Cheers. I assumed that it was one if the academy lads but his name wasn't mentioned on the players list for next year that I found. Must have been an old list.

From today's T&A article:

"Head coach Smith, who is also believed to be eyeing moves for two more props in Ben Evans and Scott Wheeldon, said: "Ross has got a point to prove."

If we got both of them I would be very happy with our set of props for next year.

I particularly like the quote that Ross would play for Bradford for free.

Exactly what we need, players with passion for the club.

Given our heavily rumoured financial problems, what we [iactually[/i need is players who will play for free

6ft 4 is Liam Kirk according to Bulls site.

He's a unit.

I can look at his physical attributes and his more than welcome statement of intent in the T&A and even factor in coach Smith's talk of him being one for the future, but is it just me, or does anyone else wonder, given the way we're discussing Ross here, why he has struggled to get a game for Keighley? Who if I may remind everyone, are in the league below us.

Because they never have the ball, and so go-forward forwards aren't required.

He has been getting in the team? He's made 21 appearances this year scoring 8 tries.

8 in 22 games according to the Player Stats page on Keighley's website.

I would be stunned if anything on there is up to date. He has played a lot more tham 8 games.

think hamsterchops meant 8 tries in 22 appearances. not 8 appearances

Indeed I did.

Blooming 'eck!

"Pot calling kettle" springs to mind

Seriously though, he has an awful lot of potential, just needs someone to bring him on. If Rohan ....Fangorn .... Hobbiton... Whatever his name is, is half the coach his uncle is I'm sure you will have a great asset.

He needs to loose weight, get fit and spend some time with a good experienced prop. It's a big loss for Keighley, in my opinion, but our (soon to be ex) coach, was never going to get the best out of him.
