No Ikihihifo?

It could be Riley Dean, a very talented fullback/halfback.

Riley dean went at 14 to wire and hudds never offered him a spot as he made it clear he was off to wire very early in the declaration process

At 14 all clubs with a scholarship submit a list of 20 players to rfl around June time, most clubs after the same core group so if you offer 20 spots and Leeds and Wigan have 8 similar to yours and that 8 go to either Leeds or Wigan you end up with 12 of your original picks, happens every year, sometimes players let clubs know they deffo won’t come so stops them wasting a spot while others like to collect offers

Without sounding harsh I for one am glad he didn't. Mikey Wood has become a very important part of our pack and really grew into the 13 role as last season went on. Really pleased we signed him up.

Liam Johnson has potential and is a good line runner with an eye for a try.unfortunately was found wanting in defence at times, and under Kear thats a big no no. Defence can be worked on though and I am sure he will have a good year at Dewsbury.

I was at our game against Batley on Sunday and Wood had a good game. Got his hands dirty and through a lot of work in the centre both with and without the ball. With him being so tall his frame is quite sleight think he would need a bit more size on to play back row in SL

Definitely think thats the right way to think about him having seen him Sunday. Tough kid
