No 16, came off bench tonight and played well.

Signed from Bradford I believe.

Position?

was he a prop

He took the ball up well and made plenty of ground also Matt James played well too.

well played tonight young man, outstanding think we got a star in the making.

agreed.....so why is james going on loan to Halifax....

yes went very well....keep it up lad

Shhhh

Uh-oh, here come the giants!!!

tom signed for us few months ago from bradford, he on part time deal,works up at ypo at 41, smashing kid his dad really proud guy i guess tonight

Is he the prop? Get him on a fulltime deal quick, they're like gold-dust!

didnt he come from us?

Yes I after agree Tom Lillycrop and Matty James had very good games, taking the ball in, and was it Matty James that put a hit on the Eagles player...

Yes

Lillycrop was a real stand out junior when he came into the bradford academy team at 16. George burgess and him were the starting props for the academy in their first full seasons in the academy with tom burgess coming off the bench. I think due to the burgess name and their sheer height the bulls tried to concentrate on developing them more than Lillycrop who is a fair bit shorter than the twins and in the end he has never really had a fair crack at the first team squad. Hopefully he goes well at Wakefield as he seemed a good lad and definitely has the ability if given the right opportunity.

In many ways that sounds a lot like the Ryan Atkins story.
And well well know how well he's done.

Wasn't at the game last night, but will keep an eye out for him in the upcoming friendlies & u21's.

The guy had a good game last night and looks a promising player.

Looked a smaller version of Kieron Cunningham,well played young un.

Always looked a very good prospect his only problem he hasn't seemed to grow much these last few years.

To be fair you are probably comparing him to the Burgess twins in which case not many have

I hope not, he's a prop!!!!

He's bigger than Cunningham though I grant you he's not as chunky. He is smallish for a prop in this day of the monster player but he is six foot so I can live with that.

With the number of subs coming down props are likely to come down in size a bit so he may find it won't be a handicap being on the small side in future. He looked a great prospect a few years ago for us. Good luck to him.

Yes I know he's a prop,just an observation on his stance and running style.
