He played with Salford and was treated badly by Harrison. He had flu and Harrison made him play so they had a barny and that was that. As a junior he was always picked above fielden but signed for the wrong club. At 19 Wigan wanted to sign him but Featherstone wanted £100,000 for a 19 yr old. He then nearly went to London but didn't want to move away. When he signed for Salford he could of signed for wakey and I know he still regrets that now.

He is still an awesome ball handler and I think he could cut it but I know he has a decent job as well as playing at featherstone so don't think it will happen.

Another no nonsense hard as nails prop is Ryan Hepworth from Sheffield, an ex marine, built like a barn door. Turn him full time and he could be good, better than Matty James by a mile

You'll be old yourself one day.

Went to school with Ryan, it would’ve been interesting to see him go straight into semi prop/pro RL rather than joining Sheffield later on in his career. 31 next year so maybe his time has passed. Hard as nails though as you say.

Where is Dom Maloney these days? Always thought he played well when I saw him on the televised Championships matches. I think he signed for Hull FC a couple years back?

I remember hearing he'd signed for Fev next year and has been down In Oz playing in the Queensland Cup for Burleigh Bears.

I. Was watching them train at BV last Friday ,the way they were throwing the ball about and the off ball movement ,the props will be spectators .It looked good.
