His best position is 7 too.

Is he quick & can he tackle?
Although I guess the talents he needs most of all are the ability to organise, read the game & pass well on both flanks.
I don't expect too much do I?

Forgot to add, needs an excellent long & short kicking game.

Is Dixon better than BJB? I know he has pace to burn but BJB is no slouch, also I'm not sure he has the aerial threat.

I wouldn't be overly concerned if i was Vickery or Bjb because it seems to me that it's gonna become a bidding war and i'd expect bioth Wire and Salford to offer more £££££ than we will.
It will also come down to the kids ambition and we may get him if we offer Bjb aswell as £££ but for me we have potential in the form of Ash Handley who is very fast and Duckworh who has pace and power.

Don't want him here myself, to me he's poor defensively, the next Kevin Penny or Leroy Rivett.
His hattrick try last weekend vs the Bulls was due to him being in totally the wrong place when the Bulls attacked his wing where he picked up a poor pass with no defender in front of him & scotted 90 m to score.
He has pace to burn but nothing more.
Now just watch him score 3 against us this Friday!!

Edited for Burrows new contract.

This means that Ryan Bailey, Joe Vickery, Ian Kirke, Brad Singleton left OOC.

I think Bailley is on a rolling contract

I'm pretty certain Kirke will be here next year also.

Not too sure to be honest, didn't he stay partly because of being local for his degree, I think that finishes this year, and he could very well move to pastures new

Vickery could become the new 'Kirke' for the backs......nobody can quite understand what the club/coach sees in him

I have admiration and respect for you and W5 who see the 'kids' regularly and are always seen to be promoting them. As many have noted I am great believer in giving youth a chance and promoting from within if the talent is good enough.....so I am inclined to agree with you that the likes of Handley and Duckworth (and I respect your opinion as an undoubtedly avid knowledgeable unofficial talent scout) should be given every opportunity first and foremost.

BJB being injured would have been the ideal chance to see one or both of these lads in action with the first team: Watkins should never have been moved to FB (with Watson available) nor now should he be shifted out onto the wing when apparently good enough options are readily available to step out there.

Watkins is in danger of being turned into a rich man's Lee Smith like utility player rather than left to settle into the RC position.

Don't bet on it

Think Leeds will want to keep him though. Whatever some fans think of him, McDermott has quite a bit of faith in him and gives him good minutes compared to say Moore or Griffin who I'd expect to be out of the door before Kirke.

I am pretty sure from memory that kirke was offered more elsewhere but opted for Leeds with uni. With uni finished he may be more tempted to move IF anyone else tables an offer
