All I know is this kid played 9 for England at morgans age and he couldn't get the starting 9 place..

I am led to believe Morgan actually plays a few positions, but this scout says hooker will be the one he cements. I believe he might be only 15 now though.

With him been 15 he cant sign a deal till he leaves school in a years time.this parker kid I believe is hull fc captain and top scored for England over 3 international games.my son says he is an outstanding player

Welcome Rhinos71!
Will be interesting to see if young Smith does break through or if we do actually sign Parker.
JC-Re Mcshane i think he's a decent 9 and has abetter distribution than RB and adds a very good option for as a kicker.
Now i agree last week he was awful and this call by Mc on its merits is the right one but when we see your hero Lummox getting into the 17 week in week out irrespective of performance that's where it gets questioned even more so when we don't have a recognised 9 in the squad.
JP ,Sinfield ,Hall ,Delaney ,Jjb ,Burrow( starting at 7 or bench at 9) are the only ones i think who are undroppable with Possibly Hardaker and Watkins the rest imo are fair game and should know their spot is under threat and on this seasons form i include Mags.

So regards to both these prospects we would be looking at 3+ years before we see them play SL on a regulat / semni regular basis IF they both continue in the fashion they are going at present. Funny thing is at that age the body matures differently and players can appear to be a big step above the other players, but given a couple of years are caught up and become much the same. Would be great to see them come through further but although you can say, this kid has great potential, unlike football, rugby requires some size that may come or go depending on their own body growth.

Lets bring Lunt back on a 3 yr deal and then se where these lads are?

So you have your favourites too



[uNobody[/u should be exempt

You may face off against your hooker for next year tonight .....

paul aiton? always liked him. quick, tough. niot sure about his passing off the ground mind

He's a cracking player.

And just a whisper I'm hearing.

always did like him. always looks good whenever I see wakey playing.
a 'proper' no 9 too

Thought we agreed not to talk about Bailey?




I fully agree that Burrow is better at 7 but I think he is much maligned at 9. Of course he isn't the identikit of a typical 9 but rather like Sinfield is not the typical 6 the coaches have found ways to keep their best players on the field for the maximum time with so far good results. Most of the other sides and coaches really fear Burrow at 9 or 7 because he is a match winner and even when not making clean breaks he takes out so many defenders and wears them out.
