Where is he now. Thought looked a good prospect not seen him since he wasn't getting in at hunslet

I've heard that after reading a scathing critique from Bails about her performance in Spamalot, Bonnie Langford took great exception and laid out TMFMISL with one punch!

Don't ya just love anecdotal nonsense?


PS Never saw Hood do anything to suggest he was good enough at SL level. The fact that an under-par McShane and Robbie kept him out seems indicative that the management didn't think he was good enough either. Good Luck to the kid. Hope he does a Jimmy Lowes and comes back to haunt us, but I doubt it.

That young winger of yours, who hasn't made it, tells a different story..... about how Bailey and JJB wanted to 'go' against half a dozen of them.

Then he deserves the career he gets.

Youngsters with "promise" are just that, they are not guaranteed to develop into top class senior players. If he'd been good enough he would have got his chance. It's a sad excuse to blame other factors, true, there are players who have not had the best of luck coming up, injuries at critical times, being at the back of the queue in a position at a club etc. However, there's more than one club in the competition and there are plenty of kids who have been shown the door to go to other clubs and really do the business.
In fact with the salary cap and the limited senior squad size clubs can run young players should actually expect to play senior rugby at a club other than the one they play academy rugby at. It's pretty clear that a junior signing for a SL club is highly unlikely to graduate to the senior side at the same club.

Forgot his name. Ryan? Maybe? He made the comments on his social network.
