17 year old ex-Cas Panthers according to Dewsbury site, but no other info.

yeah i agree, wonder were we'll play him considering it says loose/stand off, unless TM thinks its a good way of "phasing" shifty out.

Given his age and the fact we're loaning out the Under 20's loose forward and captain, I expect he'll feature @ 13 for them.

anybody able to give us some info on barber?? like what is game will bring us and how you all rate him?

josh tonks is only 18,no chance of playing in your first team yet,hes not featured for us this year but played 1 game last year away to blackpool and scored from off the bench,not the biggest of lads but a good move allround,should help both players

Ed is a half back whose a loose-forward but a loose-forward thats a half-back. Let me explain.
Half backs need pace - Ed has the pace of a forward.
Forwards need tough aggression - Ed has the toughness of a back.

He is a top lad but is deficient in the skills needed for the positions above, if you could add pace to him he would be a top half back or if you added toughness to him he would be a top back row forward. Great kicker for goal and out of hand. Forwarding the clock a few years i think he'll be a ball handling front rower who doesn't hit it up !!

Bit like Kevin Sinfield then?
