im not reading all this drivel for 8 pages.... so im guessing, we sent out a good young player, who needs SL experince, to another club... and its a stick to beat the new coach with?

So would I if Dita remembers 85/86 season we brought a young raw lad no bigger than longstaff into the pack a lad called Gary Sanderson who partnered mark Robert in the 2nd row and they did ok..if your good enough age doesn't matter

Powell homself said he gave him targets to hit and things to do, and he wasn't doing them so why would he deserve to play first team if he's not doing what he's being asked to do to get in the first team?
People need to lay off Powell for not playing him, he's loaned him out to get game time and this is Longstaffs opportunity to show Powell he means business.

Think he'll stay with us. He's patting the badge already

Nothing in it IMO. Just excited to score a second in quick succession, and beating the chest rather than committing to Hull.

Or maybe I was his way of saying to Powell "These guys put me in the 1st team & look what I can do".....

....or maybe he was just excited at scoring 2 tries?

To be honest, that's how I saw it.

Young kid in a big game, scored on debut. Got a but carried away, but at least he's bought in to the occasion.

He looked to have a good engine. and good to see how he develops. Defensively caught out for a couple of HKR tries, but more down to lack of knowing the defensive systems than poor misses. Sure that will fix up with a full week with the team
