Nothing wrong with taking a game over there but it was stupid to potentially give 2 teams only 1 game over Easter. Salford still have 7 other home games to choose from to do it.

Agree, I also think but no offence to those teams just like it would be pointless TRinity playing over there but I'd have liked to see say a Leeds v Wigan game over there and see what the response and turn out would be. Maybe not this season because of the travels those teams have done but maybe next year.

Attractive female official gets Super League match day role

Hull have signed Lewis Bienek from London Broncos. 3 and a half year deal but he's been loaned straight back to London for the rest of the season.
19 year old prop.

Great signing with potential to be the best prop in the comp. I bet just about every SL club was after him.

Seriously, knocking down Acadmey players for fun!

He might do really well but how you can be so ridiculously sure is beyond me.

Remember Chris Feather. Unstoppable at 19 and after a decent start lost his way. Funny because on the same day Trinity signed a makewight called Gareth Ellis.

That`s why i said potential to be, as a lot of players have great potential.. Not too sure how i sounded sure about anything?

At 19 he not only looks comfortable but is making championship props look pathetic, never seen such a physically developed 19 year old and to say props usually mature towards there late 20s the early signs are looking very good.

St Helens had a prop. Cant remember his name. Was unplayable at academy age. These very forums were awash with Saints fans claiming he was going to be the best prop ever. Made his debut against Bradford, got smashed by Sam Burgess and was never seen again

Again... We are not talking just about academy level here but at championship level as well, which is the difference.

Turned Saints down to sign with Hull FC.

TBF Fui Fui Moi Moi (In his prime) got smashed by a 19 year old Sam Burgess.

No he isn't, much of that footage is Academy games, games in which you see this rather a lot. Yes some are from the championship but if you were to edit down to a couple of minutes of any player you'd end up making them look great I'm surprised folk still fall for that.

That's not to say he isn't any good but potentially one of the best in SL, way to early especially when you consider the stick Wakefield fans get for pushing Johnstone and he's a positive veteran by comparrison.

There are two sets of fans who are far worse than any others when it comes to hyping up young players, they are Cas and London fans to whom every half decent player is a 'potential' superstar but very rarely deliver.

Vasty, I remember quite some years ago you were hailing Dale Ferguson as a shoe-in for GB honours and said super stardom.

Shot yourself in the foot their matey. Never said he was a shoe in for GB, never said any such thing - please supply the quote!

At the time people mainly Cas fans and Eddie Hemmings were touting Westerman as the next England captain

I said Ferguson was as good a SL player as Westerman don't recall saying either were international standard - Ferguson is still a SL player, please remind me where Westerman is. Don't exagerate to hide your own foolishness regarding Westerman, just admit I was right - a totally over rated player as is the Cas way.

Have extended Matt Cooks (1 year), and Oliver Holmes (2 years), contracts.

Both cracking players. Cook really goes unnoticed by many but he’s a proper grafter, makes good metres and defends very well.

It’s funny how some players get huge plaudits when others producing the same level of play don’t.
