Good luck on this one. Taking one helluva chance, but if he knuckles down and cuts out all the cr*p that has prevented him reaching his enormous potential you might have struck gold with this one.

There seems to be a few waiting in the wings though. Looks like Whitehead will finally get a shot. Joe greenwood looks a good prospect as well as Bateman, Stevie Ward and our own Ben Currie, so I thinks it's a position with potential...?

Interesting article in the Guardian

I stand by the statement that the pack as a whole was poor during 2015. Presumably Tony Smith agrees with that view and that is the reason why he replaced 50% of it for 2016.

There are other threads on the forum which discuss whether or not Wilde, King, Philbin, Dwyer, Evans, Laithwaite could achieve the levels of performance for an elite Super League side 17. I think the consensus was that not one of them is yet at that level.

"Pack was woeful"....,

I can't give that statement an argument.
Possibly the worst pack since the blanked out dark times of Anderson and Plange.
There are individual forwards that singularly can carry credit during periods.
