Dont forget this isn't an argument but just clearly a statement.......

Point One - You clearly didnt read what I wrote.....
Luke Briscoe went to Wakefield and returned to Rhinos after playing one game. They considered dual reg with Hunslet but it was publicly announced that he could not get into the Hunslet side, so went back to Wakefield and hasn’t played since. SO he cannot get in the team.

Point 2 - Also NRL U20s isn't quite the same as playing NRL first team. I expect its nearer to a bottom half Championship standard at most.

Point 3 - And although I agree much of the Chamopinship One sides are poor. The Rhinos U19s would give them all a game - with the exception of maybe Hunslet and York. I seem to remember Hunslet playing Rhinos second string in January and you had Kylie, Bailey, Singleton, Achurch and Clarkson all in the pack and still lost.

Point 4 - I do wonder whether playing at London and having 50 points put past them every week really brings on their Super League Skills.

It's an interesting one and I suppose we'll only see in two or three years time. I always thought that Baldwinson would be a good player, not so convinced on Tonks.
Will they think they have failed after being released so soon? OR
Will they think that it was an experience worth having and treat it as part of their rugby education?

Time will tell and we'll find out then.

Baldwinson wrote on Twitter in response to somebody....

"I was playing well mate! Just my future is slim mate a lot of top NRL players sign long deals! Take me years to get a sniff"

Could've told him that 12 months ago tbh.

Whilst I am happy to have Baldwinson back based upon how highly others rated him and how much wailing and gnashing of teeth we had when he left it does worry me that the lad has now shown a real lack of patience in a short time span. Not happy with his path to the 1st team at Leeds, so he's off. Not happy with his path to the first team at NZ, so he's off.

I may have put 2 and 2 together but it doesn't speak volumes.

Another Baldwinson tweet, to his pals Cam Leeming and Ryan Hampshire was "it's mental how strong the comp is, I haven't played one bad player yet!! everyone just freaks"

This is a pretty good sign for him, imo. He'll have learnt a lot about what these young players do and be a long way ahead in development compared to if he'd have been trundling around the championship. Bradford might come as a bit of a shock to him though.

Another GH masterplan.

I swear, that guys like an evil genius.
