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.

And where did i say he would learn more under Brown than Noble. He would not get a regular first team spot at Wigan as we have an abundance of SR players. Where at Huddersfield he will get a regular first team place which can only be good for him and help him develop as a player as the reserves are good for young players until they get to a certain level then they need to be in a better competition. Like Moore from Saints this year he would not get in the first team at saints but plays for you every week.

While i do not think that was insinuated in the original post i agree that Brown will be a better coach for Mossop than Noble.

That's a surprise!

Bailey out Mossop in next year imo.

He's a huge lad and the fact that he can play prop will only help his cause. This spell at Huddersfield will do him the power of good aswell much in the way it has done for Scott Moore.

I'd expect him back next year and to be fighting it out with Hansen, O'Carroll and Prescott for 1 of 2 bench spots.
