nicholson is a very good player, his distribution is first class, another player to look out for in the reserves is keiron eccleston, only 17 years of age and already making an impact, played with him at amateur level, very classy player .

Great blocking play by the ref too on the Hunslet full back

Looked like the Alstead of old with his acceleration for that one.

He runs down the left, he runs down the right.....(quite literally!)

I was impressed by Nicholson, think he needs to develop a lot more yet, against a Championship side i think he would look out of his depth, much like Ridyard did when we brought him up too early, let him play in the reserves for the rest of the season and then see where he's at.

Be good to get Nicholson some game time off the bench against the likes of Keighley and Dewsbury at home.

I think that was the first match I have seen him play although I may be wrong on it being the first.

For me he has style and class and looked like a good rugby player.I would continue to play him as long as Robbie is out because he can cover two vital positions. I also feel he will gain more confidence with every first team game he plays.

When you are ready you are ready and I think he is.

Re the Donlan thread he is reliable but I would not worry if Basil gave him a couple of weeks rest and put Mort in. I think Mort would be busting a gut to show he is well capable of keeping his place.
