I think he is our best prospect other than Tomkins. I think him and Prescott will make a great front row in future, both could be very Peacock style props.

Just as long as they don't do a Tansey and come back to Eurpe only to sign for another club.

Im pretty sure Leeds were happy to let him go, its not like he just turned his back on them.

With that in mind I intentionally left out Mathers

I think it said that hull have paid 30k to release him from his Leeds contract

True

Exactly, so Leeds didnt want him, thats their choice. He's been doing alright in a shocking Roosters team this year. So many young players could benefit from coming down here for a year, hope more do. Its great seeing more Brits in the NRL, 2 just isnt enough.

I'd send Liam Farrell down there tomorrow on a 12 moth scholarship.
Then I'd send Ian Thornley.

The only trouble is would we get the buy in from the Aussie clubs.

Would you ask the lads first? Only joking!
I'm all for it as long as they'd get a reasonable amount of playing time.

Didn't for one minute think they'd be getting first grade action. I was talking about reserve grade rugby.
Like you say the chance to train with first team and learn would allow them to develop further than they would in the reserves at Wigan.

Oh right, i misunderstood what you meant. If they play well enough they would get the opportunity, not many thought Tansey would see much playing time, but he's had a heck of alot. Saying that, how hard can it be to make the Roosters team this year?

You turning out next weekend?

The comparison with Aussie reserve grade is telling.
Arguably the form scrum half in SL is Dobson and wasn't first grade in Australia.

Totally agree, he'll learn a lot more under Nathan Brown than he would under Noble.
