| So in amongst, the Bulls seemingly beat others to sign a highly rated young kid with exciting potential. Great - something else to slate and sledge the club for doing.

Indeed. Yet another example of the club having no ambition or plan for the future and being in terminal decline. The board and everyone involved in the management of the club should all be sacked immediately.

Given he's only 17 and number of standoffs ahead of him he'd have to be pretty special to push his way into contention. From way piece on bulls website is worded I don't think we'll see him in first team for a couple of years.

Yeah, I was kidding really, but it would be just what we need to unearth another prodigy. Many of the best halfbacks in the game were playing 1st team before they were 20. IIRC Edwards was at 17.

That's the problem at the club unless it's forwards we seem unwilling to give young backs a chance perfectly illustrated with Cain Southernwood.

No not me I've said all year the Cain deserved his chance more so than Briggs did when every one was clamouring for his selection for the first team.

| thought you'd said neither was performing at a level that suggested they should be in 1st team but must be mixing you up with someone else. does southernwood look likely to feature in st team next year? seems to have dropped off radar a bit under potter, but if hes coming on well would help explain why we keep signing standoffs and overlooking scrum half.

I was certainly one who said that Cain wasn't, I think the expression I used was, "pulling up any trees", in the U20s. Truth is he hasn't been; he's been OK but not outstanding and certainly not putting in the kind of performances which scream "pick [ime[/i" at the coach.
It's true to say I said the same about Tom Burgess too,(cos he wasn't either, in all honesty) and he's been galvanised by the challenge, so who's to say Cain won't be the same?
