Quote: Rocky Bobby "Exactly the kind of player we need to keep and give game-time? When do they get this game-time exactly? We can't continue with a playing roster and youth development the size we have and expect them all to get a game, let alone make it into the first team, not if you want to win stuff along the way.

The sad fact is that if he was good enough he'd have broken through. Good luck to the lads as they find new clubs but it seems some fans want to have their cake, eat it, then roll around in the crumbs and get a wipe down from a maid.'"


I would be surprised if we signed him so recently from Bradford and he wasn't good enough. I know we can't play them all - that's exactly what I said about half a dozen posts ago - but of the youth we have, it's the forwards and the props in particular we need to develop over the next few years. We have 4 young first team centres, at least 4 young first team second rows, and only 2 young props, so why are we putting the U20s centres and second row ahead of the props?

Hellewell's had a good couple of seasons to make an impression and clearly hasn't done enough to get into the 1st team, especially with other young FBs ahead of him in the pecking order now. As for who the club are developing, there's no doubt that they've been pushing that in recent years, alongside Saints the best in the business, but there's only so many lads the team can blood.

If it happens that there's great centres and SRs coming through ahead of front rowers, they're going to naturally get their chance ahead of them. Can't imagine anyone in the coaching staff at Wire from Smith through Marshall to Chambers would want to put a young prop in who isn't ready yet. Glen Riley will be the prop to step up to the plate from the youth system, as and when the opportunity arises. And in the meantime I wouldn't be surprised to see an already established SL prop with us by the end of next season.

After watching the u20s a few times this season i think the form of jordan burke has sealed the fate of ben helliwell, and i agree, i think glenn riley will
get his chance next year
