We have really only glimpsed the talents of Rhys Evans in the first team ,but he does seem to pick up injuries at an alarming rate & would his body stand up to regular SL as the centre of choice ?

You do begin to wonder if he is going to be one of those players that struggles from one injury to the next and finally has to retire from the game. My concern is that he has now had two lengthy foot injuries, both I think due to breakages.

Rhys is still only 20, he's got stacks of time.

This was the situation we found ourselves in with Simon Grix not long after he'd signed. Those days are now well behind him and he looks pretty much indestructible.

Well lets hope we see the same with Rhys. He is still quite raw, but the few games he played for us this season were impressive. He looked a different player from the previous season and his tackling was excellent. Looks as though he will probably have to wait until next year now, but at least he will know that Matty is not coming back so I would imagine he could take that to be 'getting the nod' from the coaching staff.
