i am really impressed by him, big lad likes to run with ball and also ball player will turn out to be as big a signing as fitz and o,meley this season and the other thing only 20

Another decent game but I am glad Long is coming back. Shown enough to suggest we have a good player in the making but those comparisons are a bit ott imo.

Glue? Or something harder?

Had a quiet game last night, noticed he did not do the kicking duties as much as he did last week (kicks well), good defender strong, distributes the ball well, very close to a good try last night..however has to develop and gain in confidence I do not expect him to be hitting his straps yet,will take more game time, though when he does he will be quality..

Bang on the the head even ?

Radiator Liquid. Same effect but a lot quicker.

Did a solid job IMO. Wouldn't want him to be our "go to" HB but didn't need to be with the 2006 Richard Horne running the show.

people sniff that?

Agree, however he is worth the investment of inclusion when we need the plan b.

Plenty of promise but not ready yet. Reminds me a bit of Leon Price,

I said that last week, I am totally buying into the kid, I see some-thing special but like you say early days yet.

Still a long way to go to prove he can play in the halves imo. If Long isnt back next week i'd play Whiting at 6.

Not great last night, but is young and learning.

Agree, and now he has dipped into the team for a couple of weeks and got some hunger for it he can dip out again and be used for cover. He's a great young addition to the squad and will be a star of the future i think.

Could have played last night at a push

Thought he had a poor game last night, would have replaced him with Whiting if Long wasn't back next week. Think it will still be a year or two before we see the best of him.

It's nice to know we can win without him mate isnt it.

Quite agree. He will play a few games this year, but is not quite at the stage where he is a regular.

Very astute signing, though.

Think he looks a great prospect, has a good turn of pace and a few different ideas to the usual tactics.

not ready for a first team place when everyone is fit, but a good squad player for the moment

is that for sure??
I heard a chap saying he had been told that the injury was worse than FC are letting on

first time for a long time we had been able to say that statement huh??

A bit harsh that.I think he has filled in pretty well and has done everything asked of him.Still young and raw but a star in the making.

Wouldn't go as far as saying he was poor but was much quiter last night and didn't really have much influence on the game.

Yup. When you look at the last few years and look how poor we were when Dykes and Head were injured we were clueless. (last year we were clueless with our first choice 7 fit)

Nice to see we've learnt how to win in different ways.

Its a luxury to finally have thought process in more than one head on the park, even Horne appears to be looking up and around again which is nice to see!!
I agree though we can now win in many different ways depending on the mnatch in process
