Barrie Mac did all the 'groundwork' that allows him to BANG ON about BEN and other young players that he, and other scouts and SL coaches watched on Sunday mornings - keep listening 'PEOPLE' because he knows what he's talking about (most of the time anyway )

On that note - I saw 3 of Ben's former team-mates from that Golborne team on show in the u19s game today - Andy Ackers and Jacques Peet for the Wire and Greg Wilde for Saints NEXT WEEK, I hope to see 2 more if we're playing Salford u19s(not seen fixtres yet) - Ross Pendlebury and Chris Hankinson

Keep it up BAZ - these lads might never have been given this opportunity, but for the likes of you watching the 'so-called' SMALLER CLUBS'

Well obviously I am not writing him off, I can only comment on a player from what I have seen. I'm not one to just go with the hype and say he's the next Paul Sculthorpe without seeing him.

I didn't really see much to suggest he will be the next Sculthorpe, or whatever, from what I saw on Friday. I fully appreciate that you have seen him play a hell of a lot more than I have, though.



You really weren't that bad, seriously.

I think you are underestimating how well we actually played and in doing so have attributed our win for the fact you were 'bad'. I think that is a bit ignorant tbh, especially if you scratch the first 20mins off as the other 60mins was evenly balanced.

I didn't see anything from him against Saints. He looks a decent prospect, but he didn't lead your pack like the opening post suggests. I would say solid at best, which in itself is probably an indication he'll turn out to be a good player when you are talking about young forwards.

Very strange comparison to Sculthorpe, I haven't seen anything to suggest he is that type of player. Strong, powerful runner with excellent speed and balance.

That lad has got a shocking wear on him and with him on I reckon with Salford we may have a chance. Of course I said that to some people last year but we played badly

What is "a shocking wear". I must have missed that.
