Carrying quite a large amount of timber. I know he is a prop but he needs conditioning properly. I said to YG a couple of weeks ago that he looks like the best player out of the ones that have come through this year. He is going to be a top notcher IMO but that fitness definitely needs some work. Delaney just reminds me of Partington. Loads of heart but a bit of a crash barrier, not many yards but won't take a backward step.

I remember the Wakefield debacle with Pat not being awarded the try ,I also thought we were done after that but fairplay, things changed and our fans backed the team even more after that.
