cooper..woolston tip are you serious man....talking out your mate

Well he did say Riley would never make it as a Super League player.

All depends on how badly they get booed if they make a mistake

This is a make or break year for both Blythe and Mitchell, it all makes for a lot of competition though.

I have not been as positive about our future since about 1986-1991. I would trust no man more than Smith in nurturing our talent.

It's going to take something special from them (or a major injury crisis) for Mitchell or Blythe to play more than bit parts this year....

Centres ahead of Blythe - Bridge, King, Atkins and probably VAnderson...

Back rowers ahead of them both - 2 x Andersons, Harrison, Westwood, Solomona, McCarthy, Grix, Clarke....

Good point, might be worth them being loaned out to Widnes or Leigh then.

In fact, only five or six of this eight - 2 x Andersons, Harrison, Westwood, Solomona, McCarthy, Grix, Clarke - will play each week.

Explain..?

Always difficult to predict at this stage. The one this that is certain is that we will have injuries and someone will step up, maybe even out of position. Its all about taking you chance in much the same way as McCarthy did in 2009.

I hope they all make good progress it will give us some real depth beyond a first choice 17.

I remember everyone knocking Chris Riley a while back but not now, I myself am guilty of this I used to wish Henry Faifili would get the next plane out, he seemed lazy, but a season later he definatly shone, and look at monas and king who would of thought it. I still hope for Penny imo he has a lot of potential.

But with regards to who will make it Tyrone needs to spend less time in the garage, it's so bloody obvious something is goin on between Molly and Kev jeeez man.

Cooper has it in buckets, just needs to keep his focus on the field. Mitchell can do it, he just needs to have few good games get some confidence in him and he will be right as rain. Blythe I'm unsure, he really needs to prove it. Some games last year he really soft and not at the races (Wigan Away). Thompson looks good, although we already have enough quality in that area at the moment.

Normally I'd just laugh at rubbish like this but I know that you are an ardent supporter of the Academy and watch these players week-in/week-out. Even to the extent of going all the way to Wakefield just to watch the Academy play.



By the way when is Sinfield signing being announced?
