whats everyone opinon on him?? ive not seen him yet due to the fact im living now and working most sundays in the red rose county but i hope to be at salford and wakefield away games.

Jm has spoken highly of him on?

He had a steady debut v Bradford, and yesterday was only his 2nd game, but his introduction from the bench coincided with the game swinging our way. His offload on half way set up Fitzy to put Dobbo in. This was possibly the key point in the match.

He's possibly worth a contract, depending on the value of that contract.

thanks for that

As Justin said on radio Humberside after the game, with a pre-season at Rovers he could be moulded into the player Morgan wants (hope he doesnt mean the one dimensional style prop we have now lol) but he's a Wakey player and JK may have similar plans for the lad.

I see him as a better option than Makka and Millsy in the front row what with Vella, Fozzard, Lovegrove and Wheeldon taking the first 4 prop spots and have Bibb as the 5th choice along with another front row signing.

He's certainly a better option than Mills (sooner play Heather Mills!). Giving Mills a 2 year deal was a big mistake IMHO.

Yesterday was the first I've seen of him. Looks a decent prospect and as JM mentioned he has an offload game which is something we're desperately lacking.

Harsh to be honest, Mills hasn't been the player he was but then I think he's not been given the run of games in the first team to get upto speed. I dont doubt that when given a chance you have to take it with both hands like Lovegrove has done but they are also two very different players.

Personally think Millsy would suit someone like Salford or Celtic, a solid dependable player, nothing flash but doesnt often let you down, he just gets on with his job but because he doesnt do something amazing he's seen as a waste of space.

I think the problem is people expect him to smash through defences because he's such a big lad, but I can only recall one game last season where he seemed to get is hackles up. On that day he showed he's capable, but we need to see it week in week out.

Bang on for me, agree with all.

He looks a similar size to crabtree.
He has the size to do the same job as Crabtree but he takes the tackle far to easily that is his major flaw tbh!

The thing with Crabtree is he is very mobile for such a big lad and has been using it to great advantage this season.

Looked pretty good against Cas, i dont think he will take up a lot on the cap, hes english so i think he could be an astute signing. If he develops the offloading ability then he will add a new dimension to our pack thats for sure

Key point I feel. I'd say we have the 2nd fastest team (collectively) in the league behind Leeds but we have virtually no 2nd phase/offload game.

We saw in that play how destructive the likes of Fitzhenry & co can be with their support play up the middle but they don't often get the opportunity to show it because our forwards are not in that style.

The only play who can off-load regularly is Walker but he's been a bit-part, bench player. An offloading prop could give us a new dimension to our play.
