Quote: Egg Chasing "I would argue that props don't hit their peak until their late 20s as their bodies have not fully developed enough to play that position well enough. Under a salary cap system you can't keep hold of 3 or 4 players hoping that they make it when they reach 26, 27.

Who was the last genuine 18-22 year old world class prop?'"


Going back a bit but Lee Crooks was quality at an early age.

Quote: NickyKiss "And I think he’s probably fair enough. After a strong start for us he’s looked jaded recently IMO and isn’t having as much impact with the ball. It’s understandable and the rest should do him some good and hopefully help him re-focus.'"


I don’t think his issues are when we’re in possession. It’s the fact he’s lazy in defence and seems to be saving himself to do the big impressive runs. Warrington in particular targeted the hole behind the play the ball every time bullock was marker. Clarke had a field day!

Probably also at fault for Leeds' stroll in try under the posts. Just switches off occasionally but great first year from him.

Exactly. He’s been a cracking signing but still has plenty of improvement in him. That’s a good thing.

A great first season at this level and I dare say he's played a lot more matches than the coaching staff had planned for. Giving him a rest won't do him any harm.

Totally agree but when he was making plenty of strong carries that defence could be forgiven a little but now the impact isn’t as high with the ball it makes it tougher to look past.

He’s been a good signing overall and hopefully he can improve what he needs to so he can kick on.
