I think he looks a very good prospect. Lets not forget the kid is only 19. Think we might be being a tad harsh. He was captain of England when our own Ben Currie played alongside him so he must be rated highly. It's good news for Laithwaite's future though.

Good young player with good potential. I'm glad that despite their off field problems they have been able to keep hold of him.

I'm not, i'm relieved. He might look like a great prospect at Bradford, but at Warrington he wouldn't get close to our first team. We have too much strength in depth and great youngsters coming through who would get picked above him. And if he does improve then I'm sure Moranovitch will get his chequebook out.

Also, he has a ridiculous rats-tail which could only be deemed as cool in Yorkshire...... or St.Helens.

TBH I've never been that impressed with him, when I've seen him play.. He's only in his teens, and has a good decade ahead of him, and I hope his career prospers. I just get the nagging feeling that he's going to be another one of these "big fish in a small pool" players at Bradford (no offence to Bradford, but they've not been exactly sparkling for the last handful of years). We've seen it with other players recently, and they've not exactly set the world on fire. IMO, we've dodged a bullet, and, if we believe Walter Wizard and the rest of our U20 watchers, we've already got some belters.

We have enough talented back rowers which means we don't need him
